I'm an aunt! (Again)

DH's younger sister (although she is still 3 years older than me) had her baby today! Baby boy was born at 10:30 am. DH called to give me the news and he was so sad. In fact he freaked me out, I thought something happened to SIL or the baby. Turns out all is well, he was just very upset we can't have kids. I felt good and bad at the same time. Good - because he is really starting to feel this pain I have been dealing with for YEARS. Bad - well because he has to feel that pain. I don't think either of us really thought it would take this long. Oh well, onward and upward.

  2. Hang in there... I know it's hard -- and seeing your family members start shootin' out kids doesn't always make it easier, even as much as you love 'em. --My sister just had her FOURTH in May, right after our first IVF round went fantastically wrong... that was tough. ...But my sweet little new nephew sure is a cutie. Thank goodness that there can be times when the sweet is mixed in to temper out the bitter... and holding him is definitely a bittersweet balm for my soul.

    --Hope you're able to comfort and love on your hubby today...even though you've probably experienced what he's finally feeling WAAAAY longer, pain is pain, and it's never easy to deal with, is it? Hold tight to one another.

    praying for you guys~

  3. Yeah, i totally understand how you both feel! when my SIL had her baby boy a few months ago..i literally cried after seeing him at the hospital and we were standing in the hospital corridor! i thought..this could be me in the maternity ward holding my own little baby...oh well...need to keep positive and keep fighting on! We will both eventually become wonderful mom's to our babies!

  4. Oh I know that feeling...sad for each other, but happy for the other family members, it's all just so unfair :( I too feel like everyone is passing us by and I wonder if we'll ever have a baby of our own.

  8. Yay for being an auntie!! While it hurts, we still rejoice in God for the blessings of adding to our extended family and providing us the opportunity to serve as aunties.

    Have a great weekend!
