So, things have calmed
down since we told everyone that we are pregnant! Luckily, MIL
has kept her distance, for now! She actually bought us a very nice
camping cot without complaining! Now the real story begins! DH's
sister is getting married next year in April, and we were going
to take her wedding photos. It's our hobby, and we are quite good
at it, even if I have to say so myself! That was the plan before
my very unplanned pregnancy! Being worried about me, DH confirmed
with our doctor whether I would be able to make the 5 hour drive
to the wedding location. The answer was, "No!" According
to him, it was too close to my delivery time, and that I would be
extremely uncomfortable! I'm also having a very BIG baby, so he
does not want me to take any chances! We went home and contacted
MIL, to tell her to come over, because we need to talk to her about
the photos! She came over and we explained all about the doctor's
appointment and that he feels we should not take the chance of me
driving that far. Obviously, no other mode of transportation would
work, either! This gave them fair warning to arrange for another
photographer, and informed them that we might not be able to attend
the wedding! As expected, MIL had a fit! How can we not attend
the wedding? Let me think about that. I did not get pregnant on
purpose, you know! Then, she said that SIL and her DF won't have
the money for a new photographer. What about the ten grand she
is giving them for "extras"? Then, she asked if I could
stay at home while DH attended. Uuhh, no! Luckily, DH told her
that she could go to he!!. He said that he will be with me every
day and night till our baby is born, and he will not attend his
sister's wedding if that means missing his first child's birth!
That shut her up! After that little confrontation, things got back
to normal for a while. Then, the whole Christmas thing came along!
We have always spent half the day with my family, and the other
half with the ILs! So, I made arrangements with my mom to be there
early Christmas Day to help with preparations for lunch. After
that, we will go to the IL's. Just for the record, my family has
had this lunch tradition for the last 4 generations! So, MIL phoned
DH to arrange a Christmas lunch at a very well known restaurant
with his sister, as she and her DF will make the 5 hour trip up
to our town! DH told her, "No, we can't make the lunch, as
we already have lunch plans. But, we will visit later the same
day!" She blew up at him and told him that he must just remember
that he also has a family! This from a woman who preferred to spend
Christmas with distant family, the first year of our married lives,
than with us! DH was very angry, and said that if they want to
see us on Christmas Day, they will have to come to our house, when
we are ready, and that we will not be going to MIL's house at all!
Oh, and just so you know, we would have had to pay for our own lunch
at the restaurant. MIL will only have enough money to pay for herself,
FIL, SIL and SIL's DF! I don't know if she noticed, but we are
having a baby, and we need to save up as much as we can before the
birth. So, no more luxuries for us! And, just why can't the SIL
and her DF pay for themselves? We will not be seeing them for Christmas
this year! I CAN'T WAIT. This is going to be the best Christmas
ever!!!! We will probably see them for New Year's, but that is
OK. I'm going to have a very relaxed Christmas! Thanks for letting
me get that of my chest!

My MIL is so cheap. She will offer to take us out to dinner for
helping her around her house or with other chores. She'll take
us to a nice restaurant, but every time we sit down, she will say,
"Remember, you have a $5 limit." What annoys me even
more is that she will tell ticket booth clerks that my children
are under 12, when they are in their late teens. Lady, we are trying
to set an honesty example for the teenagers!! DH just laughs.
He says that he flew on her lap as a toddler until he was age 12.
