This is more about writing down my feelings than anything else. So as some of you may know, the connection between my family and my ex's family is somewhat complicated. This is the simplest way to explain it:

 

I have a brother-in-law. His sister is married to my ex boyfriend's brother.

 

I met my ex through them. Needless to say, I have nothing to do with the ex anymore and haven't done for around 8 months now (break up was 9 months ago tomorrow). Just before Christmas I also stopped having any contact with his family (there are a lot of them, he's one of eight kids) and I've felt better for it. Finally felt like I was moving on.

 

Anyway, ex's brother and sister-in-law have just welcomed their new baby boy into the world today. I don't have either of these on Facebook any more, as mentioned above, but there are members of my own family who are close to them and all I'm seeing is posts about the baby and the entire family.

 

I'm really pleased for them of course, and happy that the baby has arrived safely. But every post I see reminds me of the ex and it's a blow every time. I'm hoping after a few days it won't affect me so much though. I hate that it's making me miss him and the future we planned. :/

 

Still, my own baby niece is due next month (very close to my birthday too) so that's enough to keep me smiling. :love:
