HS reunions

So this Summer is my 10 yr reunion and there will be atleast 2 big baby bellies there, I won't be one of them. Awesome. Nothing like realizing you're are getting old and childless to lift your spirits.

Re: HS reunions
I'm skipping mine this year. Everyone I ever wanted to keep in touch with, I have or found on Facebook. And since my class was so huge (800+) it would be just my luck that the people I do want to see probably won't show.
I say skip it if it stresses you!
I'm not really down for HS reunions. I went to a really large school, and don't really keep in touch with a ton of people from HS. I've moved so much that more often than not, when I go back, people recognize me, and I have no idea who they are. It gets awkward.
Keep your chin up Moo!
I had mine last summer and at that point I wasn't even married. Imagine having to show up to you 10 yr reunion unmarried without kids and everyone else has pictures to brag with. I just had to make the best of my situation and have fun.
That sucks.
Thanks to FB, I know get informed when every single girl I went to HS gets ku and get to be serenaded with pictures of U/S and baby smiles and everything.
For the most part, I'm not bitter. But every time I get closer to a drs appt., it gets hard.
Happy thoughts your way.
Don't go! I know when mine comes up I wont be going... I don't really want to see that group of people I just HATED in HS.
Wait, Moo, how do you know you will not be with child by then? Did I miss something?
My 5 year should be this summer, but I have no idea if it is happening or not. I'll probably go if it's convenient, but I'm not going out of my way for it.
If it makes you feel any better, this summer is my 15 year reunion. I'm supposed to be one of the super stars out of my high school, but most of the people I graduated with have way nicer homes and cars because they aren't saddled with my student loan debt. Most of them have families already. And I have a post baby body with no baby to show for it.
Basically, I am fat, childless, old and have no money. Can you tell I am really looking forward to it? When is your reunion? Mine is supposed to be in July.
I went to my 10 year 2 years ago, and it was worthless. The people who were idiots in HS are still idiots, and truthfully ... the people I want to stay in touch with, I have. (and we all sat together at the reunion).
My advice: I wouldn't go if I were you.

My BFF from HS knows, and she just announced her pregnancy.
Totally what I did! I wasn't even engaged by my 10 year, btw.
There were many that were still childless at my 10 year. I was childless at my 10 year. In fact, I am due with my first only 10 days before my 20year this summer.
Needless to say, I don't plan on going - there's a slim chance, but not much.

First you don't know that you won't be one of them! Second, I think 10 years are overrated, I mean really it's only been 10 years. Mine was Thanksgiving last year and no one understood why I wasn't coming.
Umm hello, it's called the Atlantic ocean....
it's called a kilt, he's scottish
This is what I'm 99.9% doing... skipping. I'm supposed to have mine in July... but then again the planning committee are slackers and don't even have a venue... lol. I'll only go if my BFF makes me b/c her husband makes her (he went to HS with us and won't be able to attend).
You couldn't pay me to go to mine (it's also this summer for me too). I also went to a pretty big HS and honestly I probably wouldn't recognize anyone (nor would they recognize me). It would be awkward as hell to go.
Plus- we are not old!
My graduating class was 70.

My 10 yr reunion is this summer as well. The only reason I'm going is because I live in my hometown. If I didn't live here, I would not be going! The people I care to see and talk to, I still keep in touch with! If it were me, I wouldn't waste my time!
GL!
Mine is this summer too. And ditto about the 10 year...I wasn't even married then now that I think about it.
Boo. We went to ours last summer, not pg, and it was a total non-issue. There were still lots of people there who were either unmarried or not having kids yet.
As for the "not going" take, it did end up being pretty lame-O. Like others, I graduated from a HUGE class and most of the people I wanted to keep in touch with I had, outside of any reunions. It was crazy--the same cliques immediately formed back up again, the same party girls were still getting wasted on the dance floor and making fools of themselves, etc. I'm not sure we'll ever go back for another.
I don't recall any baby bellies at my 10 year (almost two years ago now!)
I had a shockingly good time and I think everyone else did, too.
This is one of the reasons why I didn't go. Everybody I used to hang out with was already married with kids when we had our HS reunion. I wasn't even married. Plus, I don't keep in touch with any of my HS friends anymore.
If it makes you feel any better both DH and I will have our 20 years next year and since we are TTA till November we won't be baby bellied then either.
When I catch up with HS friends thier kids are heading off to college and I can't even conceive one!
My 10yr was this past November and I didn't go. I don't regret it, either. I still keep in touch with the friends I'd be interested in seeing, and it was organized by the snots. The "sort of friends" that I keep in touch with via Facebook that went said it was no fun.
I will, however, be going to DH's 20yr reunion this year! One of his high school buddies that he only sees at reunions was my 8th grade Spanish teacher, so that would be so funny!
