a pregnant friend

I found out recently that a coworker who has had fertility issues for about 10 years or so and had given up on all fertility treatments and basically accepted that she was never having kids... is pregnant! I'm so happy for her. It gives me hope. I just love hearing stories of other peoples success who have had the same or similar problems as I have. I feel like I'm probably getting ahead of myself here because we haven't even started trying for kids yet. But, I feel like I need to set myself up to be prepared for disappointment. This way I won't be shocked and surprised when it doesn't happen for me the first time. I obviously have issues, so I might as well get used to the idea now. But, I would not at all be unhappy if I'm wrong and I get pregnant right away. That would be a miracle. Really, pregnancy in itself is a miracle. For everything to come together so perfectly is truly amazing. I learned that even if timing is perfect there is only a 40% of getting pregnant. That's crazy! It's amazing that it happens so often for so many people, but never for others. It seems unfair. Teens that don't want them get pregnant so easily, but a grown, employed, married woman tries and tries with no success. Ridiculous. Anyway, I am truly excited for my coworker and hope that soon one day I will know how she is feeling.
