remember a few days ago i said *someone* is pregnant? i guess he told the parents now, so i think it's safe to say on here...i hope none of his friends lurk. =P
my brother (31) and his 19 yo gf/fi is pregnant. she doesn't have health insurance. they will be due beg of may.
he talked to his ins company, and they rec that he gets married (they're already engaged) before the first tri is over.....which means i will be going to las vegas probably early november. oy. i have no vacation time for this.

Assuming they get married on a Saturday, you could do it so that you don't have to miss any more work.
(trying to find a silver lining here)
As a gift you could give them directions to the closest marriage license place to their house and then the courthouse?
LOL. Would your parents throw in an Elvis impersonator to marry them?
i told him i'd pay for the wedding if elvis did it. he said no.
as for the gift, i told him *his* portion of the gift, i'd fly his FI up here for the AHR. then get *her* some sort of spa package. he can figure out how to get here on his own. i no longer care about him, i care about his offspring.

oh ok.
so a vegas wedding is fitting. why don't you care about your brother anymore? i think i forgot all this or i'm having a moment.. is it because he's engaged to some girl who we think is a gold digger? tell him to sign a prenup.. if necessary! 
i don't care about him anymore because his spawn is more important than him (this is how uw and i differ.....i *love* babies!)
she's not a gold digger....i just don't like her because she's so young and naive. i would love to have her as a SIL if she was at least 5 years older and grown up a little bit.
my cousin also dated/impregnated a very young girl....but she was at least 22 i think (he was 30?). at first i didn't like her because of age (she was 20 when we met), but she was very mature and i grew to like her very fast. my brothers gf isn't quite there.

i totally get it. the difference between even 19 and 20 is huge. hopefully this pregnancy will help her grow up and not stop her growth at 19 years old. i've seen it happen and it's sad...
and yes, you're right, his spawn is more important.

Haha, you make me sound like a monster, but don't forget that I am signed up to take H's brother's kid if something happens to them.
ITA that 19 is really young and there's a big difference between 19 and 22. Hopefully she gets her shiz together and does some growing up fast.
you just made this trip worth it!!!!

nesties helpin nesties.. it doesn't get better!
Wow.
Not quite sure what to say.
Is it odd that I'm thinking that they're kind of stealing your baby thunder? I mean, yeah, you'll be first, but... hrm.
Reminds me of my BIL and his gf (super annoying chick, I think I've told you about her) because anytime anything happens with us and the baby or anything, BIL nudges her and says, "That'll be you, that'll be you," and stuff. Super annoying.

you're no monster. but i know to never ask you to watch my children, if i have them. lol.
and i completely agree. there is a HUGE difference between late teens and early 20s and an even bigger difference from early twenties to mid and late twenties. i know SO much more than i did then. i think i'm even a better person than i was just last year.
good point. i didn't even think about this! do you feel this way at all jenn? i'm sorry!!!
also, h and i were TTGKTFU in jan/feb.. my cousin told me she was preg in feb and we didn't try that next cycle. for more than one reason but her being preg at the same time was kinda bummer for me. since i'm 6 years older. but also, then my other cousin got preg and then i was DEFINITELY out. i wanna be preg with my friends, not family. maybe i'm a jerk but i don't care!
Sarack - I'm surprised at you! I thought this would be beyond obvious.
Why do they need a Vegas wedding? What am I missing? WA only requires like a month time frame, so they could get the license now and be married October.
i *do* feel a little miffed that my brother knocked up his little friend. but whatevz...i can't change that, right? it just pisses me off that he told me they had a "scare" last month...yet they didn't do anything about it to prevent it again (this was an unplanned pregnancy).
but it won't be *that* bad because my brother lives OOT, and he won't be announcing it for two more months...so i'll already be 6 months at that time.. i'll get my time.
the problem is my parents seem so excited. in chinese culture...the boy is everything, and his child is even more. my parents have told me before that my baby (even though they *are* excited about it), it won't be "their" grandbaby, the grandbaby "belongs" to my inlaws.
in chinese..there is a specific way to say grandma and grandpa that varies for moms/dads side----dads side is "regular", and moms side is literally "outsider old man" or "outsider old woman".

lol. i guess maybe it's because i love my brother so much, i couldn't imagine not loving him the same.. even though i'll love his kids even more, i'll still love him. that said, i do love my nieces way more than my sister. i'm such afuckingbitch.
i understand culture is important but times change and they can still treat YOUR baby like it's their's. i'd be really upset by that. is this something that you think you and your H will pass on to your children? and if this child is a boy he'll be your everything and his children will be even more?
This made me a little sad to hear with how it is but you seem to have as good of an attitude as you can about it. You are going to have an awesome and well loved baby!
h's family and my family are different when it comes to traditions. we both got the butt-end of the stick. my parents are "traditional" and love their boy, his parents are "american" and love their girl. (but we know h's parents will go crazy for our kids, probably more so for a boy, though).
we definitely won't be passing this tradition on to our kids.....we will do our best to be equal
