I get so upset- how do you handle it?

Sorry regular poster here, but I just want to stay unknown for a bit, too many people know me IRL

Most if not all my married friends have kids. we are a little bit behind, but I was ok with that because we really wanted to be set up in a house and in a good place with our jobs before having a family.

In the past 2 weeks I have 4 friends that have announced they are pregnant with their 2nd.

I never get upset when it’s the 1st, but the 2nd kills me. I know I shouldn't let it upset me, but we have been trying for almost a year now, and I really really want a family. I don't just want a baby, I want a family. I don't have any family, and I love DH's family, but my dream has always been to have my own family. I just get so bummed sometimes.

How do you handle it?

I know it will happen when the time is right, but I’m growing inpatient now

TIA for any advice
