My sister had her baby this morning. Little Kaitlyn is perfect and one of the cutest babies I have EVER seen. I was lucky enough to be allowed to stay during the birth and it was one of the most awesome things I've ever experienced... a little disturbing, but totally awesome!
I will admit that toward the end of the labor when my sister was in some serious pain, I did think to myself briefly "Do I REALLY want to have a kid?" but as soon as that baby came out and we got to hold her, I knew the answer right away.
Today was still a little hard for me. Once all of the excitement calmed down, I started thinking about the pregnancy I lost and about my due date that would've been next week. It's still hard to think about what we infertiles have to go through just to get that one precious thing.
In other news, I started my stims last night. I really hope I did it right - there's a lot of mixing with this set - I think it took me 1/2 hour to give myself both shots - I kept reading and re-reading the instructions. And the Menopur didn't sting at all.

Those directions can be confusing. I wasted a vial of Menopur and a vial of Gonal-F once because I accidentally drew up the Gonal-F and deposited it into the Menopur powder, instead of using the Menopur saline. Expensive mistake!
