So I called and told my parents that we were expecting again. I talked to my dad. I got a long silence. 
Then, all he said was, "is this something you were planning?"
I said, well not exactly, but we are very excited.
He said nothing else. It was a very awkward conversation. He asked about the kids. And did not say congrats. He said "well, keep us updates."
At least he did not say what I expected him to say. I thought he would say something a little more negative. I am kidna sad about this. I recently moved to SC. My family lives here. And now, me and my mom are not on speaking terms. We have always been so close and especially during my labors and deliveries. I feel like maybe at some point during this pregnancy we will begin mending the fence, so to speak. But I am sad that I could not celebrate with her. At the same time, the thought of sharing this with her makes me sick. Sorry, I am rambling.

We told her that I was pregnant and her response was that we do not need to be having another child (umm why? we were doing wonderfully with our 2 kids). She asked "When are you due?" We told her my EDD and she said, "No not that.. when are you due for your snip snip?" She was insinuating that dh needed to go and get a vasectomy! As though it's ANY of her business. 
She also stated that she would never babysit all 3 of our children. I just can't believe she reacted that way.
