I posted a few days ago about how upset I was that my sister had refused to consider coming down while my father was away as there is a good likelyhood i will be having my baby then (didnt want to have to leave my husband with our other children).

My sister called yesterday asking me when the best time to book tickets would be which surprised me as I had thought she wasnt coming.

It turns out that when she said she wasnt coming it was said in a sarcastic was as in "of course im coming like I would leave you on your own". not in the way I took it which was no im not coming sod off

so the 4 hours i spent crying to my husband about the fact I would be on my own were probably a little bit of an overreaction - I am blaming pregnancy hormones.

so there is the update, and also to clear my sisters name a little as I feel guilty for making her sounds like some selfish, immature teenager when she really isnt. We have lived on our own since our mum died and she looked after my oldest while I was working from the time she was 16 so she really isnt immature at all

I am going to enjoy getting her room ready now and not be so silly!

Glad it has all worked out.

You're forgiven! Seriously, it's great news that she'll be there for you all.

Now, relax and enjoy waiting for your new little one to arrive.

Good luck and let us know when the arrival gets here!

Wishing you all the best, and well done to your sister!

What brilliant news

Think there must be a link between preganacy hormones and a loss in sarcasm detection...the amount of arguments DH and I had where apparently he was only joking

Enjoy your sister, it's lovely to be able to spend time together
