[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No here. The auntie and uncle onsies are a bit much and the fact that your note was directed more at your experience as an aunt and uncle is where you come off as self centered.

I was in your shoes op and I didn't try to control how my friends or families did anything. They didn't have to announce things in advance or change the way they dealt with their excitement.  My feelings are my responsibility.  I just didn't have any ill will at friends and family members who got pregnant before I did. Their fertility was in no way related to my infertility. [/quote]

NP, ok, this is what worked for you PP.  Sounds like the rest of us posting feel like OP is being honest about both being happy and struggling, and it sounds like the SIL and BIL were sensitive to this and trying to do this right and also awkward about it, so frankly OP's card sounds totally appropriate to me.  Totally.

And OP, I think the uncle and aunt onesies is a lovely gesture.  I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like that or think it's cute.  They will no doubt get a ton of other stuff, but that is special and specific to you guys and your relationship-to-be with the baby, so go for it.[/quote]
