But now, with my son, I am able to find joy when people make an announcement. (Though I will add that when I announced on FB and shared ultrasound pictures, someone remarked, "I hate seeing ultrasound pictures." OMG…) There is one weird situation though. When I was pregnant for my son, my cousin's girlfriend was pregnant, due a couple of months after me. And like me, she had pre-eclampsia at 35 weeks. We had different outcomes though… I delivered my baby by c-section at 37 weeks. She lost her baby girl at 35 weeks 1 day and had to have a c-section… Now, my cousin's girlfriend is pregnant again… and my brother and his wife are doing donor IVF. It's weird, because it's someone in my family being pregnant and my cousin's girlfriend being pregnant and I'm praying that everything turns out well. Until the baby is born, you never know…. and after the baby is born… you have a lifetime of worries as a parent :)AletaObriennoreply@blogger.com
