So, my only brother's son was born in September. They lived pretty far from us - 15hr drive. They invited us to come to town to meet him, but we couldn't afford it the flight or to take the PTO, knowing I was pregnant. A few months ago, they moved even further away - to the west coast. We certainly won't be heading out there to visit anytime soon.

Well, they took their son to a family wedding earlier this month that we couldn't attend because of how pregnant I was. So, my whole family has met my nephew except us.

They had told us they were going to come to NC to visit my parents this summer. We were planning on seeing them when they were here. Now I find out they're not coming to town this summer. Am I ever going to meet our nephew?? Sigh. Just bums me out. I should note that they are much more well off than we are and can afford the flights and have the vacation time (she's a sahm, he started his new job a few months ago and hasn't taken any time off yet).

Has anyone else had this experience where you didn't get to meet your nieces or nephews until they were older? Thanks for listening to me whine a bit.
