Told MIL we are TTC and trip to babies r us!

We told my mom we were TTC about a week ago.  Well Friday my mother in law asked if she could take me to lunch, she lives an hour away but she is really lonely because her mom just died last month, and my hubby and I are her only "kids" she has.  I am so lucky because she absolutely LOVES me.  Although her niceness drives me crazy at times, she is a great MIL.  My FIL is awesome too, but he and my MIL's marriage "ended" LONGGG ago, around the time my hubby was  born 24 years ago.  They are still married, but sleep in separate rooms, and are pretty much just "friends" living together.  So anyway were were eating at a Mexican restaurant, and she ordered coffee.  We were talking about her nieces baby who is due soon, and I kind of non-chalantly said "Yea so Russell and I went off birth control"  and the woman literally spit out her coffee and started crying and hugging me.  She is DYING for grandchildren, as she is 64.  We talked about it the rest of the visit and she is SO excited about the idea of potentially being a grandma soon!  She even told me she was going to loose some weight so she can chase the baby around LOL.

Then tonight we were in PA where they live and we went to Babies r us to get a shower gift for Russells cousin.  We spent about 2 hours in the store just fantasizing about our future baby.  That is a badddd place for someone who is TTC, I cried like 15 times looking at all the cute stuff there lol.  Anyway we went out with the in laws for dinner, and on the way out my MIL rubbed my belly and said "anything yet"  lol yea like I got pregnant in the two days since I've seen you last!  Anyway I didn't want to get anyone in my families hopes up, but I felt like I should tell her, and I am glad I did, she is soo happy now.

That place is EVIL! Hubby and I had way too much fun shopping for cousins kids.

Glad you got a good response!  Good luck TTC!  And yeah, BRU used to bring me to tears too...now that I actually have to buy something, it's tears of frustration! LOL!

Good luck to you!

*sigh* I used to go to BRUS all the time when we were TTC - It was like pulling teeth to get my hubby (also a Russell!) into that store. I, like you used to fantasize about what I would buy or decorate with for either gender. I too shed tears in that store.

Now I cry when I spend $80 on diapers and other butt related supplies for 2 kiddos! LOL! Your time will come too! :) Hopefully soon!

LOL!  I had to beg the hubby to go with me, but he reluctantly agreed.  It's funny because once we were in there HE was picking out bassinets and bedding too haha!  I guess I just have to be patient which I am trying very hard to work on.  and LOL butt related supplies!!

That is great that she is so excited about you two getting pregnant. Please do know you and hubby are in my thoughts and prayers for a BFP very soon.
