Tell me it's not my fault.

So, we'd been trying to get pg for a few months and we knew DH's dad was going to get married this spring. We love his Dad and the "step-mom" who we've felt like she's family for years. But, they got married this weekend in Hawaii, and of course, because I'm so late in the 3rd tri, I couldn't fly out there. Because of $$, it seemed like a huge expense for DH to fly to Hawaii and stay in a hotel there. (Times are hard enough as it is and we don't know what we're going to do about daycare...) But we just got e-mailed the pics of the wedding. It was very small. FIL and the new wife and two of their friends. We were going to go before we knew we were pg -- would have been our vacation for the year too. But, since I was pg, we couldn't go. So, now DH called me in tears because he feels so bad we missed the wedding. He and his dad are really close, although his dad's much less emotional, it was awesome to see his dad with this big grin on his face in the pictures.

So, they're having a back home reception in Chicago, (we live in California) which DH now wants to go to, which I understand. He might bring our 2 y.o. with him to IL.  I might go with, although it overlaps by one day the time my mom is coming out to see the baby, who, hopefully, will be born by then.

 Just tell me it isn't my fault DH missed his Dad's wedding.  We both feel bad we weren't able to make it, but what was I supposed to do?

    It was NOT your fault, get that silly thought out of your head. If he wants to go to the reception, let him, as long as it doesn't interfere w/ the baby coming.

    It's totally not your fault.  You're pregnant and that would have been a hard trip, even if money wasn't an issue.  Have DH go to the reception, and maybe you can convince the happy couple to renew their vows in 5 years in Hawaii, and make a trip out of it then.

    I am sure DH's dad is understanding of the situation since he is getting a grandchild out of it!  I know you feel bad but it is no one's fault!
