First off I know this is major pouting but here it goes...I am the last of all my friends to get married..everyone is in their late 20's or early 30's now so now that they're hitched they are ALL having babies and due a month before our wedding or the week of...I am super proud and happy for them (yes maybe a small small tinge jealous) but..I did all their showers, b-parties, weddings etc and feel like now that it's my turn and they're all preggers everyone is going to drop out at the last minute for everything from the showers, to all the help they've been offering.... to actually showing up to the wedding...not to mention all the baby talk if they do show up or me having to plan baby showers now(stamping foot)  my turn! my turn! my turn!ps. I love children and babies, I really do and know I'm acting like one

LOL! Don't worry, I think it's understandable. You don't konw for sure YET if they will drop out of anything. And I'm sure they adore you and will follow up on their promises. As for baby talk at your wedding, maybe you could put that in the invite? Lol! No baby talk what-so-ever! Ha!I don't think you're alone in feeling like this though!Hope your stress is relieved!

I kinda know a little of how you fell. 2/3 of my BM's will be TTC in the months leading up to my wedding. Since we're planning a DW, it's a little nerve-wracking thinking about the fact that if they're >5 mos. along they probably won't be travelling, and I'm a little bummed that if they're preggers they obviously won't be partying with us (like I did - and *they* did - at theirs). Also, a few friends won't be able to join us b/c they have little ones at home that they can't/won't leave and they can't manage a family trip. Alas, you and I both know that as much as this may make us a little sad, there's really no other option but to revert to just being good friends to them - support them in their pregnancy and new mama-hood, and be glad if they're willing/able to help us out when they've available and show up if possible. This is just what comes along with being friends. But it does suck when people's perfectly good other priorities mean that we're not their priority anymore. I'm with you on that.

I think that although they are having children, they need to do exactly what you did for them. They need to be there and plan the parties and be excited with you. Also, they can not talk about babies for one day. It is ridiculous that you would even have to say that to them, they should know.

Maybe stupid but what is TTC?

TTC = trying to Conceive.

Amy - I'd try no tto worry too much. Most of my friends are married and half of them are on their second kid, so I wasn't really expecting any of them to be excited about the wedding or being a BM or whatever. However, they've all surprised me with their support so far. I think you'll be OK, and there's nothing wrong with telling them that it's important to you for them to be there for these things if they can.
