Went to my brother and sister-in-law's baby shower this weekend. It was nice to see them both, since it's been over a year (!) since we saw them last. Their dogs are so funny. One is super-hyper and the other was extremely shy.
So my husband and I are going to be godparents! To a baby boy, whom we are looking forward to meeting in April. We found out the gender at the shower- via a pinata full of blue Hershey kisses and It's A Boy! confetti. We are really excited for them. Ok, so maybe I am a little more excited than my husband. I did go overboard and bought them a lot of things for the shower, but they need all of it. My sister commented that I seemed really too excited at the shower- I was beaming the whole time, full of giddy happiness.
So I guess I'm living my dream vicariously through my SIL right now. I got to feel the baby kick the other night, and it made me so happy. I am really happy for them.
It doesn't help that we'd talk about baby things and I was like, "Oh, I read on this web site about (insert baby comment here)..." and then I'd inevitably end my sentence with, "...when we have our own child," because we haven't told anyone else we're trying. Of course, my SIL then said, "It'll happen sooner than you think! We thought it would take longer, but it happened on the first try!" I almost wanted to cry and tell her right then that we've already been trying for the past 6 months with no success yet.
I just keep praying, "Please, God, let us be a family soon."
I hope I get an answer soon.
