[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. OP, I wouldn't do any of this. [b]Get presents at the appropriate times[/b] (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] It's Christmas, an appropriate time to give gifts. Let's not go too far the other way now. [/quote]
