Due In May :)

Powell, I would be so mad. We have told close friends and immediate family, and I have requested that no one posts anything on facebook until I do! People can be so insensitive. Its still so fragile at the beginning, better to be safe than sorry! friend

Aw Powell. I'm sorry you have FB and in-law drama. It's so frustrating when people don't respect your wishes. honestly, I'm not FB friends with any of my in-laws because they're so thoughtless and insensitive with some of their posts. I have a love/hate relationship with FB. I have family all over the world so I love being able to keep on touch with them and see pictures of their kids, lives, etc. I absolutely HATE how fake people can be on FB and how people just don't think before they post things or tag you in stuff. Hubs and I decided that we're not doing the whole FB announcement thing. All the people we want to know our good news can be told in person or via phone or text. We're not even doing the whole big "having a baby announcement"... I'm just gonna show up to thanksgiving dinner at my in-laws' house with a belly. Lol. Yup... I have a great relationship with my in-laws... Can you tell?

Anyway, don't let it get you down! Just enjoy your pregnancy and push this petty crap to the side. You're having a baby! And that's the most important thing. It's you, DH and your little baby against the world so screw the people who disrespect you! Ok, I'm done now. *hugs*

wow thats pretty rediculous im so thankful I adore my inlaws and they would never do anything like that because I would flip out all you have to do is adjust your privacy settings so you approve every tag or anything posted on your wall by her thats what I do so people cant post fat pics of me hahahah. Seriously though what is your hubby saying because if she cant see that explain to everyone on your facebook if something goes wrong (heaven forbid) would be horrific than she has issues.

 

[Sass827]

Very smart advice Pink. I forgot about those settings.

I have those settings turned on, that's how I knew she posted the picture, because I had to approve it. It's not the first thing she's written, I have just deleted the others. But she keeps posting them lol I know she's gotta see the others disappear and clearly I haven't announced it on there so why would she feel it's okay to do it herself? Not sure lol A childhood friend of my hubs and his wife got pregnant a few months ago, and she lost it when she was farther along than I am. So for them to not understand why I wanna wait, is crazy to me. And the way that she acted by talking shit pretty much about me and my hubs, really pisses me off! She'll get over it, but will I? It's a respect thing to me and it seems like she doesn't respect my decision and that's the frustrating part.

Hubs papa died a few months ago and there's still some furniture over at their house that needs to be moved, as much as I'd like to go and see if there's anything that we want/need, I'm not going. I'm gonna let hubs go and he'll send me pics of anything up for grabs so I don't have to be around them. Hubs is on my side here and doesn't understand why she's acting the way she does. She be trippin' sometimes and we know this. Which is why I rewrote the message to her 3 or 4 times to make sure it wasn't offending her, just getting my point across. Which I thought I accomplished, apparently not lol but I don't care anymore. I'M the one that's pregnant, and WE will announce it when WE are ready. Anyone who doesn't respect that can suck it! lol

 

[Hann12]

Wow Powell that's awful! And I thought my mil could be bad!! I hope she chills out and that you get to announce it when you are good and ready! My mum and dad wanted to tell my dads brother and sister and got really annoyed when I said no but I don't want anyone knowing until 12 weeks. It's our news so I'm sticking to that!!

Powell - That sounds like my mother!! You shouldn't have to justify anything to anyone about when you are going to post stuff on facebook or why you don't want other people doing it yet! I just got into a discussion with my mom yesterday about a cute little announcement picture we are going to do on facebook.. and that she wanted me to warn her before we do it, so she can tell people... I am like no... I don't want you telling anyone (except for a few close family friends that I have approved), until I have made the announcement.

I say let her throw the pity party, because ultimately you have the upper hand... you have the grand baby.. she will come around, and if not, just ignore her.

Speaking of facebook settings, you can also turn off the ability for other people to post to your wall as well. Might be a good idea until you announce it.

Yeah I'm going to let her act the way she is and not worry about her. We will just continue not to go over there unless we pretty much have to, which is what we have been doing lately because my hubs is mad at my FIL. I am too but it's for a different reason. But this is just the icing on the cake. They are really nice people, just get too involved in things that aren't their business and they try to make it theirs.

I told my hubs that if they keep acting the way that they are that I don't care to be around them because I don't need the stress. He agrees completely.

How do I change that setting on FB? Sounds like that's what I need to do! lol

 

[Jary]

That's so insensitive Powell, I can't understand people who don't seem to comprehend that some news is private or should be announced by those with the news...that shouldn't be taken away from you!

I just had a phone call off the community midwife. She's coming to see me tomorrow! Didn't expect a visit for another couple of weeks yet! She sounds really nice too

 

[Powell130]

I know man! I didn't even say anything to them when they announced that they were going to be grandparents THE DAY WE TOLD THEM! We hadn't even told my side of the family yet, ugh. I just let that one slide. I mean shouldn't it be common sense that I haven't posted anything about it yet, so why should they?!

I talked to my hubs a few ago and said that his mom is being really stand-offish with him the whole time he's been over there. She needs to up her dose of meds or something, cuz she be trippin' lol

Powell you're right it's your news to share!
You can change settings on fb by clicking on home, private settings, how you connect tab and adjust there. Then you can also change pics you are tagged in through timeline and tagging also under privacy setting.

Nausea is now setting in hope its gets better in a month for our babymoon

[Jary]

I'm so excited! It means she'll probably arrange my scan date soon so I'll have that to look forward to. Can't wait to see my little one!

Excited to see your scans ladies! It'll be a nice little collection

 

[Sass827]

My MIL is a nightmare too. Luckily hubs has no desire to tell her until we know were all good at 13 weeks or so. She is super judgmental and overbearing. We can commiserate together over our terrible in laws til the LO's come.

 

[Hann12]

So exciting Jary about the mw visit! I am seeing mine on Weds and hoping to schedule my scan then too! Sickness has been worse today!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

im lucky i dont have the in-law hassle because OH wont let me tell anyone till after scan!

Nausea has been on and off all day but had to go to a christening, drove the car so i had an excuse not to drink until my brother started suggesting that i take the car home get a taxi back and have a drink! that boy is a bloomin pest!

 

[Jary]

My nausea hasn't been too bad today. The problem today was my throat that's irritated feels all awful and I keep wanting to gag

Have my gaviscon now tho so it's not so bad at the mo!

 

[prolifer]

I am so over this nausea already, make it stop lol We decided on a girl's name last night but now we have to think of a boy's name Kaala Raine

Will probably have another scan in 3 weeks or so, will be nearly 12 weeks -so cannot wait ^^

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Lovely name pro ! For a girl we have Emily or Lucy and for a boy we have James but I'm slowly but surely going off james, gonna but a baby name book my OH is murder when it comes to picking names! Xxx
