DMIL: Kathleen Rosetta "Kathy" [Bower] Harper
When my father in law Henry died I felt really sad, more for Jeff and Vicky than myself. Vicky would never get to play hide and seek with him or listen to all his great army stories like Alex (Alessandro) & Ella (Gabriela) got to. Jeff was also very sad. He loved and still does love his father deeply. Well anyways Kathy got scared of living by herself (even thought they have a butler and several maids) so she asked if she could move in with us for a while. At first I wanted to say no. But Jeff said that his father would want us to take care of her so I agreed. The reason she moved in with us instead of Jeff's sisters, according to Jeff, is because that Hannah (30) lives in a small three bedroom apartment with her Husband and two kids (Alex, 6, & Gabriela, almost 3) and is pregnant with another girl (to be named Catriona Henrietta). Rachel (19) however is living with her boy friend and it would be rude to live with them. But apparently living with us is A-Okay because we have a small three bedroom house (with a basement apartment) and are already married. Vicky has taken to her nonna being around alot. And she's also started crawling. If me and Jeff leave the room, nonna becomes another security blanket. Which means more time for Jeff and I, which leads to the next issue. I'm pregnant. I haven't exactly gotten my period back since Vicky's birth (I'm still breastfeeding) but one day I started feeling sick. At that point my mother and law tried to separate me and Vicky as much as possible, but it was impossible because of me breastfeeding Victoria. Kathy was going to visit Hannah (who lives in the France) and Rachel (who lives in Spain) and suggested that she take Victoria with her. But I said no, due to the fact that Jeff was going to be out of town for a while and I wanted someone to stay with me. Then Kathy suggested canceling her trip but I said no (I mean how much mother in law can one person handle?) So the next day she nervously left us. But after a week of not feeling well I started to complain to Jeff. During one of the conversations he jokingly asked if I was pregnant. Even though we agreed that would be silly I laid awake that night and that possibility kept ringing in my head. So finally at about 3 am I decided to take a test. After a very nerve racking 5 minutes my suspision was confirmed. I was indeed pregnant. Well Jeff was comming home in two days and my mother in law was comming home in 10 so I sucked it up and decided to wait till Jeff got home. Well the next morning I decided I couldn't wait and I called Jeff as soon as he picked up I told him "you were right!" and then he asked me what about before realizing what I was saying. Then he asked me if I was alright and told me we'd talk when he got home. Two days later he burst through the door to our house and gave me a huge hug. "What's that for?" I asked and he replied that he was happy for us and he got a little "sumthin sumthin" for the new baby. Then he pulled out a I Heart Addison Hills Onsie and I began to cry. "You know we can't tell your mother yet" I said to him and he said he knew. We hugged again and suddenly heard Vicky ask "Cwy?" (which was so exciting because the only other words she knew were Mama/Me, Dada/Jeff, Tafta/My mom, Baba/My dad, Aunnie/My sister, Tuntow/My Brother, & Nana/MIL). Jeff picked her up and came over and I hugged her. Soon we'd be a family of four.......... When Kathy came back it was getting a bit harder to keep it a secret. For starters Maggz who always cuddled up to me started to avoid me and Kathy got upset that I had her constantly changing the litter box (instead of doing it myself). I also felt sick most of the time and threw up quite often. Eventually I told my parents about #2 and that I needed her out of the house most of the day so she wouldn't worry. My parents (who were very suprised at this new information) found a part-time job for her at my father's company.
