I understand how you feel.

For me, it was when my son was forever in my arms.

He is napping (for those of you who read my napping thread, WAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!) in the next room, in his crib... he looks so sweet and peaceful. He's my precious son. The fact that I didn't give birth to him is so insignificant to me.

Up until we had our travel dates, I would still get pangs of sadness over not being able to get pregnant, especially if a friend or family member announced a pregnancy or gave birth. Like you, I did not go through extensive infertility treatments, I had another path to follow. The pain lessens, I think it just is different for each of us on 'how'.

Now, I am able to celebrate the births and pregnancies of my friends and family. Especially since I am SO blessed to have such a supportive circle of people around me to celebrate my son as much as I celebrate their children!

Chin up. It will get easier! Don't be hard on yourself!
