So, we told some of the family last night. It was SO obvious when I wasn't drinking or smoking. We actually left early last night because I was tired and plus they set up a few hookah bars where we were outside. Well, osme of the reactions we got were, "ohhhh...well, congrats." Gee, thanks.
Anyway, we went to tell my parents today before they found out because one of my big mouth cousins or something.
All I said was well, we have some news for you.. you have another grandbaby coming around March. My mom was shocked and my dad said he thinks it's too early. Um, it's been a year. Then he goes on to say that we better save up now because just in case something happens again. ( meaning funeral, which he had to help pay for last time. Sorry, I was out of work for awhile being on bedrest and all. My bad to inconvienece you eventhough you are basically a millionaire)
I am so hurt right now. I got up and told DH we are leaving and walked out. DH was mad but just said to calm down. I can't believe this. Why can't anyone ever be happy for us. This was basically the same reaction I got when I was pg with Mary. wth people? I am married, have our own place, never ask for money, and take care of my sshit.
I am just so sad. Do people not see how much this can hurt me? You all tell me not to stress but then pull this on me. I already have a fear that something can go wrong..I don't need this sshit.
The only thing that is making me happy today is knowing this little person is inside me and we are going to prove them all wrong. I took another test today since the digital went blank. That was one dark line. The test line came up before the control line!! lol! Oh, and Mags GREAT news.
Sorry, this is so long...I just had to get it out.
Re: I need a big hug right now...
I'm so sorry. That is a completely shitty reaction. I can't imagine how mad that must have made you. I am hurt and angry for you.
If you give me their address I'll bust some knees for you
Oh honey I am so sorry. Nobody should ever have a reaction like that to a new baby! Especially after all you guys have been through. ((hugs)) Some people just really don't know when to turn on their filter.
The only appropriate reaction to the news of a new child is "congrats". If you have other feelings, keep them to yourselves!!!
I'm over the moon excited for you if that helps! lol
I'm sorry sweetie. I'll come and throat punch all of them for you! I'm afraid people will tell us that it's too soon. We're not telling IRL people until after my first appointment, because we both have the fear that something will go wrong.
Thanks...I think we're due the same day.

now that would make my day. YES! Next weekend we are a little busy, but the following weekend after that? And bring the baby so I can give him kisses and a cute little gift.
(((hugs)))
I am so sorry that they did that to you. That is incredibly awful and hurtful and absolutely unnecessary! It would have not been uncalled for for you to punch them all square in the face.

I am pretty sure I am free that weekend. I will double check with DH and let you know!
Oh wow, that's horrible. They should absolutely be beyond excited for you. Heck, I don't know you and I'm ridiculously excited for you!
I'm sorry they are acting this way. That's not right.
(((((hugs)))))
People can suck sometimes!

I'm so very sorry....that was incredibly sh!tty of them. ::hugs::
I felt the same way when we were announcing we were pregnant this last m/c. EVERYONE & their mother commented that it was "really soon" after the last one. ugggghhhh.
Love you!

I'm very excited for you. And a big *hug* coming your way.
Pretty much ditto this. I haven't had a chance to tell you congratulations, so...Congratulations!!!!!
Ditto all the pps, MrsM. I've never even met you, and I am SO unbelievably happy and thrilled for you! Your family should be giving you nothing but joy, love, and support. Their response just baffles me.
Sending you big, squishy e-hugs.
