BABY SHOWERS!  January is a busy baby month for me.  I have 2 baby showers.  I am excited about them.  It seems like since I have been going through this journey of infertility I value life so much more.  When I hold a new baby or see a new mom I feel overwhelmed with joy and sadness.  I will admit sometimes God and I have the “Why Me” Talk.  And I don’t know if this has happened to you but it happened to me last year when I had to HOST 2 Baby showers: one for my Sister and another for my Sister-in-law while I was going through 2 failed Iui attempts.  Whew! that was a freakin trip.  I never spent so much time in the bathroom. Crying because I was happy, jealous, excited, sad, confused, thrilled and mad at the world all at the same time.  I can tell you my nieces are here and they are ABSOLUTELY beautiful.
