I'm so incredibly frustrated with my sister right now. She has been dating her fiance for a year and they are getting married next April. They have been living together since last September. What is frustrating me now is that she will not do anything without him. I realize it's a new relationship and you want to spend a lot of time together, but come on! She used to come up and visit every couple of months, but now if he can't come, then she won't. And since he's in school and works as a server it's hard for him to get weekends off. It's ridiculous. We live 4 hours away. If you want to come visit, then just come for a night or two! We were just on the phone talking about vacations and she said that she wished we knew when the baby would be born so they could request time to come up. Obviously we have no idea exactly when the baby will come, so we can't plan. I know that with her work, she could just call and say that she wouldn't be in the next day because she was driving up to Tallahassee to be with me for the birth and they would be fine. She said, "yes, but Mert won't be able to just take days off like that." UGH!! Just freaking come without him!!! Are you really going to miss the birth of my baby because he can't come with you? I don't want him at the hospital with us anyway. I wanted just Jason, Marcy and my doula Stephanie. I'm frustrated and upset that she'll miss my baby's birth because she doesn't want to spend a night away from someone that she lives with and will be spending the rest of her life with. Even when Jason and I were first living together, I went up to visit my family by myself because he couldn't get off of work. It's no big deal!!!
I'm trying to be a good sister and just let it slide, but it's hard sometimes. We were so close and spent so much time together and Jason coming into the picture didn't change that at all. I don't really know what to do. I could talk to her about it, but I don't want to come across as selfish and like I want her to myself or something.
In other news, everything is fine with me. I'm still feeling nauseous most evenings which really sucks because that should be done by now! I ordered a fetal doppler from babybeat.com and it should be here today. I'm looking forward to getting the hear the heartbeat at home.
