But in all honesty, I am not a big "announcer." My husband is....But I am not. I hate attention, but at some point you gotta tell. Otherwise, it can get weird. Trust me, I know! I totally regret waiting so long with Lexi. But one thing is for sure, I NEVER tell in the first trimester....Unless its a situation where I have no choice. In this case, aside from my sister in law, my mom, and maybe a couple others....That was it. Sometimes you just do not have a choice but to spill the beans. My sister in law and I are close and we see each other a lot, so it would have been weird if I did not tell her. Plus, her and her family were down here during a weekend where I was a total BEAR to Kory....Not to mention, I was tired all the time. I FELT LIKE CRAP THAT WEEKEND. I kept falling asleep on the couch and heading for the bathroom. I was worried they thought I was this lazy mom who had diarrhea. Plus, if I had a MC....She would be the first to know...So that was kinda my justification with that. My mom was a given, I talk to her every day....So that was hard to keep secret. And....I had to tell my aunt and two cousins while we were in NY. We had gone without food and water for hours and for non-preggo people....That is not a big deal....But for a preggo person....I was starting to get grumpy.....And I did not want them to think I was being a "mean girl".....So there was no choice in the matter!!!!
Other than that....I have kept it a secret. I hate sympathetic attention....So if I did have a MC...I would like to deal with that privately. I know soooo many people would totally disagree! But its a personal thing for me.
I like to wait until the first major ultra-sound to tell (18 weeks) because of all the issues
surrounding Braxton. But, I might have to forgo my plan. I am poking out like no other with this girlie and we're visiting Kory's family prior to the ultra-sound.......So there is no getting around that! Plus, I have had more ultrasounds to last me a life time! The baby is fine for now.
