That is selfish!  I wish I knew someone due around the same time as me...

ETA:  That lives within 25 minutes of me.

Wow... That is CRAZY! Makes me glad I don't have a sister!

OMG...sounds like my SIL...her son (my nephew) will be 1 March 23...my DD is Feb 22...she said to me, "i'm so upset...your baby is going to take all the attention off Braydens 1st Birthday!"  Honestly...she is just jealous her kids arent going to be the only grandkids anymore!! uugghh

At least she's talking to you, my SIL is 5 or 6 wks behind me, and she could careless about anything other than herself. Prime example on vacation this year she said that my family hates her. When my family not only paid for their wedding, vacations and gives them money all the time, just because. We haven't spoke to each other for 3 weeks, I'm just glad it's not my husbands family, so it doesn't bother me. That's something my brother has to deal with.

My sister and I are due on the same day. We are both excited about having them together. We had a really good relationship with our cousin growing up and we were all a year apart. But this is my sister's 2nd so she's ok with my baby stealing the attention because it's my first. She had LOTS of attention with her first.

That's insane though. I'd have a hard time talking to my sister after that. And I'm glad I don't have to throw the shower for her. Did you volunteer? If not, I'd say no.

How selfish!  With DS1 I was due 2 months after 1 SIL (with her second) and 2 weeks before another SIL (with her third).  My BFF was also due 6 weeks after me (also with her second).  I was so thrilled to have friends and family going through the pg with me and it is great now that Nicholas has cousins and friends that are so close in age they are great playmates.  I am the only one pg this time and it's kind of lonely not to have someone to comiserate symptoms with.

wow. I really hope that's the hormone's talking and your sister isn't normally that big of a brat!  My sister in law is due about 10 weeks before me and we're both happy, not just to be pregnant together but that the cousin's will be so close!  Maybe she hasn't really thought about the important stuff.

wow. That is extremely bratty. I wish my cousin (who is more like a sister) could get pregnant. I would love if we were pregnant together. They are having a hard time TTC and it breaks my heart.

Wow! That's reallly awful. My baby is due on my sister's baby's first birthday and she is so excited that they are going to be close together (even though only a year). She is hoping that they'll have the same birthday so that we can have combined parties. I can't imagine my sister acting like that.

That is weird! My sister is due 7 weeks after me. I am excited to go through this with her, and to give her advice and help her out along the way. And even more excited that my LO will have someone almost exactly her age to play and hang out with.

Give your sister some prunes or something that will keep her regular. Chalk it up to hormones or her inability to have a bowel movement.

Oh, don't do her baby shower. Show up of course, but don't give her a shower. There is no reason for her to treat you that way.

Wow....wow....

I don't think I'd be willing to throw the baby shower after that horrible comment....

I'm a little too snarky in my mind though and would consider  saying somethin along the lines of 'Sorry that I'm having a wonderful little baby and that you and I both had sex within the same 2months...I guess since you feel this way I will step down as hostess of the baby shower.'
