Christmas gift drama already

When I was a kid, I never used to understand why my mother would always say she hated the holidays. Fast forward 20some years and here I am today, stressed out of my mind over how we're going to afford a "good Christmas" (DH's word...whatever that means) for the skids in addition to the birth of our first baby in January, and me quitting my job to stay at home with her! Now here comes the drama...

Further evidence that BM is a crazy person, and that DH is a sweet man

Saturday night, BM sent a picture to both DH and I of the skids out at dinner. We both responded how adorable they are and that it looks like they're having fun. A few minutes later, DH picks up his phone and says "why would she feel like this is appropriate to send me?" and shows me a picture that she sent to him (leaving me off of this one!) of the skids, herself, her son from a previous relationship, and her niece.

Anxiety over situation with SS6

As my due date gets closer, I'm becoming more anxious by the minute about how my skids will react to the new baby. So far they've seemed excited and haven't expressed any negative feelings about it, but I can't help but shake the feeling that this could change once she arrives. SD8 can be quite jealous and possessive of having "her time" with me and DH, but she's the least of my worries at this point (I feel like we'll be able to work out a balance fairly easy, she's a great kid overall).
