Baby envy

I realise I am completely unreasonable in this situation but I must find out if I am the only one....

I have a 1yr old, hes wonderful and I adore him but I do not want another baby for a few more years, DH in complete agreement. However, 3 of my friends are currently pregnant and whilst delighted for them I am utterly green with envy! Obviously I am not a total arse and would never dare admit this out loud IRL. But what is wrong with me?! Why can't I just be truly excited for them instead of feeling like I'm pretending to be excited whilst secretly wishing it was me doing it all over again?!

Please mumsnetters just tell me to get a grip and get over myself

Same here. I have a 3 year old and an 18m old and many days I am completely overwhelmed. Financially things are very hard. I want another one but we have agreed to wait at least 5 years. But I constantly wish I was pregnant.
Partly I think it's because it took us several years to conceive DD1 and then DD2 took us by complete surprise. I've spent so long longing for babies that it's now my default!
