I hope James doesn't see this.
I'm really glad my side of the family is stoked about my pregnancy, because James's side don't really seem to give a toss. He just spoke to his mum on the phone for about 20 minutes. She asked him no end of questions about how he's doing, how his work is yadda yadda yadda ad infinitum and I thought she was going to get all the way through the call without mentioning me and the baby at all.
Almost.
Right at the end she asked how I was feeling, almost disinterestedly. I don't know if she was even listening to the reply. James wants to go there next weekend and it's going to be a strange contrast from being with my family recently who were all as pleased as punch and dead excited, to a couple who live and die in their own bubble of two.
I know different people think differently - and of course I'm going to be more excited than other people because I'm the person carrying this child - I just don't want to think that one lot of the child's grandparents couldn't give a fuck.
Maybe it's just my hormones.
dont worry about that love. everyone ha=s different rxn to babies. U just worry bout taking care of u and ur bunn. it all works out in the end! love ya Momma!

I agree with everyone that has comented earlier hon. Don´t worry about it, she/they´ll come around.A lot of ppl can´t grasp it at once either until it starts to show.
ReplyDeleteI´m really pleased for you though love<3<3!xxx
Thanks all. I'm sure when they actually see us things will be different. Well at least, I hope so :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure some people might think I might lose the baby yet, but I'm sure if they knew how much shit this baby is kicking out of me, they'd know it's a strong one! I have a gladiator in here :) x x x
Deffo concentrate on you and the baba. What Marina said is so true, a lot of people don't start to take it seriously almost until they see a scan or you start to show.. its different for a lot of different people. Then again some people are just selfish and if thats the case, they'll be the ones who miss out when youre holding your precious little bundle. Im sure they will be crazy about him/her when she makes an appearance.
ReplyDeleteLooking back I'm peeved at how much time I spent being sad at the lack of any interest from anyone I worked with and some in-laws in my pregnancy or health. Now they can all go to hell!
People like this are just insular and selfish.

Well said! We all know your workmates are a total bunch of bitchc*nts, and I hope they all get herpes (if they haven't all got it already!)
ReplyDeleteAnyone who doesn't care can go to hell. We'll see what happens when we see them in the flesh. Hopefully they'll be excited, but if not I'll just concentrate on my family who can't wait to be grandparents! There is of course the thought that they might feel too young to be grandparents! Stranger things have happened! x x x
