An invite

While dealing with IF I pretty much ignored any family invite to baby showers, kids b-days and lots of holidays. After a while I stopped getting invited. But, what did I expect?

Well, the word of the twins has gotten around to the extended family and I received a phone call from one of my cousins inviting us to her son's 1st b-day party in a few weeks. I think we may actually go. We are super busy that weekend but I think it is time to finally make an effort to heal the scab of infertility.

Over the years I really did not care what they thought when I didn't show up to things. In the beginning I tried to explain how I was feeling and how it was all self-preservation, but they didn't seem to care, so I stopped caring. There have been lots of babies born in my family (extended) since we began our struggle and I guess it is time to meet all of them and mend the fences. I hope that the family doesn't give me a hard time.
