New Addition

Please welcome the newest addition to the family. Husband's sister just had a little girl. A little girl who has the unfortunate distinction of being named after a certain character from LOTR (who will hence be called frodo)....'nuf said.

And so begins the SIL drama. So you know how SIL is always on our case about not keeping in touch (we just suck at making phone calls...please don't count the number of times you have called us in a month and then report said number back to us in an attempt to guilt us into communicating with you. That just makes us realize how crazy you are.)....

Well, since SIL was well overdue she was supposed to be induced Thursday if nothing was happening with her lady bits. So Thurs AM rolls around and we have heard nothing so we call MIL who had arrived at SIL's on Tuesday. We leave messages and wait. A few hours later we get a call from MIL telling us that 8 hours earlier the baby had been born after a long labor the day before (Wednesday). So no one thought it was a good idea to call us and let us know SIL had gone into labor, let alone that the baby had been born??? WTF people. Now it is understandable that the person who has just pushed a large human being out of her hoo hoo will be a tad preoccupied and wouldn't have time to call everyone, but MIL and BIL were both there and neither of them pushed something out of their hoo hoo. I suppose this normally wouldn't bother me so much, except for the fact that if we had done that when LM was born the shit would have hit the baby fan. And for the record we not only called them all when LM was born, but kept them updated throughout the labor. So I am officially on a boycott of Husband's family right now. Not to mention that we only today received picture of the new edition....ugh!

We'll see if I get on a 6 hr plane ride with a newly 1yr old LM to see them come X-mas....I don't think so. I am a vindictive bitch sometimes...it's only one of my many charms.
