Whirlwind of emotions

Yesterday was a day full of emotions. I went to work like normal, did excedingly well in sales, my husband did well too! A major change for him!
Then after work I got on facebook to see why one of my friends was not at work and i found out she had a dr apt to find out how far pregnant she was, well at the ultrasound they couldnt find anything. So they told her she lost the baby. I commented on her status that i was so sorry for her loss and that i know what pain she is going through seeing as ive lost 4 myself with no living children. I told her also that if i could be of a listening ear im here and that i wish i could give her a hug.
Then a huge relief set in, i was shocked that it even crossed my mind but now i dont have to see the reminder of i lost mine by her showing off the ultra pics or heartbeat sounds. I was supposed to be 22 weeks. Im still greiving. I know i am not over it yet. She is the type that rubbed the pregnancy in my face. I broke down at work several times because of it. I feel horrible and i am completely heartbroken for her because i know the pain. She has a beautiful son to go home to everyday.
Then after i found that out i got an email letting us know we were accepted to be foster parents! Finally my dream of being a "parent" has happened! We chose this route because i have unexplained infertility. We start classes in feb! Well i got a post on my fb status saying how dare you post such happy news after your friend lost her baby. Thats rude. I was floored, i didnt reply but i cried. This has been my dream for the last 3 years.
Anyway, its kinda a vent but seriously? My body is on such a roller coaster im not sure what today brings.

Thank you, we are beyond excited. We have so much to do by february but yet its scary all at the same time. We dont know what age we will have. We have a huge range from newborn to age 12.

Just enjoy the ride! I'd be interested to know what age you get as everything settles into place.
