A Kelly (non-pregnancy) Story-Even longer than usual
We closed our our new place on Monday, but the closing was not like your typical boring closing. What fun would that be? The couple we bought it from is going through a divorce. The woman was packed up and leaving for the west coast as soon as the papers were signed. To get into the mood of the story, picture DH and I with our real estate lawyer, across the table from this very hostile couple with their lawyer. We are surrounded by the typical bank attorneys and others. I will not name names, so we'll just call them woman (W), Man (M) and their Lawyer (L). (Please read this with hostility voices in your head, as hostile and angry as possible.)
We are in the middle of real estate blah, blah legal blah blah when suddenly Man blurts out:
M: How am I supposed to get half the credit card bills from her?
W: Oh, you'll get them.
Man turns to Lawyer
M: She's leaving the state!!!!! How do I know she'll pay me?!?!?
L: We will discuss this after the closing.
The bickering continues and DH and I just sit there, trying not to look anybody in the eyes. We felt extremely uncomfortable. Suddenly, woman throws something at man. It's her engagement and wedding rings. Man picks them up, and (I'm not kidding you) takes a jeweler's inspection microscope out to check the rings. At this point I started laughing. We were so damn uncomfortable. Then woman looks at man and sees what he's doing.
W: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?
M: Well, how do I know you didn't swap the diamonds out?
W: Why would I do that?!?!?! Just take it to Giorgio!
M: I intend to!!
W: How will I know you won't swap the diamonds out before you take it to him and blame it on me?!?!?!
M: Guess we'll just have to trust each other.
Woman scoffs and leaves the room. DH and I just sit there, wanting to run out of the room. Well, the bickering continues throughout the entire closing. We find out that they decided to take this day and make it the day they sign all their legal divorce stuff. Gee, thanks!! Near the end I asked the guy.....
Me: How long have you been married? He thinks for a while.
M: It'll be 3 years in August
  3 YEARS?!?!
M: So how do you two like the kitchen?
(The kitchen is completely remodeled, ceiling to floor. It is awesome!)
DH: We LOVE it!
M: Yea, I spent a lot of time remodeling that kitchen. I never got to use it because I had to move out. Enjoy it!
(We hit an all time high of uncomfortable.)
The bickering continues. Somehow, all of the real estate paperwork finally gets done and everyone starts leaving the room to go home. I get up in disbelief and yell 'WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!' Everyone stops and looks at me. 'Aren't we supposed to get keys or something? We are now homeowners.' 
So everybody files back in. They were all so exhausted by what this couple was doing that they totally forgot the reason we were there. 
Do you know how uncomfortable that was, not just mentally, but having to sit there for 2 hours at 9 months pregnant? DH and I laughed the entire way home.

Re: A Kelly (non-pregnancy) Story-Even longer than usual
WOW Kelly!!!!!!!! You should have a professional video team following you around to catch these stories in action for us to watch! This is just so unbelievable what this couple did - I'd be so embarrassed!!!!
So happy that you made sure everything was yours in the end - including the keys!!!
Congrats on your new home and may you two, soon to be three, be much happier than this couple ever was!
