[quote=Anonymous]NP here. OP, I wouldn't do any of this. Get presents at the appropriate times (baby shower, birth of the baby). But don't do any of this other stuff. It seems over the top, and it might make her feel awkward. I also would stop talking to them about the infertility. Just drop it as a topic of conversation with them. I would not pursue it. Don't invite a pity party. If you end up not having children, you will regret always being painted as the poor, old childless aunt. Be kind and celebrate with them, but I would back away from any discussion of the infertility struggles with them from this point onward. Trust me. It will go a long way in keeping the relationship neutral -- not one where it feels like one party has something the other desperately wants.[/quote]
