Just got the phone call about SIL's 2nd baby shower...
Blehhhh...I'm terrible, I know, but I just DID NOT want to go. I had gotten tickets for dd to see an Elmo show next weekend and thought I'd be at the show w/her---but nope, they moved the time up.....so I guess I'm in charge of bringing the drinks now---pop, water, etc.
I feel so guilty that I don't want to be there, but I just don't. I have no desire to go get flooded w/a million questions about when we're planning to have another one, or why I haven't had another one, blah, blah, blah......and to make matters worse, my MIL is not hte type to help me out and defend me, even though she now knows we've been ttc for awhile....she's the type that will go right along w/the joking/teasing.......(for example, the other day she was feeling sick and she said, "Oh, oh, I know what it is! I'm pregnant! Wouldn't my boys just die!!! ::;and proceeds to giggle and laugh like a teenager)!!!!----------------and SHE KNOWS ABOUT MY LOSS AND THAT WE'VE BEEN TTC FOR MONTHS NOW!!!)
I soooooo dread this! Shewwww....that puts me in a raw mood now.....

I would have said something along the lines of "I'd rather slit my own throat with a poo encrusted knife"
But that's just me.
Who has a second baby shower for a baby of the same sex? That's just wrong.

Don't think so. The Elmo show is at 7p (I think, I need to double check the tickets)......and they moved the shower up to 2p....
I don't have her anything. Probably won't either. For one, she already has everything. She put my nephew in a twin bed so she could reuse the nursery furniture/bedding, and she kept all of his clothes---even though the seasons don't match up, I'm sure she'll get plenty........Plus, I think it would've been way more tactful to have a "diaper party" or a "meet the baby" shower after he was born. (Since she's already had a boy and already had a MASSIVE baby shower when she was ku w/him)......Second, just bc dh got awesome news and we're getting backpay, we don't have it yet. Probably won't for a weeks (paper processing, physicals, testing, etc). So I really don't have the $$ anyway.......
Would love to do this---but I'd be deemed the
for the rest of my life. Right after she found out she was ku, she went crying to her mom and aunts/family saying how awful I acted----(I know this bc she admitted to me that she did this and that they all sided w/her and thought I was being ridiculous bc miscarriages happen all the time and I should've been excited for her---)
Hmmm maybe I should give her a call.
That sucks though. Ok maybe you need to come down with an illness next weekend. 24 hour flu? An unexplained rash, a cough ... something that only lasts a very short time.
