My sister-in-law just gave birth to a gorgeous 10lb 5oz baby boy!!!! He's absolutely precious and my husband and I are officially an Aunt and Uncle for the first time!! It's just the strangest feeling. I was so excited to meet this little one and over the moon for my SIL, but my heart aches- it's a feeling I've never felt before. I cried of course when I held him because I was so happy, but behind my tears was an extremely overwhelming l sadness that I am not yet holding a baby of my own and more than that- I don't know when I will be. I'm lying in bed right now just trying to come to terms with this feeling of envy and heartache while being excited at the same time. It's definitely uncharted territory for me and I'm not a fan. My best friend is due in February, my brother's wife is due in March, and my sister is due in July. I am going to have to get used to this feeling and definitely pace myself. It's going to be an exciting but trying time. Any other wannabe moms ever had these feelings? My stomach is just in knots. I feel guilty for feeling this way but I cannot turn it off. How have you coped? 😕
