My Sister's Pregnancy

My sister is expecting twins in April or May, and lives in Canada. Nath and I have repeatedly asked for photos so we can share in the pregnancy excitement from the other side of the pond; it's the ONLY way we can experience it.

But we have only received two photos early on, and my mom says my sister doesn't want to take more photos because she's "touchy about the way she looks". Another reason earlier on was that she was in a lot of pain because the babies were putting pressure on her organs. Nath and I wonder, "how does that preclude taking photos?" We're in pain all the time and we take photos of memorable events! What's the problem???

Erm...she's fat and pregnant...what's wrong with that??? It's normal! Was she expecting to stay svelte and not break out in acne because her hormones are going nuts? I get the feeling she's too posh to push. They spent the first ten years of marriage creating the perfect house...that's all going to go down the toilet, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to their disillusionment.

Sigh. This post is a bit of a rant on my part because of ongoing related problems, and I am on my period so very hormonally volatile when it comes to discussing anything related to pregnancy. Nath and I are thus far unable to have intercourse, but we want to have kids, start trying next year. So anything related to fertility and pregnancy gets me riled up because I feel inadequate. My vaginismus and his fibro make intercourse thus far impossible, so hearing about anyone else's pregnancy drives me to tears.
