I don't know if anyone has been following my blog for a long time.. but if you have, you may remember my coworker who kept thinking she was pregnant and telling me so after she knew about my miscarriages and I was still TTC..
Well.. She IS pregnant now.. About 7 weeks.. I know this, because she informed me on Monday that she was"6 weeks, 4 days". Really? Do I need to know how many days you are? So she's about 9 weeks behind me.. I am counting EVERY blessing I have that I was able to get pregnant with this presumably healthy pregnancy before she did, because I would be SOOOO more pissed than I am now..
I know it sounds mean and selfish that I say that.. and you know.. it isn't that I just can't stand the girl.. Its the situation that she is KNOWINGLY bringing a baby into that I can't stand.. I don't know if I ever explained this story.. but here goes..
1)She was divorced several years ago. (She is in her mid 30s). She moved "home" to live with her dad. Her dad is remarried and her stepmothers' adult son also lives with them. He's in his 40s. From what I understand, the parents have been married for a long time, but the adult children had never lived together growing up, they lived with the opposite set of parents..
2)You see where this is going? Shortly after moving in, these two adult step-siblings.. well started being romantically involved.. Like i said, its not like the grew up together, but they knew each other as stepsiblings.. To make things MORE awkward/confusing, she refers to HIS mom as MOM and doesn't acknowledge her real mom any longer, and calls all her other stepsiblings her "sisters/brothers" and their children as her neices and nephews.. None of this would be weird, except for the fact that she's sleeping with her BROTHER, in that case..
3)So, if you can get past all the confusion THAT is going to cause for the child of these two siblings.. And the fact that they're all still living in the same house with her father and his mother (At ages 40 somethng and 30something).. Lets add on the fact that the babydaddy goes to jail every weekend for violating some parole... I think it was a DWI charge, but it may have been drug possession.. Not really sure.
4)Step-mother told coworker that she should go "to the clinic" because her son is a peice of garbage and she was throwing her life away having a kid with him.. Classy..
I am just SOOO very happy that my baby is going to be born into a happy, healthy family environment.. It might not have a bathroom sink for the first 2 years of its life (Remember my bathroom remodel project? yeah.. the sink still doesn't work, and my husband hasn't really attempted to fix it.. ).. but at least it will be a healthy family..

Ugh!! I've been following your blog since the beginning and I do remember you talking about this woman (I use that term loosely) and how every other week she would come into work "pregnant"! The background story just makes it 10 times worse!! What the hell are they thinking?!?
I am so happy that you can go through this new drama knowing that you're bringing a beautiful baby into this world and providing it with two loving (NORMAL!) parents and a healthy, stable environment in which to grow up in!!
