My newest nephew was born a week and a half ago.  My sister-in-law was induced three days before her due date.  He was born with some lung issues and spent a few days in the NICU, but they're home now and doing well.  We went to the hospital to see them the day he was born.  He's an adorable baby.  My sister in law has sworn off more children after delivering him.  And this is the girl who wanted a house full of kids. 

Two of my other friends also had babies in the past week so it has been babies, babies, babies.  Last weekend I went and visited a new baby three days in a row.  I got lots of baby snuggles and actually enjoyed it rather than feeling sorry for myself.  I don't know if I'm accepting the fact that we don't and won't have children or something else entirely.  But I'm ok about it right now.

Christmas isn't even bumming me out.  Last Christmas was pretty difficult.  Our first failed IVF cycle was right around Thanksgiving so the holidays weren't so jolly.  I'm still not all gung-ho about celebrating, but I'm not miserable either.

We haven't done any decorating since our house is on the market.  Less stress for me too since I'm the one who does the bulk of the work.

The job situation is still crappy.  I was going to talk to my boss about a promotion and then his niece died unexpectedly and he had to leave town.  I've had a couple of other prospects come up, but nothing is for sure and I don't want to jinx anything.  Hopefully I'll know something in the next week or so.
