Sorry about the brother and SIL Heather. Whatever their reaction, your perception is all that matters. so hugs to you
What I will say is that we can't change other people, we can only change ourselves. Whatever your SILs actions or disinterest, responding back to her with love is the road less travelled, but in the end so much more satisfying for you.
Being upset has caused you stress...Love your DH--the soon to be first time daddy. Love your unborn child. Love your Bro and SIL inspite of their shortcomings. Love Logan who in 9 mos. will have a playmate..
Thank you Jordan. I've really been thinking of
trying not to be a witch. It's hard to do right now, but I'll try!
I know, I'm trying not to be stressed. All of you are really helping, so thanks.
i did not read everyone elses comments so not sure if they said the same thing or not,
but when we told my parents and Sister and BIL about us being pregant,
they were all very excited, my sister did not act the way i thought she would, i think it was because she was afraid that it would take away everyone making a big deal about my nephew.
she eventually came around and was very excited and asked Candi so many questions about her labor and child birth, she had to have an emergency C section about 5 weeks early, and she never experienced the final month of her pregnacy, or child birth, i still think she gets a little jealous of all the attention that parker gets when the whole family is together, but, it is something that you can not control.
so i think that might be what your SIL is feeling, she is afraid that it is going to take away some of the spotlight that she is always getting with Logan.
dont let it get to you, she will come around, i was the same way with Candi, i did not let her do dishes the whole time she was pregant, i was worried that there was something on the dishes that she could get under he nails, and then ingest, and would get sick...she would get mad that i would not let her do them, but oh well, she never got sick so it was all good.
congrats again, and try not to let it get to you.
I'm sorry your sister acted that way. You just never know what's going on in someone's head, huh? But I'm just about over it, I haven't really seen her, so I don't know how she is now.
Thanks for sharing your story!
LOL okay. Well, I took a test, and the line was soooooo faint that I thought I was imagining it. Darren was sitting on the couch watching tv. I went up behind him and stuck the test in his face. "Do you see a line here??"
He took it and said, "I see a little line...What's that mean?" I told him not to assume or get his hopes up, that it MIGHT mean I'm pregnant. He was skeptical because it was so light. Then I made him pee on one and he got no line at all!!!
With the digital test I had to laugh at him. We were waiting for it to show up and I looked away and heard him say, "Pregnant!!! Man, it just comes right out and tells you huh." lol I told him that's what it's supposed to do.
With the parents, it worked out great. The day we found out, his mom called him to say she had a dream about us. She dreamt that someone was telling her she was going to be a grandma, and Darren said, "Sooner than you think." in the dream. He just acted like she was crazy when she told him the dream, because we weren't telling anyone yet.
So this weekend they came over to my parents house to eat and everyone was sitting in the living room talking. Darren said, "Mom, did you tell Heather's mom your dream?" She said no, and started telling it.
When she was done, Darren nodded and said, "Sooner than you think. For real." She and my mom just kept saying that we were lying, were we serious?? lol. Our dads were talking to each other, they didn't even hear at first!
Then they asked all the details and stuff. They were all happy. I hope I didn't confuse you with that haha.
Heather,
I am sorry that they were not more excited then you expected them to be.
I would not take it the wrong way yet. I dont know you and I knew soon you would be telling us you are expecting! You can tell just by all of your love for nephew. Hang in there dear...more mixed emotions to deal with in the months to come.
Thanks. That's crazy that you knew too! You're like the 4th person to tell me that!! lol. I guess we're that predictable. My cousin and Darren's grandma both said they could see it in my face.
I think I'm a little late but I am SO SORRY you had to deal with that MESS!
I was wondering the same thing...
Okay, here's my philosophy: Your sister was hoping to get pregnant before the end of the year, and now she feels like her pregnancy (especially being the 2nd) won't be as exciting because you are pregnant first. So now she's thinking about waiting til you have your baby so that she can get more attention when she finally gets pregnant again. KWIM?
I wouldn't worry about them, though. I also could be way off and they could have been having an argument in the middle of your call. Maybe they were arguing about when to try for a baby.
aww...honestly, that just must be "her way"....her way of congratulating you, even though she is having a hard time with it for whatever her reason may be.
Enjoy your pregancy!
Thanks Cheri. I've thought of all of those. It didn't take away the hurt at the time though! All I could think, is why isn't she happy for me? Like I was just telling someone, Darren and I have been together for almost 8 years, we decided it was time to add to our family. We won't put our life on hold just because it might make her upset.
Anyway, I hope she comes around. I'll forgive her.
Well, I'm about to find something to eat, I might try to get a beach update done today!
or 
it will still be wonderful
. I knew you wanted to try for a baby after your September trip but I didn't realize it would be this soon.
