Haven't posted in a while, here's a summary of life right now:

-in-laws decided to stop helping us with rent just before I'm due to have this baby, after guilt tripping us about considering adoption. "it would be like a death in the family, won't you consider anyone besides yourselves?" We were considering it because we were worried about not

All I can say is, holy crap, time flies by fast! The pictures are super cute!

Feel better hun! <3

Time does fly, I am sorta amazed by how fast. Thanks hun! I hope you're doing great.

I'm sorry you're going through such BS right now. If you are seriously considering adoption (which I hope you're not because you make the cutest kids), you & Adam probably shouldn't see the baby after you give birth. That was my mistake best choice I ever made. I was hell bent on giving Emma up & my mind changed as soon as I saw her. I cried like hell for the first 3 weeks of her life until I got her back in my custody.

I should shut up about that.

I know your financial situation isn't the most ideal right now but you'll make it work. You're a smart lady. Have you applied for food stamps and/or WIC? Both can help you out tremendously. Coupons are a major help too! I try to cut corners every which way I can.

Perhaps you can make a little side monies by crocheting up those awesome things you make? I know you're very crafty that way.

I need to hop on gchat badly. I feel like its been forever since we last chatted.

We've decided against it for sure, we changed our minds about it just after Christmas after having a long talk with my mum. I felt a lot less hopeless and upset about it, but now I can't help but second guess our decision. We've actually got friends that are a really nice married couple with a daughter who can't physically (without significant fatal risks to mum and baby) have another. It was really hard changing our minds and telling them, but they took it really well

It pleases me dearly to hear that you changed your minds. It is the hardest decision in the world to make. I don't know why I ever considered it. It took a lot of strength that I didn't know I had to let some strange bitch take Emma away from me. But I got her back & there ain't shit she can do about it now!

Good! WIC has helped me tremendously! I can't believe your BC got lost in the mail! It was USPS, wasn't it?

Could you possibly make a sock monkey for Emma? I'd pay you, of course. A hand made item holds so much more sentimental value than a store bought item. I really liked what I've seen of your work.

Of course it was sent through the usps, they're useless a lot of the time. Another reason I get DC on anything humanly possible! I actually have a package coming from the UK that's been in transit for a month as of tomorrow. The package I sent to the same address got there in just under a week :/

I have never actually made anything like that with knitting, actually. So far I can make rectangles and similar shapes. I could crochet her a little creature though! I've made tons of those, and they're quite cute. A friend got a unicorn creature for her birthday and I've got a rock monster I'm almost done with for someone else, but no time constraints on finishing.

Adam told me that he knew I was the one the day I gave him a red lobster creature with fur and claws and scary black eyes, hahaha.

Thanks! I hope so too, otherwise I'll just have to eat everyone's heads and call it a day. And well, they're all so cute...

Your tots are so adorable, jeeeez louise! I also cannot believe you're already 9 months!

Such a shitty situation WRT your in-laws/money in general. My fingers are crossed for Adam finding work and for mucho awesomeness to befall you!

[pleasesupriseme]

Aww, thanks hun! I think they're ridiculously cute, but I am completely biased. I don't know what to do about my inlaws, but hopefully things will turn out ok. I'm hoping my mum could let me borrow money for a weekish to tide us over? She's a sweetheart, and that would go a long way. I just hate feeling this stressed. I am not a stressful person. Just makes it even harder to sleep..
