Tis the season

So, just like every year since the twins were born at least one kid has been sick through out the week. It usually ends up that one or all are sick on our anniversary, since it is the day after Christmas. I'm hoping that with them being sick now that it will all be out of their system.
My sister goes in to be induced tomorrow morning. This will be their seventh girl. She was scheduled to be induced on Fri, but her husband wouldn't have gotten home until that afternoon and was afraid he would miss the delivery.
He is EQ Pres, and just doesn't like to do anything that would be manual labor. He doesn't really like my kids, so I try not to be around them much. Pretty sad since I've known him most of my life and know how his parents were.
James keeps telling me to not let it get to me because I don't need the extra stress while I'm pregnant. But I feel that both my sister and her husband don't think that I have any business being pregnant. They act like I'm not pregnant and should be able to do all this heavy work. My sister really hurt me and I don't think she even gave it a second thought. We had been talking and she made the comment that we can't say that we weren't trying to get pregnant because we were bragging about it. Well first of all, we didn't brag that we were trying. Second, we thought we me having the PCOS and the fact that my periods were back to being speratic that I couldn't get pregnant. That was probably almost two months ago that she said that. Then about two weeks ago she was saying how she has big babies, and I said yes and I have runts. She said," no you have half a baby." That was such a hurtful thing to say. My babies may not weigh 8-9lbs like hers do, but they are fully developed with two arms, two legs and all their fingers and toes.
I have to get this out here, because I just don't feel that me saying anything to her would help. She has gotten to be such a careless person towards her family(I'm talking not her kids). She makes comments towards me that she wouldn't even think of saying to someone else. She acts like they are better than us and it just makes my heart ache.

Hugs Cheryl and try not to let your sisters stupid comments hurt you. You and James know how this baby blessing came about and that is all that matters. I would probably tell my sister to shove it if she acted like that towards me.

I'm sorry your sister is saying hurtful things, Cheryl. ((HUGS))

Cheryl I am so sorry your sis and BIL can be so hurtful. It seems to me that there is a little bit of jealousy on her part. I know I have a SIL that wishes she didn't have such big babies. And anyone on their 7th child has no right to judge someone getting pregnant again.

Hang in there and know that all your "sisters in Zion" support you.
