my husband is taking the kids for the WHOLE day on Sunday to his brothers house. I don't really get along with his brother and his wife. I smile and am nice but really we are as opposite as people can get. They are very much the suburban couple who have to keep up with thier neighbours and drive me crazy. His wife is the biggest drama queen I've ever met and she is finally pregnant too (we are a week apart in dates) however I cannot stand to hear all the extra drama she brings to pregancy. They were having fertility trouble for the last few years and with each of my preganancies I had to tread lightly to avoid her crying and so on, I was always made to feel guilty for our good fortune. Even with this baby I'm having she told people I was "stealing her thunder" away from her and her baby. Mine was unplanned and how was I to know that at the same time it would finally work out for them? I'm positive that this whole drive for them to have a baby is just because that is what they feel like all their friends are doing and now that they bought the huge ass , overpriced cookie cutter suburban house..it was the "next thing" for them to do. They are in for a shock of what having a new baby is all about. She is focused on the look of the baby's room and less about the realities of being a new mother. oh well...they 'll see .
Anyway I could rant on and on about them, but the end result is they wanted to see the kids, and I wanted time alone...so there it is. This Sunday we all get our wish!
