Well a prayer was answered today. My FBIL's wife found out she's pregant!! I am so excited for them because even though they weren't trying, I know she wanted a baby. But she is due 4days after my wedding and this is the first grandbaby / great grandbaby. It's bittersweet because I'm excited for my new family and the new life that will be coming into the world but at the same time I am jealous because I know this will take away from  their excitement for the wedding. Please pray that I can overcome my jealousy towards this and really be able to look forward to getting another niece or nephew.

    Ah I saw this on the June board Smile First of all, SUPER exciting news and congrats on being an aunt soon! Second...I totally understand you not wanting it to effect the wedding. Right now I'm panicing about my MOH, who may be getting engaged in the next few weeks, and I hate the mixed feelings of excitement for her but the other cruddy feeling of not wanting her to take the spotlight of my day...how horrible is that? (Of course, there's also the fact that I still am unsure if I even approve of the relationship, it just makes me uneasy). I mean, granted we all deserve our day, but we're only human to feel bits of jealously or worry that attention will be elsewhere. I think its fine, as long as we just vent to each other on here rather than to the people.

    I have talked to Fi about this and it helped. It's an all over mixed emotion situation. The family has two very big events happening close together. For my FILs it's hard because this is their last child getting married and their first grandchild. Bottomline, I don't mind attention being on her, psh I want to give her attention! I just want the family to put the same amount of attention and love into my wedding that they did the other too. It's really exciting too because I already have a nephew and for FI this is the first time he gets to be a biological uncle. I mean it's different when it's your own sibling. I'm feeling less jealous but still a tad worried. Aggh this turned into another vent! haha

    We are all human, right?  I think it's normal to have those feelings but the first child is usually late so hopefully it won't have an impact on your wedding.
