Rainforest Excitement!

I had been volunteering for a seasonal children's consignment sale this last weekend and by volunteering I was given so much in store credit for each 3 hour shift. I ended up make $60 in in store credit and today was the day when I could use it. During the last 4 days I have seen so many awesome items come through the door and I was half debating on using the credit towards clothing and items I could donate to someone in need... and then someone brought in some of the fisher price rainforest items that I did not have.

Long story short after my $60 credit I paid $2.84 and I bought the entire rainforest crib bedding set, the rainforest bathtub, a brand new jjcole diaper bag, a vhs of school house rock 30th edition (for dh and I of course), about 20 vanilla pacifiers and a eric carle feeding pillow.
 
I was so happy to find the rainforest stuff and when I showed dh what the cribbing looked like he was amazed with how awesome it was. I of course still don't have the entire set, I still don't have either of the swings, the high chair or the lamp and diaper bag but I now own the rest of the set and it makes me happy. You know the feeling you get in your stomach when you are excited, yeah it's been a long time since I had it but after seeing Josh's reaction to the set and him saying that he hopes I can find the rest of the items I am excited and I an not sure why really. It just means that I have items but still no baby to use them.

My tentative plans are to go on a gluten free diet or at least try it out for a few weeks and then see dive in head first with pro and clomid. For the rest of the week I have to work on a ton of homework I have to still do for next week when spring break is over.

I am volunteering for a childrens consignment sale, for the fun of it this year. I thought it would be for the fun of it that is. I earn money good towards purchasing items from the sale for each shift I work, at this point I am wondering if I am driving myself nuts by volunteering or not. I have met some really great people, of course they all already have kids or are expecting, so here again I go and when I tell them I don't have any children, they look at me and saying oh how far along are you. Breaks my heart. I don't even care that they think I might be pregnant and not fat, it just makes me feel like crap.
They have some really adorable stuff there and when I worked it last year I used the credit that I had there towards some toys from the rainforest collection and some other things, now however I have a lot of items and still no child to use it and will have more credit and things I could get but no child to use them. At this point I have other peoples children set up with clothes and toys from the last years sale and from some cl shopping I did.
Days like this are hard for me and I find myself asking the question why me, why do I have these problems and why can most other people I know have no issue with this. Some people worry about getting pregnant and go to great lengths, however, it's just the opposite with me.
