5 days

I’ve painted myself into a corner of "if I don’t post everyday, will people panic?" So, here I am, posting! No panicking!

The play was great. I did not go into labor. Goddammit.

My ILs continue to annoy the shit out of me, by their complete apathy towards Dave. DUDE, do NOT bitch about him "never calling" (despite no one EVER EVER calling us) when he calls you and leaves two messages, and you don’t CALL BACK. It’s not like you’re BUSY.  Good thing he got through on the third try, eh? And even weirder, hello, he’s about to become a FATHER, so you’d think a phone call (which is rare, granted) from him, 5 days before his wife’s due date, would warrant SOME kind of response. But no. Lifetime Television was far too engrossing, I guess. Fucking A. At least he recognizes how fucked up it is, and that that’s NOT how he wants his family to function. As much as I’m excited to have a baby, I’m equally excited to see Dave become a dad, and be able to have the family he’s always wanted, and be the dad he always deserved.

I’m just so annoyed that there’s all this — pressure on "I expect to see that BABY more than i see YOU now" coming frommy MIL, when she can’t even CALL BACK. She has our number, ferfuckssake. I worry about too much intrusion, BECAUSE of the baby, you know? Like "oh, i want to smell the baby’s head, but whatever, I don’t need to acknowledge YOU, son."  Maybe if there was some sense of normalcy with them, I wouldn’t be so fucking defensive of my baby ALREADY. You know? Argh.  Don’t fake this family shit because of a BAAAYYYBEEEE, when your own son can’t even get a CALL BACK.
