Shermag Reclining Glider

Shermag Reclining GliderPregnancy / Baby Registry / stepmother issue - sorry, it's a bit long?

Then my stepmother notoriously not buy gift registries. For my bridal shower, she went to OT Hallmark store and bought everything related to marriage that she had been found rather than buying something must obviously be desirable and necessary.
For my husband's cousin marriage, she went to buy a vacuum is registered to. BUT ... she bought another because it was a little cheaper, and in his words, "better than the girl wanted."
So my husband and I are 8 months along and took a very long time to carefully plan our registry (looking at consumer reports, reviews, recall lists, etc.). Well, we wanted the "my little lamb" swing and registered at Babies "for her. Target had a sale so that the swing was $ 10 cheaper, so she went and bought him. It's quite good, especially because she told my husband and we were able to remove it from the registry so that we do not end up with two and must do more than is necessary to return.
It took me over a month to finally settle on a glider ... I chose the XL Dutalier reclining glider cherry with a beige fabric (we chose not to know the sex of the baby, then everything in the nursery is cream colored and very light tan). So for Christmas, my stepmother gave us a glider ... that was not even close to that of our records. She went to Babies "on Black Friday and bought a glider from Shermag in this very dark brown / green to us because it was only $ 150. When they gave us, of course, we enjoyed it and everything. But I agonized for days over whether to tell them that it was not even close to what we want for the mother and child NOS NOS. Thus, one week later, I called my MIL.
I told him that I did not want to hurt her, but the glider they gave us was not that of the register and we wanted another. I asked her if she mind if we return and we pay only the difference from what we want. She was totally fine with it, but said they wanted to keep the glider for their home (they have another little son, who is 10 months.) And they gave us money for it. So I thought everything was fine.
Well, we went to their house the other night and my MIL, FIL, and the aunt of my husband and my sister never looked at me or acknowledged my presence for the entire hour we were there. I have no idea what is happening, but I think it kind of made a stink over this great and now nobody looks at or speaks to me, and I am 8 months pregnant ... why would they want me out this time?
I would like advice on how to manage the situation and what I do / feel. Thank you for reading this book, which is not even 1 / 16 of the thing, I had to discuss in this family.

She probably made a big fuss about it behind your back, I understand his style is not what you had in mind and with your first baby you want everything to be perfect. Now see their point of view it is trying to be nice and give you guys a great gift and you acted snobby (I do not think that way but I'm sure they do) you can 't If you please everyone and someone will always be upset. I had to blow them out now and do not mention it again that you did nothing wrong, they will get over it!

I have just taken the store credit. If she were to ask you in future about this, so you said the you wanted something that could be used for both sexes, because at that time no one knew if he was going to be a girl or a boy. As for your current situation, MIL im sure is just bitter and of course his children will have at his side, she has tilted the story in his direction. Just be in a good mood when you're around them. Do not let them know that they "Got To you / got under the skin" act like you did not even notice. If they so wish.
