I just got back from my moms. I think my MIL and BIL are coming over later to mow. Other then that not much I think going on here unless DH has something planned.
I don't want to take over another randoms thread with family crap, but I just need to vent.
So like I mentioned above, my shower ended up getting scheduled for July 17, which is the weekend before my cousin's July 23rd wedding. I told her about an hour ago and she's practically acting like it's the end of the world that it's the weekend before. Including a very passive aggressive "I give up. I am just giving up caring." FB status for which the timing is way too coincidental to not be about me.
Ideal timing? Maybe not. But when else did she think it was going to be? June was too soon, August is too close for comfort to EDD since I'm due early Sept, and every other weekend in July is either a wedding related event for her or didn't work for key people (MIL and BFF).
I know I really shouldn't be letting her get to me, but I'm pissed and seriously upset that I can do so much for someone and this is how they act in return.
I guess I don't see what the big deal is for it to be the weekend before her wedding. Is she planning it or just attending?

LadyNymeria she's crazy. Like theophania said... You can't be expected to give up the entire month of July because she's getting married. You enjoy your shower and don't let her passive aggressive comments get to you.
I'm sorry LadyNymeria. I don't think she has any reason to be mad or act the way she did. I hope you pass your test theophania! I had to do the 3 hour test yuck but I did pass.

Just attending. The hosts (mom & BFF) have no intention of asking her to help with anything.

So we had a team-building event today - we got to drive 2 Porsches on a closed course, it was really fun and just... strange. Definitely not my Subaru, lol.

Im sorry dealing with that sucks. I have the same issue with my inlaws. They have a family wedding at the end of july and MIL got annoyed when I said I didn't want a shower in August because it was to close to when I was getting my stitch out and could have the baby. So I understand. I hope she calms down and things go smoothly for you.

Ugh, I'm sorry you're dealing with this crap too! Definitely can't do a shower too close to getting your stitch out since I'm sure baby could decide to come basically any time after getting it removed. I hope things end up going ok for you as well.

That's the exact point I was trying to make, the date they suggested was August 13 guess what guys my stitch is coming out anytime between aug15-27th or right around there doctor said 36/37 weeks depending on how baby develops. So I suggested doing it the beginning of July since the wedding is the end of July, I figured that would leave enough time between. Nope, MIL started pitching a mini fit and trying to lay on the guilt. I haven't heard a thing about a shower since.

Opposite end of July makes so much sense! And would be plenty early enough compared to both the wedding and your stitch being removed.

theophania good luck with the 3hr and yay for 3rd tri!!
LadyNymeria oh jeez. I was gonna ask if you'd brought it up to her when you mentioned the date today. Like PPs said, she doesn't get the whole fucking month, she needs to get over herself. Huge eyeroll to the passive aggressive FB post, I hate that shit. Ignore her, if she bitches to people about it, she'll look like the asshole not you.
That's awful LadyNymeria. It's the weekend before, not the same weekend, not the night before. I don't see how that's a problem. Hope you're not planning on getting her an expensive wedding gift lol.
Great! No early signs of pre-eclampsia and baby is growing on average. The blood flow is nice and normal. He measures like 2 days ahead. Going back at at 32 weeks for another ultrasound.
lovetruly2015 is your MIL the one throwing your shower? That totally sucks that your needs and what makes sense for you and the baby aren't even being considered.

I have an FFFC today, brought to you by our visit to my inlaws this past weekend: I usually take a TETO approach to other people's parenting choices (except for child passenger safety, I judge hard on that), but I totally judge DH's bro and his wife. They feed their kids absolute crap on the regular, candy is given at every request, constant sugary drinks (when the 4yr old was 1 he drank soda pop), I've seen them drink water maybe a handful of times in the 4yrs I've been around, they play 1st person shooter video games and the 7yr old has major anxiety and they've done nothing about it, besides saying, he has anxiety. This is just the tip of the iceberg. To be clear, I dont think kids should never be allowed sweets/treats but they have it in excess. It's so hard to watch when I'm there. I feel like an asshole, but then again I don't.
OMG someone on my Facebook feed just wrote as a status "it's o day". Someone commented "we know what is going to happen tonight!". WTF! She's been taking about getting ready to have a baby recently....
