Today is the day! *update*

Thankfully we have the nursery finished as far as the bedding/furniture and walls... Of course we will keep adding small things here and there if we find things to go with the nursery. Anyways, we have 3 different people spending the night (out of town family) for the party - my sister and her 2 kids, my best friend from college who lives in my hometown, and then a cousin who lives out of state! They should all be arriving around 4:30-5:30pm, the party is at 6:00pm. 

My BIL actually CALLED ME last night to see if he was invited to the party... Talk about awkward. I didn't know if my sister broke the news to him and he was pissed off or if he seriously didn't know. He word for word said, "Why are you trying to keep me from my son? I have a right to be with him on his birthday." I simply replied back, "_____ (BIL's name), we do not want to intentionally keep you from your son on his birthday... DH and I were not on the same page with inviting you. Frankly, after talking with my DH we do not feel comfortable with you in our home. You are more than welcome to drive down here tomorrow and we will be more than willing to meet you so you can spend some time with DS and DD at the park in town..." I don't want him to feel as though I'm the reason he cannot see his own child on his birthday, but I can't help but feel that I am the reason since DH and I don't feel comfortable with him in our home. He politely said he would call us and let us know if he could come down to see children and hung up on me. 

I surely hope my BIL does not think I handled the phone call rudely. I wanted him to understand DH and I did not agree with inviting him and after careful consideration I realized it was only best if he wasn't in our home.

    Yeah...  given his history, I wouldn't want to meet him at a park either.  Indoor bounce house, maybe.  What if he grabs the kid and tries to run?  How would you or DH try to stop him at a park?

    I'm hoping it all goes well wit

    Everything went as planned... BIL didn't call to meet with nephew. My sister is a little disappointed but she understands he isn't trustworthy.
