Now you're going to make me start crying all over again!! Thank you.

With your pg hormones it's not going to take much for tears.

I'm sorry about their reaction. Focus on the people who are showing their excitment. And focus on yourself and your own happiness!

 

[ckret01]

I am so sorry you are feeling this way...it is a lousy feeling . I may think there is some sort of jealousy that you are pregant now and that is why she is reacting to your happy news the way she is. It does hurt when you are always there for someone and show excitement towards their feelings when they tell you good news and when the tables are turned and they act completely like they don't care for you...just stinks. I have been there in other situations almost like this and I can tell you I have reacted the same way you are. You are not wrong to feel the way you are AT ALL!

Hopefully she will come around in the next few days and show a little more support to you. And like Darren said ...this is your time...enjoy every moment of it and don't let others that are jealous or whatever bring you down....You are Pregnant girlie and that is such wonderful news Yeeeeahhhh. I wish I knew you so I could give you a great big hug and tell you congratulations

I'm so sorry about everything Heather. But really, now isn't a tim to be saying, "I'm so sorry.' It's a time of celebration! You're having a baby!!! Don't let anything get you down, although it may be hard. I know exactly what you mean about your brother and SIL. We have a specific set of family members who we're always there for when it comes to their celebrations, parties and everyone, and we're always so happy for them whenever something good comes their way, and then as soon s something comes up for us we don't hear from them and they're too busy to show up Just don't let it get to you. Between you and Darren, your parents, sister and the rest of your family and friends that baby will be loved And although they may not seemed thrilled now, I'm sure your bro and SIL will come around and the baby and Logan will be best friends

 

[jacobsmom00]

aawww heather, I am so sorry you are feeling like this. Don't let it get to you. This is a happy time for you guys. I am soooo happy for you! you will make the best mommy!

 

[KatInHat]

Heather, You are not wrong for being upset about your DB and SIL's reaction to your wonderful news. I would be upset too. I think it just may take time but they will come around. You just never know what they are thinking. I have been in a similar situation when I announced I was pregnant with my 2nd ds.
She may be thinking that Logan will not get all of the attention from you after you have your own baby. It may take her some time to realize that Logan will not be loved any less. Or maybe it's about her and being jealous of you being in the spotlight now. I don't know ..Either way SHAME ON THEM !! If they continued to act this way I would ask them what's bothering them and that they are hurting your feelings. It's a very special time for you and Darren and you should try to focus on the people who are excited for you. Keep us updated.

Thank you SO much everyone!
I do feel a little better now, although I hardly slept at all. Every night I've been waking up at least every two hours. I guess I'm getting in practice huh??

Anyway, I probably overreacted and I'll just see what they have to say today. It was just really big news for us and I just wasn't expecting that.

Last night after going to bed, Darren woke up. He talked to me and really made me feel better. We talked about how all of you are so excited for us and our mom's.
After we told them, my daddy said I'm just going to be all butt and belly and he got up and walked like he thinks I'm going to walk. And he was rocking Logan and said "I have another arm for one more." So that really made me feel good. I didn't know how he'd feel about it but he seems happy. He and my FIL said I need to gain weight though. If only they knew that it was coming! LOL.

So thank you all so much again, I'm really happy that you're all so supportive. It means alot to me!

 

[team weasel]

I'm glad you feel better Heather.

PS...now you have to keep this thread going for at least 8 more months so that we can see you through your pregnancy!

 

[SingingMom]

Heather - people have all different ways of reacting to news. Some good, some not so good, some down right rude. Who knows what was going on in your SIL's head.... jealousy comes to mind. Possibly wanting another, possibly worrying that Logan will have to share attention, possibly worrying that she won't have as much attention/help. It's also hard to give that type of news over the telephone. You might have interrupted an argument or something!

Whatever - the important thing is you and Darren and your new little one. Keep a positive, happy attitude, take good care of yourself, and surround yourselves with people who also are positive and happy.

God bless!

 

[UGAFan0829]

OMGosh! Heather, that is WONDERFUL news! I agree with everyone else who has said that you and Darren are going to be wonderful parents. It's obvious how in love you are with little Logan, so I know that the little one will be loved more than it can imagine! Congrats again, and thanks for sharing the news with us!

Thank you. I'll definitely keep everyone informed! As long as y'all are interested, I'm posting.

I understand. My brother has called me three times today. I know he isn't the type to show excitement so his reaction was normal. He was even calm when he told us they were having a baby. Still haven't heard from SIL personally, she just left a stack of pregnancy books by my garage with a note saying congrats. That's better than nothing I guess!

Thank you!

[AussieAngel]

Yayyyyyy, Heather and Darren!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

That is very exciting news!! Thanks for telling us all!!!!

Your baby will be such a gorgeous little thing!!!

 

[the4princesses]

I'm really upset right now. I'm trying not to be, but I can't help it. We told our parents tonight and they're all excited for us. Then I called my sister on the phone since she was out and she was so happy, she couldn't believe it.
Then I called my brother and SIL and told them. They acted like I just told them I ate chicken for dinner or something as equally exciting. My brother hardly shows his excitement about things, but I expected more from my SIL.
I mean, there was no trace of a smile in her voice or ANYTHING. She was just like, "Congratulations, I'm happy for y'all. I told Joe I figured you were pregnant. You want to talk back to him?" Completely monotone.

I don't know if it's hormones or what, but I've been crying ever since. When they told us they were pregnant with Logan I was so happy for them. I gave them hugs and asked details and wanted to go to the ultrasounds. It just seems like they don't care at all. Would it have hurt to show a little enthusiasm? I love Logan like he's my own son, I guess I won't be getting that treatment back. I'm just so hurt that I can't even be excited right nGONow. I thought it would be a happy occasion and that I'd be crying happy tears, but I'm not. I just want my baby to be loved too. I'm sorry for venting. Darren told me not to worry about them and that this is our time and if they don't like it, oh well. They got all the attention with Logan and I didn't act like a jerk to them. I can't even sleep. I'm so tired. I don't even know why I'm telNling all of you this. I'm sorry. You think I'm wrong to be upset?

[racefanof88]

Girl don't let her steal your thunder and excitement. She may be scared that Logan will lose some of the attention from your family when you have your baby. Natural response, totally unfounded I am sure. As a neonatal nurse I encounter these type reactions all the time. Hopefully she will get with the program and realize that you are not having a baby to take Logan's place in the family, just to add to the enjoyment of having a big family.

 

[DISNEYmooner2008]

I saw your post in the mommies to be thread and I had to pop over and sub to your TR/Baby update Take it from a fellow newlywed/pregnant 1st time mommy to be - those hormones are COMPLETELY normal girl!!! I am so happy for you!!!

 

[lmillercrew]

So nice that you have a great husband who you can talk to and who understands you. The only people that truly matter are you, Darren and that little baby you are carrying. Your mom and dad are excited to be gramma and grandpa that's important. Your SIL can get over herself. You be the best aunt to Logan that you can be and the rest is on her shoulders. I know it's hard not to be emotional at this time, but this too shall pass. Take care of YOURself!

 

[TrueEeyore]

Glad you are feeling better. I hope you keep us updated for the next 8 months! Can't wait to see the 'Baby Bump!"

Thank you! I'll definitely keep everyone updated. I'll start posting baby bump pictures after I go to the doctor.

Yayyyyyy, Heather and Darren!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Thank you! I'm glad you joined in. I hope my SIL will come around, and if not... My baby won't be loved any less from us, and that's all that matters in the long run.

I figure she's worried about Logan's attention since he's had it all to himself for over a year. Did she think I was never going to get pregnant? Who knows. I think she's going to come up pregnant VERY soon now. Just a hunch I have!

I agree about not taking Logan's place. It just isn't possible. I know I won't love him any less. It's like parents, I don't love either one more than the other. People are equipped to handle all types of love and one doesn't rule out the other, you know?
After all I did for her though, it just seems so cold the way she acted.

Thanks!! I know, I'm prepared to be all emotional. The other night a roach was dying from the exterminator and I made Darren go get it up. I almost cried because it was laying there suffering. A roach!! I hate roaches!

So nice that you have a great husband who you can talk to and who understands you. The only people that truly matter are you, Darren and that little baby you are carrying.

I know, my husband is the best! I woke up this morning and ate and then I got tired again so I took a nap. When I woke up he had washed all of the dishes (by hand!!), dried them, and put them away. And it was a sinkful! I thought that was so sweet! I feel very lucky.
He's been so nervous about me doing anything lol. Don't pick that up, don't do that, don't slip in the shower. It's so cute.

My parents are excited. My dad is telling all of his friends lol. He keeps on saying I'm having twins!!

It's funny that you say 'this too shall pass'. That's been my motto for months now. When something I happens I find myself saying that in my head. It's very reassuring.
Thank you!
