ITS A BOY!!!

Just found out today at my 19 week ultrasound. Heartrate 155, and I'm really happy to find out the gender so we can start working out our name issues.
On another note:
So, my FOB's parents arnt very supportive of me being preggers, and actually kicked him out of the house when they found out. He's been living with my family ever since. Well, today we decided to try and test the waters and see what happened, and so we took a copy of the ultrasound picture to their house and left it in an envelope on their doorstep because we thought they would want to know. Well, we got a call later from them saying they still didnt want FOB or LO in their house and that they werent going to support them or our family emotionally. and now im really sad because I want them to be a part of LO's life because their his grandparents, and FOB is really sad now because he was really close to his family. Its like, We couldnt have a completely happy day, and they cant even open their hearts to their own grandkid.

Im really hoping they come around before April.

Woo boys are great!

Shame about his parents :/ My OH's mum pretends to care but she doesn't really, she was excited but like the novelty wore off and her true colours came out! I'm glad she still hasn't met him tbh, she doesn't deserve to know him after things she has said etc! I hope they come around though

Yeah. I used to be really close to his parents and now its just like they dont care at all. I also want them in his life for the sake of FOB... hes been really bummed out about the whole situation.

yayy congrats on the boy!!

I'm sorry about FOB's parents..

They sound like they are acting pretty immature about the situation. Clearly they didn't want you to have kids young but guess what, it's happening anyway! They should be there for their son and you, and I feel bad for your FOB

But try and encourage him that they clearly don't want anything to do with HIS SON, and it should be a sign for him that if they can abandon him now in a situation like this, they could have done it a lot worse down the road. Everything happens for a reason maybe he needed to see that his parents aren't really 100% there for him! Even though I know that doesn't make it any easier..

Once his son is born he won't even notice and he'll be bummed a lot less! and your LO is better off without people like that anyway!

Congratulations on your boy!

I'm sorry about OH's parents. I hope they come around, not just for LO's sake, but for yours and OH's too. Hopefully they will when they actually see your baby boy.

lizmageeful · Nov 29th, 2012, 22:19 PM

Yeah. I realize more and more every day how lucky I am to have OH in my life and wanting to be in his sons life, which makes it even worse that his parents dont want to be in his. I just really hope they come around.

Maybe they will when they see what great parents you two are!! I hope it's sooner though
