Welcome to the new ladies!
Babyhopes - It's super fun shopping for pretty dresses and frilly things. Just try mixing up the pink with a little purple. Sometimes my daughter's wardrobe looked like someone had barfed Peptol Bismol all over it. lol
I woke up this morning while turning from my right side to my left with a terrible shooting stabbing pain in my lower pelvis. I really really really want Baby A to move into a better position. Whenever this happens I fear the worst, like I broke them or something. Everything says they move around until around 32 weeks when they settle into a more permanent position. And yet.. do my babies switch from transverse? Noooooooo.. Silly babies. Don't they know they're hurting mommy?
So I have a weird dilemma.. needing advice: DD is having a birthday party for her friends on Sunday at a movie theatre. We invited and planned for 10 children. The RSVP's took a long time to come in and now instead of three weeks notice there is only from now until Sunday if we were to invite any child to replace the 3 cancellations we've had. We have to pay for a minimum of 8 for the party but only have a total of 7 confirmed including our daughter. We have three options. #1 try inviting another child by phone to fill the void, #2 don't bother and just pay for 8 even though only 7 come or #3 allow BIL to invite his ex-GF's son to come (BIL called yesterday, didn't understand why we hadn't invited the boy and insisted that if he could bring him he would pay for him). My daughter used to play with this boy who is like 10 months older before she started school (she only had two friends and was happy to have them) and when BIL was still dating the mother but the boy has problems sharing and takes hissy-fits and his mom is really bad at controlling him. But they used to be friends, he will be moving away to the other end of the city soon and the party is at a movie theatre so there is no chance to fight over toys and we would not accept any hissy-fitting.
#3 is the easiest option even though I think it's so weird the BIL is still trying to play daddy to this boy after breaking up with GF, #2 is acceptable in the sense it requires us to do nothing and the movie theatre party isn't too expensive in comparison to other options we looked at, #1 is the most awkward for us as parents to accomplish.
What do you think??
