I've actually been in good spirits lately. I though I was handling the holidays relatively well, even with the multitude of "look we just had a baby" Christmas cards. We just got one the other week from SIL with their two babies (15 months and 3 weeks) and I had braced myself for that, but today we got one from her mother with the two kids. How many photos do I need of YOUR CHILDREN? Honestly, I've been wondering how I would even handle having to be around these kids for the next two days. They are the only children so they are the sole focus of all events. So, to handle it, I've decided to make myself the fun, cool aunt from now on. I had one and we always fought who could sit next to her for Thanksgiving and Christmas. While I pray every day that DH and I will have our own kids this is how I will try to survive being around my niece and nephew until we do.
I hope that everyone has a happy holiday (or the happiest holiday possible!).

I hate those cards. It's not even because of my TTC issues. I just always feel like it's a bragging thing (like those letters, also).
ReplyDeleteI hope you have the happiest possible holiday, too.
Ditto, Kelly. I totally agree!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogging world! That's one thing I have promised to myslef- I will NEVER miss our on my relationship with my nieces and nephews because of IF! I don't feel bad skipping friends children's birthday parties and dedications, but I will always be there as much as possible for my family. Wishing you the Merriest Christmas possible! ~L.
ReplyDeleteThose cards make me want to scream. Thankfully, DH and I haven't gotten too many this year. And you are handling the babies on Christmas thing a lot better than I am!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful holiday.
