PB - Definately, each and everyone no matter how many we have is a true blessing. Congrats again hun. Omg, cant believe the termination comment. shocking.

Nic - I have had complete stranges say congratulations but not from close friends, get more the OMG your crazy look and then the sarcastic comments. I did get some congrats from some family. hugs isnt it always the way, once bub arrives they all want the first cuddle. I often remind my friend how I was never supported by anyone (apart from on here) and that I wasnt even congratulated. She replies, Ohhh except for me I supported you. Pfffff.

Epacris - Thankyou hun, its funny you know this friend didnt congratulate me when I was pg with Miss V, yet I was thrilled for her when she found out she was pg just 5wks later of me finding out I was. When I told her that I was pg this time, she turned to me and said Ohh she thought she was but turned out she wasnt. Still didnt give a congrats, yet would have expected one from me if she was. Which I would have done anyway. Yet we see each other practically every week, our DH's have become quite good friends, yet she had not once asked me how the pgcy was going or how I was until I didnt answer her calls. Yet I know she isnt all that interested in knowing, so i dont say much. When I do say something the subject changes.
Dont know if you would believe this, but after I had V and was still in hospital my sister stayed and looked after the kids. My DH would go and have dinner with the friends as they would say, Ohhh come over have some dinner and then we can all go and see csab. By the time they would get to the hospital visiting hours were almost over, so lucky if DH would visit for 10mins. DH kept saying that he wasnt there every night, but she would say otherwise. Honestly DH works long hours with our business so didnt expect any visits through the day, but I was so upset about that. Yet as soon as friend had her bub, it was different. The thing was I really needed the support of my DH with everything that was going on with Little V and it was like they kept him busy with them, like my feelings didnt mean anything. I am actually quite worried about how it will turn out this time. I am really hoping they dont interfere with DH coming this time, as with any luck he will be on holidays unless this bub comes early, and he will need to be with the kids.
Sorry abit of a whine, is a bit of a touchy subject for me. lol

Congrats again hun.

Booboo - Thats exactly it, they want you to live the life they want you too, their way. In part I also think jealousy plays apart too. All any of us want is to hear Congratulations, nothing else. hugs

tattoo mamma - What a comment, I actually think my dad would have been over the moon with me expecting no.6, as he always wanted 6kids. hugs hun. dad passed away when DD4 was 9mths old. hugs
