Poke: crush, accepted.

oddly enough, MIL never bothers us about kids, and H is an only child. My parents bring it up nonchalantly every once and a while...and they already have 5 grandkids!

When my parents got married my grandma somehow got into dad's suitcase and sewed a pair of his underwear shut. Every year after that she would be my dad & uncle (her SILs) socks and underwear for Christmas. I think it embarassed them at first but after a while they thought it was funny. My dad jokingly was mad the one year she didn't get them for him.

On the other side of the family there's 5 great grandchildren. My cousin (who has 3 of them) has already made it known that she has done her part in giving our grandfather as many great-grandkids and he has grandkids.

Nickivegan · July 2012

I'm an only child. But my parents have accepted that they will only have "fur grandchildren" and perhaps some day foster grand kids.

My MIL, on the other hand, had a hard time accepting that we don't want kids. Luckily, my SIL is all knocked up, so we are kid-pressure free!

Loopyseven · July 2012

On my mom's side, my cousin has two kids (so two great -grandbabies) but they live in Germany. I'll have the first stateside great-grandbaby. On my dad's side, one of my cousins has two kids and I'll have great-grandbaby number 3 on that side too.

I want to contribute something thoughtful or worthwhile right now but I'm having one of those moments where my brain feels literally fried. Maybe its from the humidity? I have no substantial thought process right now.

I was avidly anti children for years, and DH was not real excited about kids. Then within a year we lost his dad, my best friend, a good work friend of his, a good friend of mine's baby brother, his grandmother, two aunts on his side, a great uncle, and one other friend and we both decided it was really important to us to try to have kids.

I have no idea what happened to me in that year. None of my friends have children, none of them *like* children, either.

musicalsunlight · July 2012

Aw thanks Eags.

Maybe I should just start posting nonsense. Unfortunately I'm far too sober to do that.

I tell my mom her form of birth control for me worked too well....

for like 6 years during the summer I watched my cousins (newborn & 2 until they were 6 & 8) from 6am until 6pm. Plus I babysat during the rest of the year all the time. The younger one used to have seizures and black out...the older one had aggression problems. The oldest one passed away a few years ago(at age 20)...the amount of love, frustration, and pain I have had over those kids....parenthood is definitely not something to enter lightly.

mica178 · July 2012

Having two grandchildren just made MIL hungry for more. You wouldn't believe the pressure.

Hockey -- I don't think most churches are quite like the COS. Read up on Sea Org. That ish is messed up.

angelstar975 · July 2012

Hey ladies. I'm way too exhausted to read the thread, hope that's okay. Our engagement pictures took 4 hours and it was surprisingly draining. I could never be a model.

Loopyseven · July 2012

Glad you got to do them though Angel. How are you feeling today? Did a good night's sleep get you back to feeling well?

strlzfan11 · July 2012

I think I'm going to call it a night. Have a good one ladies!

<div>Ditto. I felt this way after my pin up girl shoot. </div>

musicalsunlight · July 2012

Haha so both Tory and willow were sleeping on my bed and since I don't yet trust willow to sleep all night freely, I put her in her kennel. Well, I lift her up and cradle her the same way she was laying on the bed, and set her down in front of her kennel door, thinking she would waltz in like normal. Nope. She just let me set her down in her sleep position. Pretending to stay asleep. Stinker.

HockeyFan4 · July 2012

angel, I am glad you didn't get rained out!

angelstar975 · July 2012

Loopy, I feel like crap.. It seems to be worse at night though, so I wasn't too bad during the day today. I'm so excited to see them myself, I hope they turn out well.

pokepoke27 · July 2012

Tricky tricky Tory.

musicalsunlight · July 2012

Yay I am happy you got them done angel! Can't wait to see them! Modding for photos is super tiring. Poses that look natural in a picture can actually be super awkward to hold for a long time. My bpics had some poses where I was like how the eff do I look sexy right now, this feels ridiculous!

musicalsunlight · July 2012

It was pretty cute, I gotta admit. Silly puppies.

Musu, we were in some positions that couldn't have felt less natural, but our photographers assured us they'll look good. I LOVE our photographers so I trust them.

StefffiC · July 2012

Can't wait to see them Angel!

HockeyFan4 · July 2012

alright I am off to bed....goodnight everyone!!!!
