I'd be willing to bet my dinner that my friend is announcing her pregnancy tonight since our whole group will be together. I SO want to be happy for her. But I'm terrified that I'll start crying. These are my best friends, so I shouldn't be embarrassed, but I don't want to take away from her excitement.
Part of me thinks that she would know better and at least have given me a heads up. Another part knows that people don't always think things through like that.
Hope everybody has the most enjoyable evening possible. Can't wait for next year!
Re: Tonight
I'm so sorry. You're absolutely right - it's common sense for her to give you a heads up but, in her newfound pg-induced glee, she might not. It sucks but I've personally found that very few people IRL really consider what we've been through.
It's going to be unbelievably hard, but if I were you, I'd put on my absolute best game face ever, smile through my tears, and keep the peace. And then bolt afterward and weep into my steering wheel.
