I'm an AUNT!

This afternoon, my sister-in-law (brother's wife) gave birth to a perfect baby boy.   I'm so excited to be an aunt for the first time!

Re: I'm an AUNT!

  • Yayyy!  Congrats. 

    Not to downgrade your happiness for them but I had a lot of sadness around my nephew for a while. No matter how much I love my nephew, I found that I would often cry after seeing him and my happy brother and SIL. I know you're going through a bit of a tough time with expectations lately so if you wanna chat, feel free to PM me.

    Thanks!   I am feeling better now than I was earlier this week.  I know it will ebb and flow though.
