Feeling anti-social?

We were invited to a labor day bbq on sunday but I'm hesitant to go.  First, I certainly don't feel like being in a bathing suit and I will have to take DD in the pool (she is 2).  Second, as soon as my friends and family see me without a glass of wine they will know what's up.  Third, I'm just really tired lol. DH offered to take DD to the party so she can have fun with her cousins.  I might take him up on that offer!

Anyone else feel like laying low this weekend? Or at least until you are ready to make the big announcement?

    Yes! My ILs are having a bbq and invited us, but I don't want to face a bunch of family members who don't know before I feel comfortable telling all of them. Especially with how crappy I've been feeling and how bad my ILs are at keeping a secret. Just going to lie low until our first ultrasound!

    My last two pregnansies (both MC) I opted to go the antisocial route. We have too many friends wanting us to be pregnant. If I ever don't have alcohol in my hand someone will ask. Everyone knows I'm not a big drinker anyway, but they still ask. It's not as bad since the MCs. I think they are more afraid to ask.
    I want people to know on my time and not be outed early.
    I say do what you want. Send DH and chill with a movie at home

    Yes! I am tired and anti-social. Mostly, I'm afraid of being around alcohol and people wondering why I'm not drinking.

    I have some family that are in town for the weekend. They haven't asked if DH and I want to hang out yet but they always do. These same family members were also aware we were TTC and ALWAYS ask if I'm pregnant yet... I'm honestly really hoping they don't ask to chill and if they do I'm probably going to play the 'Sorry, I have to work... Maybe next time' card.

    Yesterday we had plans to go out to a happy hour with a bunch of people from work that we had planned a few days before we found out but luckily everyone ended up canceling. I was pretty worried about what people would think about me not drinking while we were there.

    I'm going to a baby shower that's also a BBQ pool party. I'll just hold a cheap beer as cover. A dark bottle is great because I can dump it in the bathroom sink and fill it with water.

    Yes! We celebrated my sister's 25th birthday today and everyone wanted to do a toast. My mom had even got a special wine from my favorite vineyard so needless to say there were major eyebrow raises when I declined. I was so nervous someone would say something and take the attention away from my sister and put it on me.

    We made it through that, but we have a huge cookout with my husband's family tomorrow and I just can't. I was almost weirdly relieved when my son started coughing because now I can stay home with him because he is "sick". Yup, Mom of the Year over here!
