Had a nice big tearful break down last night.My poor DH and brother... On the agenda today: walk to the park and The Nutcracker. Plus I think my brother's birthday dinner (his birthday is tomorrow).
One positive, I got some really good sleep last night.![]()

OMFG now my MIL is posting directly to Cricket on my effing FB. I'm just the one having the f-ing baby, no big deal, who gives a s*** about me. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm getting so freaking pissed off. I'm about to start deleting posts off my FB or disabling my account. Orrrrrrrr saying something really *itchy on there.
On a more positive note Kostas had a lot of fun at the park even though we didn't stay too long because it was like 14 degrees...

I've never posted a single thing on Facebook and I'M SO GLAD! No stress at all! You won't have time for it soon anyway, so just don't let them get to you. OK?

I'm so sorry about your SIL and MIL posting directly to Kostas without addressing you. Even if they didn't think about how it would make you feel, that's still pretty insensitive. I love the picture of Kostas he is so cute! I hope today goes well and that you had a blast at the nutcracker last night!
I say unfriend and block them. If they say something tell them flat out that you wont readd them till they are able to show you a bit more respect. Another thing you can do is make it so they cant see your posts or your wall. That way you arent unfriending them, but you dont have to worry about their bs. Again, if they say something, let them know that you dont appreciate the way they say things on your wall, and so dont need to see anything till they can show you a bit more respect
Good grief. Do they not get FB?!*sigh*
That is so annoying! I never had to deal with that thank goodness but honestly I blocked a lot of family members at the beginning of my pregnancy because it made things so much easier. I sent them a message a day before I blocked them and explained why I was blocking them and then did it. I never read their reply's either, just blocked them. Once I got close to having the baby or had the baby I unblocked them and haven't had any issues since.

The Nutcracker was fun but not the best they have put on in the last couple years. It was nice to get out and do something though. It was especially funny because I ended up sitting by one of my midwives because her twin girls are best friends with my 12 y/o sister. LOL
You can tell DH and my brother aren't super stoked to be there... LOL. They were good sports though.
Tonight is my brother's birthday so we are having a big family dinner complete with my grandparents. It will be fun and yummy but I wish I was having a baby...
I'm kind of at a loss at what to do now... I'm not willing to do anything drastic at this point but I'm starting to feel like I'm not doing enough. I've started doing more reading on SpinningBabies. com to see if there might be a positioning issue but I don't think there is. Every time I have my appts Cricket is LOA. I just don't know what more to do.
That's smart. Unfortunately pretty much anything I did would make things worse with MIL and SIL. They just don't get it. They have absolutely horrible boundaries and treat me like a second class citizen (at best) in the family.
MIL even sent DH a message asking if I had gotten her message. WTF? I am really good about responding to her when she messages me or posts stuff. But I told DH up front that if she actually was talking to ME that I would have responded but she didn't so I just deleted it. *sigh* I'm really not asking much. Just to be treated like I actually exist...

You'll be in labor soon! I know how frustrating that is. ((hugs))
