I am so, so incredibly
grateful that so many of you understood how I was feeling with my last post about my stepbrother's
gf and the "oops" pregnancy. I got to talk to my mom
a lot and I learned that my mom has known for a couple of weeks but my stepbrother, T, didn't want anyone to know until after her first u/s (freaking fantastic). So, my mom got the call from T that all was well (of course it is, because that's how it always seems to work for "oops" babies) and my mom immediately emailed me and said could we talk. I know that it was terrible timing on her part, but she wanted me to learn about it from her. I appreciated that. I can't imagine how betrayed I would have felt if she hadn't told me.
Anyway, no I am not planning on going to the wedding. For one, we were already planning on going away that weekend and it's also five days before the EDD from loss #1 (hell, I should have an almost one year old by now). No, thanks.
Mr SC and I went to
Washin.
gton, DC again this weekend. We got there on Sunday and enjoyed the gorgeous 75 degree weather, went shopping and checked out the
Whi.
te House (we both had never been there). And then we went to see the Col.ts kick some
Redski.
ns as*.
I proudly wore my Colt.s gear (although I was a bit nervous) and Mr SC was decked out in the
burgundy and gold.
Mai, I took a bunch of other pics of
Pey.ton
Mannin.g if you want to see them. :)
Your weekend sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your Mom's heart was in the right place which is sweet. Timing sucks and is totally not fair. I hate that other people get to have oops babies and we try so effing hard! UGH!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you already had plans and aren't going to the wedding.
I'm glad your mom told you, even though the timing was terrible. You needed to know, and it's better than finding out in some other way.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am so glad that, despite everything, you had a great weekend. :)
Do you know how JEALOUS I am right now?!? Of course I want to see Mr. Manning..And IDK if I commented on the ol "oops" baby..But GD, how does that happen!? I'd love to know. And I'm glad you have plans for the weekend of the wedding. And I'm glad you got to get away..even though I am, as previously mentioned, insanely jealous!!
ReplyDeleteI once rode an elevator in Louisville with both Peyton and Eli - my claim to fame. Ha.
ReplyDelete"Ooops" baby news is the worst. Well, it's right up there with "first month trying" babies. Boo.
I'm so sorry to hear about the "oops" news, and good for you for not going to the wedding. It is always nice when there are other plans that get in the way of things like that. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteYes about oops babies going off without a hitch. It was lousy timing but good of your mom to let you know. But, still, it was lousy timing:(
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good time in DC.
Sounds like a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, it always seems like when people have oops babies there's just no question -- OF COURSE there will be a baby in the end. When you're trying and trying? Yeah, no such luck.
I'm glad your mom told you and I'm really glad you two have decided not to go to the wedding.
ReplyDeleteJealous you got to go to the Colts game!!! I loooove the colts, yea Horse!!
Sounds like a very nice weekend. I'm glad your Mom told you, I'm sorry about the terrible timing.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've made a decision not to go to the wedding. And I'm glad you had a good weekend and enjoyed the football game! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you talked to your mom - sounds like she was trying to be sensitive, but it's hard no matter what.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great weekend - so happy for that!
I thought about you when I watched the game :) Yay for a Colts victory!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, looks like you had good seats, too! And a nice weekend. I can't imagine how hard it would be to go to that wedding. I'm glad you have the excuse of previously-made plans.
ReplyDeleteOoops babies are always hard to hear about. Horrible timing!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to getaway for a nice weekend.
Hang in there,
Patricia
