Morgan, I second that. how on earth do you work with your MIL? Do you work closely beside her or just in the same company?
Katrina, Let me make a list of who we need to send gifts to and who wants to participate, then I will send a message out about how much the contribution could be, etc. I'm sorry that you're having a rough time. You WILL get your BFP and we will be here to support you along the way. I know how hard it is, and know that your bfp will be here soon. much love and hugs.
To whom ever asked about a relationshp with babydaddy (sorry, i forget!) We're going to try. I think. We have a long history that hasn't always been great, but the plan is to try. Now its trying to figure out logistics. I just signed a lease on my new house, so I will probably wait until my lease is up (july) to move into his house. We bought it together a few years ago, i picked it out, picked paint colors, furniture, etc, and LOVE IT. so I would love to live there again. And, I would like the baby to have just one nursery and one place to call home. He, really luckily and fortunately, is really well off financially and we've already discussed me possibly stopping working and staying home with the baby at least for a year, if we do make it work. Regardless of us being together, he plans to be 100% there for the baby. He has an almost 5 y.o from a previous relationship who he has 90% of the time (shes with her mom only one day a week) and I want the kiddos to have a close relationship and truly be raised as "siblings". We're leaving after work today for a weekend up at the vacation home. Its been treated as storage for a few years and I want to start getting it cleaned up (HELLO GARAGE SALE!) to make room for the baby, but also just get rid of stuff that hasn't been used in years.
he has been extremely supportive so far. he paid off my car today (halllleeelluujaah) because he didn't think I should be worried about a car payment while pregnant, and keeps asking if he can get me anything.
I had these grand ideas of telling him in a cute way this weekend if i was pregnant. His daugther LOOOVES arts and crafts, so I got a plain white shirt, and used stencils to write "im going to be a big sister" on it, then i was going to hide it from him and take herto do an art project in the kitchen while he was working in the garage. I was going to let her paint and decorate the shirt, ad then send her in to "help daddy" wearing the shirt. too late. oh well
sorry. that was a novel!
