So, we were supposed to leave for Portland today (we live in Bend, about 3 hours away) for the weekend. This was going to be our last weekend away before the kids come. Now, with all of the contractions I've been having I'm stuck at home. DH still has to go because his band is playing the next two nights and he committed to going so it would not be right for him not to go.
I feel so selfish but I am so sad I'm not going. All of our friends are going to be there and I was finally going to be able to do a bit of shopping for fun stuff for the babies (we have barely any shopping here). DH feels bad that I'm not going but does not understand why I am so upset.
I know I should just be thankful that I am pregnant and we have two healthy babies in there but I just can't get past it.
Vent over.
Re: I'm so sad and depressed!
you poor thing. i would be upset too. just be glad that you didn't start having the contractions while you were away and have to leave or get stuck in a hospital in Portland.
Reading your post makes me sad that I don't live in Vancouver, Wa anymore
?My cousins live in Bend and they say there isn't a lot to do there. Is there snow yet?
?I would be depressed too!

I'm so sorry, that would seriously bum me out too!

Say, if it makes you feel any better, my sister lives in Portland and she says the weather is atrocious there.
Yeah, same thing happened to me. Our college team was in the Final 4 (GO TIGERS!!) and DH was able to go to all the games and traveled to see them play.
I was so bummed and actually quite pissed. It was rough and I know exactly how you feel.
Thank you guys for making me feel better.
copwife-you are right, having contractions and getting stuck in Portland would have been a huge bummer.
raisingarizona-I love Bend, but I do miss Portland (that's where we were both born and raised). I count on going in there once a month or so to keep me sane! A girl needs some serious shopping now and then! Luckely we don't have any snow yet here, it's actually been in the 50s. Thank goodness or I would be really worrying about having to drive myself to the hospital.
Skatcat-Yes, I've heard it's been pretty rainy there (what's new)!
kylovsaj-I know I hate that DH is going to have all of the fun, and it's even worse that he'll be gone two nights!
