How do you deal?

I just found out that my brother and sister in law are pregnant. My first reaction was pure happiness. I'm so excited for them and our family. That night I decided I was 90% happy and 10% jealous.

Now I'm 80% happy and 20% jealous. I hope that's where it stops.

How do you other bitter infertiles rejoice when someone you love gets what you want??

A tiny, turned-up nose...

My grandma used to sing this to me when I was little and today I just thought of it for no reason. Of course I started crying, knowing I'll never have a little girl to sing this to.

A tiny turned up nose
Two cheeks just like a rose
So sweet from head to toes
That little girl of mine

Two arms that hold me tight
Two eyes that shine so bright
Two lips that kiss goodnight
That little girl of mine

No one will ever know
Just what her coming has meant
Because I love her so
She's something heaven has sent

She's all the world to me
She climbs upon my knee
To me she'll always be
That little girl of mine
