had some bad news today my MIL told me she had breast cancer. she seems to be ok but I cried like a baby felt kinda bad cuz she wasn't upset and is positive that everything is going to be ok. I pray that she will be ok, I'm very close to my MIL almost closer to her than my own mother, sad to say but its true. Work has also been very stressful these last few days df is worried that my stess level could be very bad for the baby. I'm trying not to get to stressed for that reason I don't want to lose this baby and I'm scared that if I don't relax more at work I might stess myself into a mc. I don't want to use the pg card at work but I feel like I might have to just so I can get some more help. I work with mostly women so you'd think that they would help me out more or at least be sympathetic to my situation as most of them know I'm pg already. Is it jan yet? I can't wait to not have to think about that place for a year.

I told my parents 2 weeks ago that I was pg and they didn't seem to happy for me. I was a smoker before I got pg and I haven't had a smoke since a few weeks before I found out I was pg. Instead of my mom just saying congrats to me and my df she told me that I should stop drinking and smoking cuz its not good for the baby. according to her I have a drinking problem and if she really knew me she would know that I don't drink at all very rare all of my friends know that. she also went on to say that we have to save our pennies cuz babys are $$ (coming from an immigrant who came to this country with nothing and raised 2 babies and we turned out fine) and that my df has to start taking care of me now that I'm pg (like he hasn't for the last almost 10years). I couldn't believe what I was hearing she went on to say a bunch of the other stuff but I tuned her out at that point. my dad was also in the room but he didn't say much. in the end she told me that I'm always going to be her daughter and I'm always welcomed in their home, whatever that is supposed to mean. I love my parents but sometimes i can't understand why they talk to me like I'm stupid. I wish they had a little more faith in me. sorry ladies I'm having an emotional week can you tell?

hope everone else is having a better week then me

So sorry to hear about your MIL. I'm saying prayers for your family. You need to really figure out a way to de-stress! Everything going on around you is not in your control...you can't make your parents have a different reaction and you can't change what's happened to your MIL but you CAN put it all in God's hands and just have faith that he'll get you through all of this. Your parents will see soon enough that you are doing what's best for your baby by not doing those things and they'll come around. Just keep doing your thing and they'll eventually see that you are very capable of this and being a great mother. Hang in there. We're here for you!

 

[skweek35]

Sandy - so sorry you are going through such a tough time! Pray that you and your DF's family will come out this trying time stronger and closer than ever!
Sorry to hear that your parents are so critical of you. I have some idea of how that feels so can sympathise with you on that one! Rant way all you need. We are here to support each other.

thanks guys, you ladies are so wonderful I feel better today. one more day of work and then off for the weekend and today after work I went for a much needed haircut so I feel like I had a mini makeover. ms is getting better or at least I have better days then bad. I only seem to get ms at night now instead of all day. tomorrow I'll be 10 wks and 21 more days till I finally get to see this baby. I can't wait for my u/s the count down is on.

Sandy, your family is in my thoughts and prayers!

So Sorry Sandy Will be praying for you and your family.
I am all too familiar with family/parents and diseases. I mom has numerous autoimmune disease with scleroderma being the worst one. She has systemic scleroderma which is hardening if the skin and organs. She is 49 years young and is completely disabled now because of the disease - it's hard to live with. So I can feel your pain

Getting excited ... We are telling my family tomorrow about our cooking bean (our parents already know and DH and his family do NOT get along so not telling his fam at the moment ... They are truly horrific to us).

Thanks. I am hoping he will want to tell them soon as we have a lot of mutual acquaintances. It's funny, his mom sent us an email yesterday, accidentally, that had a conversation with his sister on it where his sister and mom bad mouth us. It took a lot of the excitement out of telling my fam and it just really got me down.

Ok girls...so hubby and I are headed to Jamaica for vacation for a week! I'm really excited but a tiny part of me in the back of my head is very nervous for results this cycle as we're already in the 2ww. I should find out on the trip if we are pregnant or not...maybe...i'm scheduled to get my period on or about the 10th...we get back on the 11th. So I won't be temping or charting at all while we're gone so I think this month will just be a surprise either way. I know I'll be thinking about it a little but I'm going to try not to stress and just enjoy this vacation and maybe luck is in our favor this time. Pray for us/wish us luck, whatever it takes. I will check back in when we return and see how all of you ladies are doing and give you an update on me! to all!!!
