I went home this past weekend to see my new niece. Jenni was induced on Tuesday around 8am, had her via c-section on Wednesday around 6:30am. There have been several in the family that have joked that she'll need to reserve a hospital bed on her 21st birthday, since she was born on St. Patty's Day. She's a wiggle worm, and so adorable. She's got all of us wrapped around her little pinky already. Baby Maddison Grace is a sleeper, though when you wake her p to eat, it's best to have the bottle ready, or else she will start sounding like a little tea pot.
So, as I figured, H called Mom and Dad and blabbed about what I did (see previous post). I'm not really surprised, though I found it interesting to hear that she's not only freezing out our side of her family, but her in-laws as well. I went on facebook Sunday night when I got back, and (i'm not completely sure of my motivations, maybe I was bored?) I by chance decided to go to her fb page. She unfriended me, lol! I find her pettiness hilarious, and she's supposed to be the more mature, older one! I already know I won't get to know her son until after she and her husband deploy overseas. I've already made the decision (and our parents agree/understand) that when the parents go down to meet their grandson/H and her husband/her pets, since someone needs to stay up here to watch Dudley, I'll be the one to stay here. It was a no-brainer. I mean, we don't get along, and there would be layers of tension especially since I called her out on her bulls*&%. So I took it (at least my part) out of the equation. Would I like there to be some semblance of a relationship between us? yes. However, I've put myself out there only to be blown off/made fun of, so I can't do that anymore. I'll stick up for her, however I won't sit here and say we are best friends. As I've always thought, blood makes you relate, not family. Family is people that get to know you, know your ups and downs, and still choose to be around you.
Well, that's all for right now. I'll try and update more this weekend. Laters.

congrats on your new neice :). I don't talk to my sister, not alot of people understand (other than my s/o since he is always here) that i can't keep doing this to myself, your post made me feel less bad about doing it.
Hope eventually she will grow up and realise what she is doing/missing.
thanks. i actually get to see my niece again this weekend when i go home to visit for my dad's b-day. my family is kinda giving me the guilt trip "if you don't make up now, and something happens while she's overseas, you won't be able to live with herself."
the almost sad thing is that i'm the youngest of three, j's the oldest, h being the middle child. i'm hoping the same thing.
