Hi, everyone!  I sent out one message on this topic but I don't think 
it went through.

I was just wondering if anyone else has a small problem with 
pregnancy envy, or if I'm just the odd one in the bunch.  I find 
myself terribly jealous when I see pregnant women out roaming the 
shopping malls and grocery stores, etc.  Don't get me wrong--I'm very 
happy for them and it's such a joyous event.  I just missed out on 
the whole experience by being on bedrest.  I often wonder what it 
would feel like (wonderful, obviously) to be 7 or 8 months pregnant 
and up walking around, shopping at the mall, running my own errands, 
and just enjoying the experience.  I missed out the first time, and 
it's possible I'll never know what it's truly like to be a normal 
pregnant woman.

Do any of you occasionally feel jealous when you spot a radiantly 
glowing expectant mother out freely enjoying he condition?  I 
do--hope I'm not alone!
