I'm so sorry that they had such a negative reaction. As hard as it is, remember that they are products of their upbringing. And thank goodness you are in the States where girls are just as cherished as boys. These two beautiful little souls will capture everyone's hearts in no time. Do not let them steal your joy. These are the babies that God intended you to have and they will be amazing additions to your family. Stay strong and more importantly, stay happy! These girls are a blessing!

Hugs,

I'm so sorry that after all you and your husband have been through, you are confronted with such poor support from his family. Congratulations on getting ready to start this new and exciting chapter of your life! And I hope that your in-laws catch on to your high spirits soon too!

My husband's father was also very disappointed that we were having a girl, because he has no grandsons to "pass on the family name".

What they don't understand is how hard it was for us to have even one child. They got married young, had three children easily, with no fertility struggles at all. They do not see our child as a miracle, and even when they came to visit for the first time, they did not bring anything for the baby. Not even a blanket. They never gave her anything until her 2nd birthday when I complained. I just don't like the way they take her for granted.

Wow integrityfaith!!!! My lil ones are not even here yet and the inlaws show their true col.ours.....I would be very angry if my inlaws came empty handed.. Just like your family they have the same upbringing which includes getting married very early...I would be sooo livid if they treated my daughters like that!!!! You poor thing!!. Your baby is such a blessing and a miracle....I was not nice to my mother in law...I told my husband i didnt want anything to do wtth her!!!!! He was shocked and told me that does it really matter what she says... It was a very negative day for me but i pulled through and have still not spoken to them!!! They are not a part of my daughters life with that attitude!!!!.. I will not tolerate negative thinking... It took me sooooooooo long to get pregnant. who are they to put my precious girls in this retarded catagory!!!!.. Im appalled... I have had my sis in law try to calm me down but all i could say was.. Hell no.. They can shove it fro all i care.. Im very disappointed in them and will not forgive them for their adolecent thinking!! They lost one son to suicide 6 years ago.. like really.. Children are presious and inoccent.. How could they do this especially after a tragedy like this... My husband said they are putting the pressure on him... Why!!!!!.
My husband does not care so neither do i... Thank you for the kind words and support!!!! We know our journey and we know how we have suffered!!!
