Maybe something is wrong with me. I completely admit I am not ready for another one. The desire right now is like a 2 on a scale of 10.
But a friend recently found out she was pregnant, a surprise.. and 30 weeks along! Um, why am I so jealous and wishing it would happen to me?

I think that it's natural. I have felt this way several times, even before I got pregnant. I really can't explain why I felt that way. It may be just because I felt like positive things were happening for them, and I wanted a little bit of that too, even though my life was going great at the time. Jealousy is a very strange emotion, it pops in at strange times.

I would love that myself, mostly because that means I made it through the first half of the pregnancy without puking everyday. :) And it would be nice to find out and then have the little one in just a few months!
It is human nature to want what you can not have, in this case what you choose not to have right now. I'm sure you are happy for your friend, but still that clock isn't quite sure it has had all its time before it runs out, correct?
You are not alone, I normally say to my friends that I wish I was pregnant now, the key is to not be overcome with jealousy so you are not happy for the person, they makes a big difference.

I am not overcome with jealousy, thankfully. More like an undesired and suprising longing. I swear, my kids have me pulling out my hair everyday, I feel stretched thin. I don't want another one for at least two more years.
I don't want another baby-ever. But, when one of my sisters get pregnant and they talk about how the baby moves and kicks in them, I too get just a little jealous. Which is weird, because I really, really don't want more kids. It's something about feeling a new life in me, I like it.

I'd love another but not yet. It's going to be at least another couple of years before I am ready for that I think. I love my kid, but all the same, two little ones is too much for me to cope with!
You are only human and this is something that many have battled with before you and others will battle with after you. Its all a part of being human so don't worry too much over it.
