Phone call from my mom

[trickykitty]

Phone calls from my mom never go as expected. Never.

So mom has been trying to talk with me the past 24 hours, and I always know when something is up that's important based on how she sounds when trying to meet with me, leaving a voice mail for me, etc. There is some kind of family news going on that at least doesn't have her in tears, so at least I know that no one has died.

My sister is pregnant, again.

Now, this is one of those SERIOUSLY, WTF things, because my sister had her tubes tied after nephew number two was born. Apparently, she's one of the "lucky" ones whose tubes grew back.

*head fucking desk*

Anyone have some baby boy stuff they don't need?

Oh, and there actually is a somewhat good news to this. Sort of. Kind of. We shall see. This child will be the progeny of Baby Daddy #2 who at least seems pretty bright, respectful of my parents, and who comes from a family very similar to my own and who is already going to the library to pick out baby names. Yes, that in and of itself is in fact a bright side of the coin.

I cannot get enough of this reaction: *headdesk, headdesk, headdesk*

Ugh. Reminds me of my friend's sisters who both squeeze out a new pup every two or three years.

Except that we intentionally put a stop to this phenomena.

Or so we had thought.

Frack.

Well, let's hope she snags Bachelor #1 and doesn't end up cannibalizing him.

Good grief :( I'm so sorry to hear this - and the last thing your parents need is a third grandchild to be raising. I guess adoption is not an option????

Oh no - they already have a name and everything. Let's see if I can remember this correctly. I believe it's going to be Aiden Alen Garrison. I could be getting it slightly wrong, but that's pretty close and I tried to remember it when it was spelled out to me.

At least the happy couple is currently living together in an apartment (with another couple and I believe one other child), and they are already talking about getting a starter house. There might be a chance this kid actually grows up in a semi-family home environment. We shall see.

Oh my goodness. Will keep fingers crossed that it turns out better this time, but won't be holding my breath :( Who knows, maybe third time will be the charm??? We can always hope!
