I am so close to never having anything to do with my brother in law ever again! He hasn't bothered to congratulate us on our pregnancy at all. Last pregnancy we told them in person ad he made a point of finding out who else knew - so he knew how many people we had told before him. We assumed it was so he wouldn't let the cat out of the bag but then he said to my husbands face about not telling him before my sisters?! This time we posted on facebook and tagged everyone so then no one knew before anyone else. He hasn't liked it or commented on it. He works with my husband and has spoken to him but not congratulated him. Hubby is clearly upset but never admits it so is in a cranky mood constantly. I hate conflict so as much as I want to say something, I just can't
This seems kind of petty and over the top to me. You want to cut BIL out because he didn't like your status anouncement on facebook? Sorry, but the reality is that no one is as excited about your baby as you and DH, not even your inlaws.

Yea I get how you can see it that way. I should have mentioned there is more of a back story. And I don't expect him to be over the top or as excited as we are but he can't manage a like on a status? Or even a passing comment to his own brother about it?

"You'll feel sooooooo much better in the 2nd tri"

How about I'm getting worse!!!! Nausea is out of control AND now I'm absolutely exhausted all the time again...

Yes! I have to agree with you! WTH hormones?! The headaches that are all day everyday are getting tiresome. It has kicked my nausea back. Can't keep anything down besides toast! Where is my relief second tri?!

My ex husband texted me saying that according to his insurance, I'm still listed as his spouse. We've been divorced for years. Now, he's got all my current info, like my address and whatnot. That was the one thing I didn't want to share with him but now he knows because of a mistake on someone's part. My husband and I have the same insurance so I logged into my account this morning and sure enough, I have 2 spouses listed. How is that even possible?! I think I have things figured out but I am pissed that my information was easily accessible to him when it shouldn't have been. I have been keeping my new address from him for a reason. Ugh! I want to know why there wasn't some sort of red flag when I got married this year. I also figured this was a good time to tell him about the pregnancy so he doesn't hear it from someone else. He's "happy" at the moment but I am waiting for him to go off the deep end.

Edited because I was a zombie when I typed this on my phone last night.

Today I felt like eating the spaghetti I brought for lunch at 10:30am but I held off until 11:45. It was a real struggle.

One of my coworkers is also expecting her first, she's only 6w6d and she's told everyone. She keeps insisting that she's showing and showing off her "bump". I just wanna smack her. Lol. Maybe I'm just jealous cause my pgal brain won't let me share yet (10w2d today, waiting till at least 13w to share) but she's driving me up the wall

Since when if facebook an appropriate place to announce a pregnancy to family? Maybe if you wanted to have him show special attention to your pregnancy you should have told him face to face?

It pisses me off that people that the notion that I'm not supposed to celebrate Christmas because I don't have kids. Last time I checked, it wasn't a "children's holiday" it was a Jesus holiday. And I'm pretty sure Jesus never said, "Only for the children."

Can we still do this on Tuesday? I have NOTHING TO WEAR. I've gotten pregnant at this time of year twice before, so every fall for the past 5 years it's been this cycle of:

year 1: I can't buy new clothes now, I'm going to be in maternity soon
year 2: I can't buy new clothes now, I'm still 15 pounds too heavy from baby weight

year 3: (repeat year 1)

year 4: (repeat year 2)

year 5: I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR IN THE FALL

Then again my summer/spring wardrobe is fabulous.
