Shannon, sorry to hear that AF arrived. Hopefully her next visit will be much better. As for your friend announcing her pregnancy, I would say your feelings are completely normal. A family member announced their pregnancy when DS was only a couple of months old, and I felt jealous too...maybe it's because she can do it so easily, and in the traditional fun, exciting way?
But maybe you're onto something when you say it's because we can't control the how many and when?? Sometimes I feel like those feelings will be something I experience forever.

Lis, good to hear from you So cool that Emma is now crawling. Are you getting much rain from the ex-cyclone?

OK, so I know I already posted in here today, but I had to come back and say that DS sat by himself tonight!! Well, he kind of sat there for about 20 seconds before he starting veering off to one side. DD took some pics and she got one of him smiling. He thought he was so clever and was giggling and smiling away, normally when we get the camera out he stops smiling, but not tonight! DH is at work on nightshift, so he missed out, can't wait to show him tomorrow though!
