I still mourn what should have been, but am incredibly grateful for what will be.

Wow, a little more than 6 weeks to go! I can’t believe it.
That’s only 45 days; That’s only 1000 hours! I can smell it. It’s October and I can say we’re DUE NEXT FRICKING MONTH!
Time is flying by. My brother’s wedding that I spent so much time worrying about, and praying that Shelby’s belly is just HUGE for it was wonderful. She even did a good job not waddling down the isle! I remember, so vividly, being so nervous and scared writing a post about how so many life events are going on and Shelby’s pregnancy plays such a big part of it. Let’s recap;
- Friend due in Sept. Well, it was actually early august, and they had an adorable baby girl. While it is easier to deal with the birth, it was still a little harder than I expected. Their journey was different than ours, and part of me was still envious and even annoyed about it all.
- Best Man in brothers wedding. So awesome. Shelby was beautiful and I think I was happier seeing her waddle down the isle than the groom was when seeing the bride.
- Many engagement, bridal, and other parties. Everything was fun – I never get tired of talking about Shelby’s expanding belly. I can’t imaging what the alternative would have been like.
I feel so lucky right now and have more to say, but a quick update post seemed like a good idea. Nursery pictures in a few weeks!
After 5 years, we still walk the path of infertility. 7 IUI's, 1 miscarriage, 1 IVF and tens of thousands of dollars later we find ourselves pregnant. The path is still not clear, but we take it one step at a time.
