so much to do!

I've had so much to do these past few weeks!  Work is keeping me really busy!  I've been getting home so late and have had things to do after work.

There has also been some family drama that I've been dealing with.  Mostly MIL related.  She needs things to do in her life, and right now stirring up non-existent issues is what is filling that void.  It doesn't help that she gets so drunk that she treats people like shit, and explodes yelling at people for ridiculous things.  For example, last weekend, I was accused of, "Ripping apart the family and destroying BIL's life" because I made plans for my husband's birthday that fall on the same weekend as BIL's pregnant sort-of-ex GF's baby shower.  Now, I didn't know about this shower, nor have I been invited to it.  I wouldn't want to go anyway because I don't like her, plus she lives over 5 hours away from where I live.  And then there's the fact that I haven't been invited!

In other news, I'm feeling baby kicking lots!  Especially when I wear tighter pants or am leaning in a way that puts more pressure on my abdomen.  I really enjoyed the anatomy scan yesterday.  We had the same tech who did the NT scan, and I really like her.  Everything looks perfect with the baby and she's still a girl!  She seems stubborn already (taking after her mom and dad!) and is very active in there.  I can't wait for B to feel her from the outside.  He's gotten to putting his hands on my belly all the time, which I think is so cute.  I always wondered how he would be, especially since we had to go with DS that he was so against before.  He is really embracing this.

Here is a picture from yesterday's scan!

    She is beautiful, Emmy! And I'm so glad that B is getting excited--I also wondered how he would be as things progressed but it sounds like he is already in love with his little girl! I'm so happy for you two.

    And screw MIL and her issues. You didn't even know about the shower, so obviously you didn't do it on purpose, she can get over herself.

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
