Our baby is magic..
Our child should have it's own magic show, for this is what we were greeted with at my U/S on the 25th:
That's right ladies and gents, it's a BOY! We're thrilled either way, as long as he is healthy we don't care the gender!
Now, for two vents:
1.) I don't want to invite people to my baby shower that I've never even met
I sent Ryan's mom an e-mail asking for some addresses for my sister and mom, who are planning the shower. His mom asked if I wanted to also include 'Auntie and her daughters'. Now, let me first say, I am in no way upset/angry/whatever at his mom. She's a wonderful woman and is only trying to help. The reason I am upset is because I don't want to invite auntie's daughters.
First, I've never even met them!
Second, I don't feel like causing drama, and therefore feel as if I have to invite these people.
Little back story - it was the inviting (or should I say non-inviting) of Auntie to Ryan and I's wedding that was a point of anger from Ryan's father towards me. 'Auntie' is my husband's, father's, aunt (my husband's grandmother's sister). We did not purposely exclude her from the wedding, but when we asked his parents who they thought we should invite and our list of people went from 50 to 300, we chose to narrow it down - we paid for the wedding, we chose not to have that many people there. Ryan forgot to add Auntie to our final list and that caused a huge riff - Ryan's dad said, and I quote "It is my son's wedding, I will invite whoever I want!" to which I replied "Yes, it is your sons wedding - not yours!" If we didn't want to invite her (which we did he just forgot to add the name) it is none of his father's business - he did not pay for the wedding, therefore he has no say.
I just feel if I don't invite these people (I think one daughter is Lexi, whom I have never met yet his grandmother still calls me by her name, and the other I have no idea what her name is or anything) there will just be so much more drama and to be quite honest, I don't want to deal with that. UGH! This is supposed to be my time to not worry about anything and I'm worrying about EVERYTHING!
2.) My cartilage piercing closed!
I got my ear pierced a year ago, thanks to an early birthday present from my sister. Now, I know when it is done your ear will be sore for a little while, and possibly swollen, red, etc. I got that. However, fast forward 6 months later and I still can't even let the water in the shower hit it without crying, something is wrong. I go back to the place that did it, explain I know it takes up to a year to heal, but shouldn't it be starting to heal by now? Girl (same one that pierced it) says she doesn't know what is wrong, may just be taking a bit longer to heal.
I talk to my sister-in-law who also had hers pierced and she said hers was like that for a month, maybe two.
I am so mad. I still can't sleep on that side because it hurts my head - if I accidentally roll over onto that side, my ear gets puffy, red, etc, like it was just done, and my ear swells up so bad I can't even get the back of the earring off. I wake up in severe pain, it feels like the bones in my ear are hurting and stabbing and it hurts so bad.
Well, que up the other night when I wake up in severe pain because I accidentally rolled over in my sleep. Luckily I caught it quick enough and was able to get my earring off. Normally I can put the earring in the next morning, but I decide to wait and go one night without the earring in. Well, I can't even find the hole now. I can't even believe it closed after one night of not having an earring in it! It's been a year! I am so mad. There is nothing I can do now and the place wouldn't even give me a partial refund (when I saw them at two months, then 4, then 6 because it still wasn't healing!) even though they screwed up. I am so mad.
