Dear Rae and Anonymous
I don't mind if you read my blog (i don't even mind the comments). However when I created my blog I was lead to believe that the only people that would read my blog were those they I personally gave my address to. Since then i've realized that you can find other blogs by searching. I have not given my inlaws my blog address b/c I don't want them to read it. It was created as a place for me to keep in touch with friends that have moved off. So if my inlaws are reading my blog... which I'm sure they are since my MIL made a comment (YESTERDAY) to my husband that she would have only seen on my blog... then I feel as though they are invading my privacy seeing as how they haven't admitted in doing so... sounds a little sneaky if you ask me... but maybe thats the wrong attitude to have. I'm not happy with the relationship I have with my MIL... i've put forth an effort but maybe I should keep trying.

Nicole, glad to hear that you weren't upset with my comments and don't mind getting them.
When are your twins due? Boys? Girls? One of each?
As for relationships with Mother in Laws...yes, please do keep putting forth the effort. My MIL couldn't stand me for years and years. Now (been married over 20 years)we have a good relationship. If nothing else you can be grateful for the role she had in raising your dh. There were times I felt we'd never "like" each other, but I can honestly say that preservering through the ups and downs have produced a great relationship. We finally do love each other. This makes life so much easier for everyone. I decided that I wanted my children to have their grandparents in their lives, and it meant a lot to my husband...so I kept on. I also had to simply DECIDE to continue trying regardless of the disagreements. This had a lot to do with my faith - as I'm instructed in the Bible that I have to love (even difficult people) ...and she is a believer. It was His strength and grace that brought us through the rocky times to a good relationship now.
May I encourage you to keep putting forth the effort? 20 years from now I believe you'll be happy you did.
The boys... yikes.. don't know what to do with boys... are due on April 17th.
I was told by a wise woman that during my time here it would it make or break our relationship... i'd prefer the first.
I saw Jessica tonight. She is such a little sweetheart. She came running up to me & gave me a big hug!
