14-12-2009 - my new family

My mood while writing this blog: touched

this weekend i had a long discussion with my bf about us saving more money. i started to cry because we havent bought anything for the baby. and i was feeling very overwhelmed with xmas shopping for his 2 sons and having money to pay for my plane ticket home in jan.....his unemployment checks still havent arrived and hes been makin money playing poker (which is never a guaranteed win...usually he just breaks even...lol) so i was very nervous about not having things done sooner. he finally cracked n said his mom and dad told him to keep me from buying anything because they were furnishing the babys room as part of my surprise baby shower and he wasnt supposed to tell me but he knew i was freaking out. he had been just telling me ....o im sure my mom will get the crib and some things...which to me is not a guarantee. i have been very self reliant my entire adult life. my dad died when i was 18. i took the responsibility of moving my emotionallly wrecked mom into a house she could afford. stayed in state for college to help her cope and paid what my partial scholarship couldnt. i paid for my nursing school. i paid my mom 500 a month when her job turned salary and she could only squeak by on her bills. i helped my best friend raise her 3 sons when there dad turned to crack. i helped the man i consider my brother when he got out of prison and had no where to turn. ive never had anyone really just do anything for me in this way. the tear streamed down my face. i couldnt believe they were doing this for me. ive never had a real supportive spouse or his family. n im sorry hat i ruined the surprise but i feel better n i will still be very surprised...and grateful. i have my u/s in 1 day!!! hopefully my baby is more cooperative or everything is gonna be white!!!! i love my new family. moving here is the single smartest thing ive ever done in my entire life

I understand where you are coming from completely. At least you know for sure that they are reliable and love you a lot!! Im sure you will still be surprised at your baby shower and get more than the baby will need. !! Yay!

Awwe! That is AWESOME! I know exactly who you feel! My dad ran out of me and my mom when i was 1 and thats after he would beat her with me in her belly trying to kill me, and then when i was older i would go and stay with him and he would tell me horrible things like i wasnt his and that my mom was a whore and stuff like that, then i never really went back there, and he has not been a dad at all he didnt come to my graduation, my wedding, and didnt even come see my son after he was born, i have no recieved a phone call from him since i stopped going to see him or anything... Then i Married my now husband and have seen how a real family is supposed to be! I went into pre-term labor with my sone at 32 weeks, and my husbands mom took us out and bought us his crib changing table bedding diapers, storage bins, and all kinds of other things, totaling over $3,000. it was one of the nicest things i have ever had anyone do for me!! so i understand where your coming from!!!
