This time around its for me!

Just have to share my happiness this morning.  DH and I tried to get pregnant for almost 4 years, we had some help from an RE and then we finally got pregnant but had a miscarriage a little later on that people normally lose babies.  We tried again for a little while after we lost Elisabeth, but ended up giving up.  We got a BFP this go around on one of the few months in four years that we weren't temping and charting or taking medication.  Sometimes it just happens this way...we even had to cancel an IVF cycle because apparently we were able to do it on our own. 

After years of heart break watching other people around us have babies, and watching my neice grow...who is two months younger than Elisabeth would have been, our hearts were so ready for this baby.  But we've been worried the whole time, because the pregnancy has been so complicated. 

Anyway, over the years we've been used to getting shower invites for other people and planning showers for other people, its always a little bitter sweet....so happy for our friends and family, but sad for us.  But this morning, I got a shower invitation in the mail and this time it was for ME :  )  Sometimes it takes things like this for reality to hit me, in not too long we're gonna have a little boy in our house and we never thought that it was possible. 

OK done  :  )

    This makes me smile and cry at the same time.  We only had to try for 2 years with the help of an RE and got pg on a cycle without charting or anything.  You're right, it just happens that way sometimes.  I'm so happy for you.  It's so nice to be talking about baby showers for me this time.  So happy for you!
