Two A@#holes Enter My Life - Stage Left

Here's the scoop - I had a GREAT morning! Saw a co-worker at the local Starbucks drive-thru. She bought my chai tea. Ah, I can't wait to pay it forward... A few minutes later, walked into my classroom and there was a card and a "Teacher's Do It All," or something like that, inspirational book on my desk - delivered by the mother of a student who just recently became aware of my IF history. Sweet! This is going to be an amazing day! Got two more emails from Mrs. Makes Excuses (posted 'bout her a few days ago) and she's been kissing my butt. Score one for the teacher who doesn't compromise her beliefs for a moronic mom!

And then, Asshole #1 enters with the following text:

M (my lil' bro) and I got to see the baby this morning...

the baby was dancing around, very active!

I can't wait to show u the pictures.

Seems innocent enough, even though I still don't understand WHY it's so difficult for fertile people to grasp how INSENSITIVE it is to parade their happy news to us...but here's the freakin' kicker. This is the FIRST time I've heard from my sister in law since I dropped off her bday card and pedicure gift cert AND the much agonized over "congratulations" on baby card. (see previous post to understand sheer frustration) To date - no phone call, email, or text to thank for the heartfelt card from either my SIL or my brother. :(

I move through my day...the following is an email that I received from a "supposed" close friend, Asshole # 2, who recently found that her prayer's were answered. - GAG! You should know that this girl was a bridezilla, to say the least, and now appears to be a mommyzilla. This is the 3rd baby update I've had the displeasure of receiving.

Hello friends,

We hope this note finds everyone doing well.
Just dropping a note to say hello and to give everyone a quick update on Baby M. We had a 10-week visit yesterday with an ultrasound, and learned that Baby M is now 3.19cm and based on his/her size, the due date is looking closer to September 2nd…which is right on schedule! The baby has doubled in size since two weeks ago and is now also kicking & moving his/her arms very vigorously…which was so cool to see! N. & I will go for our 12-week visit in two weeks where we will have an even clearer ultrasound done. We are so excited to see that, and will be even happier to then be out of the first trimester!
As an update from mommy-to-be, I have been very fortunate as I am 10-weeks & 2 days along and still have not experienced any morning sickness. If I can go another two weeks without getting sick, I will be one of the lucky mommies to be! ;-) Work has been extremely busy for me at _____, which is tough for a pregnant woman, but at the same time…it is making the time fly by super fast. I just can't believe only two more weeks until I am out of the first trimester!...I have no idea where this time went! I guess that's not such a bad thing ;-)
Other than us both being very busy at work, we are spending as much quality time as we can in our last "alone" months together and also taking time to prepare our "nest" for baby to arrive.
Take care & will keep you posted on baby's progression. :-)
Love,
Asshole #2

I've taken the liberty to highlight in red the parts that made my heart bleed today. I hate that I started so positive this morning and ended with such a heavy feeling in my chest. My DH doesn't understand. He thinks I need to prepare myself for more punches in the gut and just distance myself. But I can't. I'm astounded at how many people around me are so hurtful. Why is it that I'm afraid to call them out on it?
