When we were struggling to conceive I would find myself sometimes having resentful thoughts about some people around me who were expecting, and even turning away from some people. Namely, two cousins who became pregnant at very young ages by random boyfriends. Now that I am pregnant I have had one friend who is struggling with infertility turn away from me. I realize how hurtful I have been to a few people because of my pain, and I am sorry for the way that I reacted in some situations. With that said, my close friends and sister have always been very sensitive to my struggles, and I could never do anything but love their children to pieces. I was in the room when my niece was born in January, and it was the most precious experience of my life. I was overcome with emotion at this miracle, and I cried and cried as she came into this world. Whether she was mine or not, it was amazing, and I am so thankful not only for this moment, but for my sister always sharing her children with me.
