all at once we're there...

it came last night.
the news we have all been waiting for; expecting.
over a dinner of roast and potatoes my brother and sister-in-law made the announcement with a "congratulations! we think you'll make great grandparents!" card given to my parents. even before it was read eyes were misty. of course i cried. i always cry. a baby! a new little maguire! i will be an aunt.....that is so weird! i am so thrilled that they were able to get pregnant. God is good. i cannot wait for april 24th, 2007!!
and yet, in the midst of all the happiness i am sure there were four whose hearts were aching. there rejoicing in front of them was a young couple who was going to have what they had lost, what they could not have. i wonder how they must have felt. my heart breaks for them......
tonight i am going out for sushi with brian. i am looking forward too it, but am making too big of a deal out of what to wear. nothing that i put on is comfortable. : )
