My little sister and I don't always see eye to eye, and frankly, I think she's pretty selfish a lot of the time. She graduated from business school in May and was irked that I didn't go (a 9 hr drive) just because I had a baby 3 weeks prior. Well, she's getting married next August, and made a comment how I wasn't allowed to be pregnant. I told her, of course, I wouldn't miss the wedding, but I might be pregnant by then (I'll be 35, so I'm not messing around with spacing them out too much). She was annoyed. Should I really put off "trying" until after her wedding? We were planning to "try" again after DS turns 1, so at most I'd be 4 mo preggers. What say you?
Re: Opinions please: Scheduling the next LO
If at most you would be four months pregnant why would you not go to the wedding four months pregnant?
No i do not think you should plan your family around what others are doing. Plus as you know it could take a while to get pregnant.?
I am kind of in the same situation. My brother is getting married next July and we hope to get pregnant again in june or july. If we do get pregnant before the wedding, we are just planning on not telling anybody. I think it is selfish of her to ask you to not be pregnant for her wedding. It's not like you are going to be 9 months along and miss the wedding because you are giving birth. They make a lot of beautiful maternity gowns.
I wouldn't wait for sis' wedding, either.
She'll understand someday... if she's lucky.
It's hard for people who haven't had babies to get how everything else really pales in comparison to your little family. You do what YOU want. Sis can grow up in time.
