Infertility Stinks!!!

The struggles with infertility reared it's ugly head again today. I wish I could get over this. Today at work I got an invitation for Friday to a baby shower. It is happening on Friday afternoon at work. The woman that is pregnant cried for at least a week after she found out she was pregnant because she was so upset about being pregnant. She is quite a few years younger than me and her girls are in high school and she did not want to start over again. Just hearing that she cried about finding out she was pregnant has been killing me since I heard this in June. I like her, she is a nice person, it is not that. And I honestly don't think she is married either, I don't know for sure, but I don't think she is. I had to deal with this 3 years ago for another co-worker, not married, pregnant with her 3rd child. We (meaning at work) threw a baby shower for her too. Her reason for being so upset about being pregnant??????????????????? Get this, you are not going to believe this, but these are the actual words she said to me!!!!!!!! Because when they go out to eat there will be 5 of them and it will be an uneven number. I told her to have another one then. How do you deal with this??? I really wish I could shut these feeling off. I want to be happy for people when they have babies, I really do.
I think the biggest thing that bugs me is that last December, we adopted Libby and Jon. There was no mention of it at all. NONE!!!! Nobody knew at work unless I told them. I didn't expect a shower, but I really wanted them to let everyone know. But, they didn't. It really, really hurt.
I am so thankful for my 3 babies. I wouldn't want any other children, I love these children with all of my heart and I am so blessed. God blessed my husband and I so much by allowing us to adopt these children. I don't want anyone to think I am ungrateful for the miracle that God has given us, I am not. I just wish we would get the same recognition.
Please excuse this whine. I usually don't post like this, but I needed to get this out tonight.

Happy 4th Birthday Libby!!!

Today was Libby's actual birthday, so we had a little celebration tonight. We had cupcakes and some presents (the rest she got at the birthday party last week.) She and Ally also went to a train show with Daddy this morning and McDonald's (a very rare treat)for lunch. Happy Birthday, Lib, we love you.
I also want to explain the 2 candles on the cupcakes. Ally bought this Webkinz over the summer and it has the same birthday as Libby. She has been insisting for months that we would have cupcakes and a candle for this dog, so we did.

Daddy's First Field Trip

Ally had her first field trip this year and Daddy got to go along. This is the first time he had the chance to go with her and he really enjoyed himself. They both did.

More Presents

My oldest sister and her husband couldn't make it for the party on Saturday, so they came Sunday afternoon to visit. The kids always love to see Aunt Carol and Uncle Bob.

Big Birthday Party!!

Today was the big party for Jon and Libby. They both have birthdays in October and I only have 1 family party. Jon turned 2 and Libby is turning 4 next week. We had a great time and they did not want to go to bed tonight, they were having too much fun.

Homework already!!!

Libby had a leaf project to do for preschool. It was supposed to be about her and the things she likes. She was so proud of it.

Happy Birthday, Jon!!!!!!

On Jon's birthday, we just celebrated as a family. We went to Chik-fil-A for dinner and let the kids play for awhile. Then I took Jon shopping for shoes and we came home and let him open some presents.
