Am I crying wolf this time?

I tell you - it is very very lucky that I have you guys, cause I think my family doesn't really give a rats about me.

After the scan on Monday I called my sister. She had forgotten about the scan. I reminded her and she asked how it went. When I told her she said "wow that is fantastic.........Did I tell you how cute Max (the rescue puppy) is at the moment?" I guess she thought that was all she needed to say and that it was time to change the subject.

So tonight I rang my brothers. S said "that is great news congratulations.......i don't really have any news to tell you- things are much the same here" - again conversation over. I was a little down so I called my other brother P.

P said "ohh ok. Well we will cross our fingers it all works out for you" (definately in a "I will believe it when I see it" tone ). I guess I am not too surprised. They have heard us say three times before that we were pregnant only for us to miscarry. Why should this pregnancy be any different?

So I called my niece\nephew\niece (the three of them share a house). My younger niece answers and she was soooo excited for us that it made up for all the rest. It was genuine excitement and I thank her so much for it - I really needed that. Then my nephew got on the phone and he was the same - very excited to be having a new cousin!. (my other niece is on a cruise at the moment - coming home in a week for one day before heading off to Bali - ohh the life of a travel agent).

Why can't they just be happy for us? Why do they have to make me feel like I am crying wolf again? Why does infertility have to affect all my family, instead of just affecting Hubbs and I?

In other news - my diet just isn't cutting it with the diabetes, despite my perfect eating regime. I started 12 units of insulin last night with dinner. Oh well - whatever it takes for us to have a healthy baby. Whatever it takes.
