[Tigger&Belle]

It's natural to be jealous over the pregnancy thing. My nephew and his wife finally had their first baby (he's a toddler). I know that they had to try real hard to have this baby--not sure what hoops they had to jump through, but they can't afford to do it again unless they just happen to get pregnant the old fashioned way, which sure didn't work for them before. My neice, however, pops them out when she thinks about having sex. She has a boy the same age as my nephew's son, and 6 older (plus her DH's from his first marriage) and I just found out that my neice is pregnant again, this time not planned. Can you imagine how my nephew feels when they can't hardly have a baby, but his sister can't seem to have them fast enough, not to mention she has a jerk for a husband who hardly even wants to take care of the kids they do have. Not good!

T&B- Your poor nephew. I feel so bad for all of the couples struggling with infertility. And it always seems that the very people who don't need kids can get pregnant just by sitting next to each other.

I'm trying not to stress about this whole thing- it's not like it's going to do me any good. And it's not really like I want things to be different either- I know I didn't want to get pregnant before our WDW trip, and I certainly don't want anything to happen to SIL's baby- so things are the way they are.

I still just feel rotten though. And I know that she would be just as jealous if i had got pregnant first, and I don't want her to feel like this.

I know it was rough on her when I got engaged and Mark and I were planning our wedding. They got engaged later and everything worked out, and I know we'll be fine too. We need the extra time to save money and get ready financially anyway.

WHY does no one tell you how hard these things are? I guess if someone had warned me I might have opted not to grow up.

My SIL just called to see if I wanted to go work out, but since I have been crying since last night (and I didn't really want her to see my swollen puffy face) I said I couldn't because I'm working on my senior project (which is also true).

But, as usual, I'm not very good at hiding my emotions, and she asks me what's wrong. "Oh, I'm tired." She asks, ok, you'd tell me if something was wrong, though? and I said, "Would it make a difference?" (I wasn't trying to be snarky- in a non #10 way- just serious). She was like, "Um, no. Ok, Bye." Click.

So, I sat here for a minute, and called her back, and she's crying hysterically and I start crying hysterically. I told her that I just didn't want to tell her I was upset because I didn't wanther to be unhappy right now- this should be such a happy time for them. But she's crying because she knows I'm feeling awful. What a mess we are.

But, I assured her that I am happy for her, just unhappy for me for the moment. And we talked it out. I feel MUCH better. And I assured her that she can talk to me about the pregnancy and all of that- we're best friends! And her parents may not be totally supportive of her being pregnant (that's a whole other issue) so I know she needs me.

I just hope that when I go to the ob/gyn on Thursday everything is a-ok and plans for May 28th can continue as scheduled!! That will definitely improve my mood!

Sorry I'm rambling a bit- no one else knows sis-in-law is pregnant yet, and I can't really talk about it to anyone we know. So, thanks for listening and giving advice- you guys have made me feel MUCH better!!!

It's hard out here for a girl! I've had these moments. You just want to shoot yourself for being such a girl, then the next minute you're sooo glad you are one.

 

[beckmrk04]

I'm totally glad I'm a girl.

And I'm hoping for a nephew. Although, she wants to name him Killian- and I promised her I wouldn't say anything about the name, but I'm not loving it.

Killian- what will the nickname be? Kill? Killer? Irish Red?

 

[MouseWorshipin]

Killian- what will the nickname be? Killer?

I have a slightly warped sense of humor...but I think that would be hilarious!

That reminds me of a name my friend is going to name her baby girl, Kellan.

And my niece, who pops the babies out so has her hands full and isn't even able to keep a house that's even close to picked up (and I'm not talking high standards). The kids basically are responsible for the house and the start doing heavy chores at 5yo (I mean working with one sibling doing the laundry for the whole family, doing the dishes for everyone, etc--major chores). So it's a disaster because the kids are not old enough to be doing what they are expected to be doing.

Oops, I just posted over on the Tigger&Belle thread about the new Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavor...Magic Brownie. Maybe that was the wrong thread to post it on. I think I forgot that I wasn't over here. Anyway, what I said over there was that the ice cream did not give me the buzz that I remember from long ago in my college days. Yes, it was long ago. Yes, mouse, I am a boring housewife now! The ice cream is so good, though!

At least that could be shortened to Kelly, if they want a nickname, as opposed to killer.

Or killie?

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Or killie?

For the boy? I don't think that was one of the options provided me. I'm not using my imagination for him.

sure why not. Or Kilo.

While I'm partial to Killer....Kelly is an excellent, EXCELLENT name!

 

[Aidensmom]

Are we talking about a kid or a dog? Killer?!!!

 

[beckmrk04]

Hopefully the pains of pregnancy/labor or the mood swings will make her change her mind. I'm not so sure... I'll love it no matter what it's name is.

If it's a girl it's going to be Magdalena.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Yeah, and they could nickname her mouse!

It did get me a second to get why you were saying that--I'm a bit slow!

 

[beckmrk04]

I'll be done with my senior project tomorrow!! Hooray!!

I'm typing now. well, here and on my paper.

 

[MouseWorshipin]

A slow AND boring housewife! SURE.



CONGRATS, BECKY!

Blah. I am so sick of reading about/writing about teenagers and their sex habits.

Thanks MW!!

I am ready to get this project off of my shoulders.

No fair. Teens get to have sex habits. And Im single and celibate. Not fair at all.
