I'm visiting my parents this weekend, and at dinner, my dad offered me wine. I said no (obviously), but I'm not a big drinker anyway, so I didn't think it would be obvious. Later, my dad and I were taking a walk, and he started telling me about a coworker of his who is pregnant after taking Clomid. All of a sudden, he said: "The reason I'm telling you this is that I noticed you didn't drink any wine." I was completely caught off guard, so I said something really smooth like, "Um... yeah." My dad said, "That's good. The first eight weeks are really important. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me." ![]()
So... I guess my dad knows! LOL! I feel bad about not having told my mom, but we kind of wanted to wait until an ultrasound confirmed that everything's ok before telling anyone. Maybe my dad is psychic.
Has anyone else had someone guess that they're pregnant??
Re: My dad guessed...
Father's intuition is a pretty amazing thing! Your dad is so sweet!
The other day, my colleague (who knows we have been TTC) commented that she like my slacks. I told her those are my fat pants. She said, "Guess it's all those desserts you are eating huh?" I smile and replied, "Probably!" Then she said, "You know, Jan (one of our common friends) asked if you have any news (i.e. baby news) yet." I said, "Not yet." My colleague gave me a smirk. I think she had figured me out, but did not want to out me, which is very nice of her.

I was nervous last night having dinner with MIL and SIL (all our SOs are out of town). I ended up eating a little bit of Greek salad with a minimal amount of feta trying to not get them suspicious. I couldn't really say I was absolutely not going to eat any salad. Lol, they won't be surprised when we do tell them though - I also grabbed the crackers to take home saying it was for my clients.
When my mom was first pregnant, her mom figured it out before my mom did. My parents were visiting my grandparents, and I think she was all tired etc. Anyway, I think it is adorable that your dad won't say anything, and what a special Father's Day present for him!
I love how your dad waited until you were alone to mention something. I hate when people blurt out, "are you pregnant?!?" just because you turn down a drink. My MIL and some of Justin's semi-distant relatives asked me that a few different times at the family reunion a couple weeks ago (even after MIL asked Justin in private if I was and he said no). I always want to say, "If I am, do you really think this is the way I want to tell you??"
Anyway, your dad totes sounds like a sweetheart. And very observant!!
