I'm going to be an aunt again
My brother called me last week to let me know that his wife is pregnant! She just found out, so she's not even sure of her due date yet (but given when she got the BFP...my guess is sometime right around Christmas). It was bad timing for me to get the news, since we just started cycle #21 of trying...but a new baby is never bad news. I hate that I'm not happier about it, but I know I will be soon.

Re: I'm going to be an aunt again
Do they know about your struggle you have had in your TTC journey?
I find it a little weird someone would instantly tell everyone they were PG, right after they found out. IDK, thats just me though.
That's exciting to be an aunt again though
Yeah, they know. And my brother was trying to be caring...he acknowledged that he wasn't sure how to tell me, since he knew it wouldn't be the easiest news for me to hear. (And then he proceeded to ask for updates on our issues....which was exactly what I didn't want to talk about right after he told me his wife is pregnant.)
As for telling right away....they're not telling everyone, I don't think, just close family. And truthfully, we did that. The first time, we told our families right away, and then we had to call back and tell them we'd lost the baby. The second time, we waited until we'd confirmed we'd lost the baby, and then we called to tell them that. It was actually much harder to call with the news of the second m/c because they hadn't already known we were expecting. I know not everyone views it the way I do, and that's totally fine, but I want the prayers and support of my family and close friends when something like that happens. If I get pregnant again, we'll probably tell people right away....because I want them to pray for the baby right away, and if I lose another one, Lord knows I'll need those prayers, too!

I'm sorry Carrie. It is hard to hear that news especially with everything that you guys have gone through. I am praying and thinking of you guys everyday.
I am hoping that it will be you guys soon that announce news. Thinking of you!
Congrats on being an auntie again! I didnt struggle that long to get pg but with the 2 losses, I know it is tough to hear about others, so I can only imagine what it is like for you. It it tough for you and tough on everyone else because they don't know what to say. I give your brother credit for thinking about your feelings and showing interest in your issues. I know it isnt what you wanted to talk about but think that he was at least trying to think about you and your feelings. Most people still avoid talking about Charlotte unless I bring it up. And even when I do, they still don't like to talk about it.
I was always sad when others were getting pg or having their babies and I wasnt. I don't think you can avoid feeling that way.
(( big hugs ))
