DH and I have been trading off weeks to have a night to go out with friends and not have to do toddler dinner, bedtime, etc. It's supposed to be my week, but I don't know what I can do with them without telling that I'm pregnant. Maybe I'll just share with my friends anyway, even though it's super early. I'd rather have their support if something went wrong again, though, so maybe I'll just take the plunge? That would make the b-day party I have this weekend way less stressful, too.
@cooaladolly I think she does. We hung out last night and I casually mentioned my ultrasound halfway through our night, she was interested and asked questions and I tried not to make a big deal about it. It was supposed to be our barrè night but she wasn't physically ready for exercise, but needed a distraction so we went to dinner and dessert 💚
We also discussed a friend of hers that has been totally insensitive. *TW MC and insensitivity to TTC/MC* I haven't been able to stand this person for months because when A (my friend) was discussing ttc she told me she didn't want A to get pregnant because she wasn't ready and didn't want to lose her friend. But apparently that isn't the most selfish thing to come out of this woman's mouth. She was with A when her hcg levels came back last week and was told they were dropping, her response? Well at least you can focus on traveling again. 🤯 Then A and her husband hung out with that group of friends Saturday and this person was discussing how it's all in God's plan and that's how my friend feels, so that's good. But then she said, it's like if I got pregnant I'd be so mad and freak out, like that's the last thing I want right now, but I know it'd be okay because it's God's plan! 🤯 THEN when A was trying to leave her friend, who is super drunk at this point, tries to have a heart to heart with her and tells her that she knows exactly how A is feeling because her adult brother recently ran away and she has no clue if he's alive or not because she hasn't heard anything from him.... I'm just completely disgusted in this person and I'm so happy my friend has decided to distance herself from her. Unfortunately they're husbands are great friends, so there's no walking away entirely.
Sorry about that long rant, I just needed to get that out because omg she pissed me off.
For anyone who knows the sex of their baby already or wants to get some unisex items, Gymboree (and Janie and Jack) are having a going out of business sale with some pretty good deals.
@galentine hooray for such a great appointment, and YH is hilarious!
@grapeskittles4lyfe that's crazy they're booked out so early. You'd think they do the daycare too.
@nnaelilak that other friend is just horrible! Just another reminder that A is lucky to have you on her side and will be happy for you no matter what, in her time.
@cmbt2 lol well the directors definitely know now. Hopefully it doesn't spread as quickly as you're thinking.

@cooaladolly my directors knew the day my first set of betas were drawn. They’re so full for infants that I secured the last available at all in 2020 spot that day.
he outed me to his teachers. “Mommy’s belly!” he apparently says a lot. The directors don’t share who’s secured future spots until the parents do
@Snaps816 I’m also going through something similar right now. I’ve always treaded lightly since this will be her 4th MC (She is the PGAL friend on the announcement thread)☹️ Ever since we both found out we were pregnant I’ve always let her take the lead. She went to her follow up US last week and there was a weak heartbeat but the embryo is significantly behind in growth. Her Dr told her to expect a MC within the week. It was doubly hard since this was supposed to be the appointment where she gets released to her OB ☹️ My heart breaks a million times for her.
My my only advice is to let her take the lead (which sounds like what you are doing) and just being there. It’s a difficult time all around.
