Dearhel, sorry about your mom and sister's responce, that must not be nice. they will get used to the idea, and i pray that your sister will also have her baby soon.

BAngie, so sorry for your loss. my heart just broke reading your post. there can be nothing worse for a parent to loose a child. my heart will be with you at the funeral.
give your sister some time - it takes years to make peace with it and accept such a loss.
My brother died of cancer after a 7 year battle, i have such a big understanding of their situation and the emotions that goes with it.
lots of love and prayers for you all

Angie, so sorry for your loss. I honestly can't begin to imagine the pain you and your family are feeling. Thinking of you today

Mornign ladies...

My 18 month old niece died of cancer yesterday funeral is today, I've been at work since 5:30am, gotta submit February reports by today, hoping I'll be done by 9ish so I can go be with the family.

I'm so worried about my sister though... Losing a child has got to be the most painful thing ever but she is the type that always acts strong, she isn't expressing any emotions and says she has made peace with losing her daughter wish there was something I could do...

LoL!
Sounds like she'as not very fond of your inlaws

I do find it funny how some parents react to their children's pregnancies/children.

My mum for example is not at all excited by the new baby. She was hoping my sister would be pregnant by now. Wrong daughter again you know, seeing as I already have 2 kids...
My sister too is not speaking to me at all. (She's been TTC for 3 yrs now, been diagnosed with stage 2 endometrioses, had an op for it, and been on fertility pills for almost a year and still no baby....)

They'll get over it eventually.

DF's mum is excited as can be tho. It's her second grandchild DF's sister's little boy is 9 now. So that side of the family at least is happy and excited.

I'm just enjoying the pregnancy, and as it's df's 1st child I'm loving how amazed he is at it all.

Daerhel I'm relieved to hear all is well!

She has a granddaughter and a grandson.... she is besotted with both of them, so no idea why she is anti another boy now. lol.

You know what it is....she hates the idea of a boy carrying on the family name, being my husband's/mil's....lol. She loves my husband, but she is always coaching my kids to say their surname is my maiden surname (her surname). She's crazy!

Hi Ladies,

I'm feeling much better today. Had a nice long bubble bath last night, and went straight to bed. For once I actually managed to sleep all night without having to get up to pee!

Thanks everyone for your advice, and for caring.
I haven't had much cramping at all, so it was just strange to me. I've chalked it down to stress.
When the manager's came in this morning with nonsense, I asked them very nicely to leave me alone, and closed my office door! No one has bothered me since, and I'm feeling great! Actually managing to get work done without a hitch.

@Simone, LOL at your mom's reaction! Sound's like she really wants a granddaughter! Sure she'll get used to the idea. Tho she'll probably keep hoping until baby is actually born.

Hallo ladies,

16 weeks today

glad it went well Simone. ag shame, she needs a while to get used to the idea
