I need a hug. (BFP, not mine, mentioned)

So today sucks. I have a group of girlfriends that I hang out with maybe once a month. Tonight we have a dinner date/movie night planned. I knew one of the ladies was trying to get pregnant so last night I texted her and asked for a heads up in the event she is planning to announce tonight. Well. She is 7 weeks pregnant and was planning to announce when we are together. And I want to crawl into a hole with my bottle of merlot and smutty netflix. I do not want to go at all. I want to stay at home and feel sorry for myself. 

An upsetting part of this is that she didn't even think to give me a heads up, but had told another friend of ours that she is "nervous to tell" me. Well, if you know that telling someone may be awkward then maybe that is a hint that a heads up is warranted. Instead she would have just dropped the bomb on me in front of everyone else. 

Oh never mind the text I just got from another friend, who will also be there tonight, telling me she thinks she may be pregnant because she has symptoms, but isn't taking a test today because they are to0 expensive. 

UGH!

((hugs)) hope it goes okay. I vote that if you don't want to deal, don't go. Take care of yourself first.

*big hug* I'm the type that has always thought about others before myself but since my MC's I find myself thinking more about me in situations like this.

If you really don't want to go, maybe it's best you don't. I don't advocate sitting home alone all the time but in this situation I think you're justified.

So sorry.

Edit : wtf is a bug hug?

((hugs)) I'm sorry.. I'm with the PP if you don't want to go - you certainly shouldn't have to put yourself through that!

huge hugs! ugh, I don't envy you today.  I agree with the other ladies, if you don't feel up to it, don't go. However, I know sometimes we just have to do things. A pre-drink drink may help!

((hugs)) if you don't want to go don't. You need to care for yourself first and foremost.

Thanks for the hugs and kind words. 

I took a nap after posting that and am feeling a little better. I am bringing macaroni and cheese pizza along tonight. Maybe carbing up will help.

Also. I don't know why my avatar is this stupid picture. In "My Account" it is set as a flower.

Comfort food did wonders for me and those are two of my faves!

I'm not sure about the avatar.

Hugs to you. Your pizza sounds... interesting... Hope it helps!

TashaCN

Thanks again for all the support ladies! I ended up going and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I mean I ate way too much pizza and ducked out early, but it was okay.

Thanks for all the kind words.

I'm glad it turned out ok for you

@Annabananabom, 

Thanks for sharing. It really is a trying time when your friends get nervous about telling you their good news. The fact is I will be happy and celebrate for them. I just need a heads up and some quiet time before doing so sometimes.

(((Hugs))) it's so hard. The same thing happened to me last week. One of my friends is pregnant - luckily another friend gave me a heads up. I know how you feel. I'm happy for her, but it's still hard.

I'm glad things went okay and it wasn't as bad as you thought.  ((hugs))

I'm glad to hear it went OK. My best friend recently announced her pregnancy, so I know how you feel. I'm happy for her, but it sucks when someone has the very thing that you want, but can't have.
