Due in March/April/May 2016

I know this isn't a big deal but I'm annoyed and I don't know who else to rant to lol. So I told my Mum and Dad on the weekend that we were having a girl. Their response was pretty dull - just like "well you know it's still very early and baby is still tiny etc etc. Which is fine. It is pretty early and of course until baby is born you can't be 100% sure. With their response I didn't think to tell them not to tell anyone but I did tell them they were the only ones who knew. So anyway I find out today from SIL that Mum has been telling everyone! Including her big mouth friend who in turn told SIL (they work together). She sounded annoyed that I hadn't told her and she had 2 little boys so I can understand how she might feel. So there you go. Not really how we had planned to do our gender reveal! I feel like I still needed time to work through all my feelings. But instead I've spent the evening sending crappy little messages to the rest of our family and friends that I didn't want to hear via the grapevine.

Oh sorry to hear covered!! Maybe she told everyone out of excitement? We did a gender reveal with our family but mil and sil had a fake suprised. My husband was very disappointed...

Atsaukina - that must be really tough. Do you at least have friends or another mom support group in your area you can meet up with and at least have people around you? I couldn't imagine how tough that must be for you!

Covered - that's annoying! Especially when you're so excited about your girl and wanted to tell others! I know the damage has been done, but I would tell your mom to stop telling people! Maybe though she's secretly excited, but is cautiously optimistic until baby girl is here?

Work has been crazy busy so I haven't been on as much - sorry if I missed anything big! I will go back through and read the thread more carefully when I get a second. We were able to tell most family this weekend and they were all excited, happy and over the moon! Also, I finally asked my mom how her m/s was with my brother and I and she said minimal nausea Off and on, so such a relief to me that I don't feel like a turd all the time!

Covered I know how you feel. My mom posted it under a photo of me on Facebook. It didn't dawn of her that she would not be the last person I need to tell in person and that it's a secret. So now I'm in a hurry to tell people and maybe do a Facebook announcement to start to filter random questions.

Oh that does suck covered. We haven't shared our prego w fam yet, I usually do after first trimester, but I would be very upset if someone went and blabbed their mouth and ruined my own sharing in my own way. Def. Let mom know your upset but what can you do? Now that everyone knows you have more support and people to share with so don't hold a grudge too long

Taytum- I was part of a homeschooling group but kids are in school this year besides my youngest two. They are all aquantices though not good friends. My midwife comes at 1 day, 2 days, 1 week, and ,6 weeks after birth so that's nice. After that I'm on my own. Really trying to make a plan to get back anywhere on west coast to at least be some kind of driving distance to family and be able to see them a couple times a year would be amazing instead of once every couple years. This move would've been way easier and less risky with less kids so really kicking myself I wasn't able to convince dh sooner. He really will not want to go now w 6 kids to take care of.

[Ashforblue]

That is an awesome announcement Hitme!!

Oh Covered.... I'm sorry your gender reveal was ruined

In the comment/caption section I put that we knew it was a boy right in the heading, before the cut off point - we went on to include how we knew, and what we planned to name him. This was to avoid all the "will you find out" "maybe it's a girl" which it did but then I got the equally harsh "ANOTHER BOY!" Comments, and "your a baby factory". It's brought some new emotions to the table ladies. If I'm lucky to go HT and succeed, no one will know until I have her in my arms.
This stirred up all my gender disappointment and increased my gender desire.
My happy announcement is a public front for all I'm really feeling. Thank god for you guys.
