told them

Told our family this weekend end with the month and year of our kids inside easter eggs. It took them a little bit to get it, but they did. Some where very excited for us. Mother in law the most. Some indifferent and just like I told my husband his sister was pissed. Got evil looks from her for about about hour. I ignored her and kept doing what ignored was doing. I'm actually impressed that she talked to me before we all left, last few times ignored was days or weeks and I don't expect a congratulations. Could really care less. I just hate upsetting people even if it isn't completely in my control. Yes pregnant a little soon than planned. Yes I know they are trying for another. And had a stillborn that no kidneys or bladder, and a miscarriage also. I understand it is difficult and I know how frustrating and yes can get that angry feel when others get pregnant and you haven't yet. You feel like what is wrong with me? I put myself in others shoes pretty well, but it doesn't make things hurt less. I guess if we announced it different maybe individually, but that's not me. I hate having people in my business. So one I'm pregnant because I had to tell them is it. I also feel weird saying I'm pregnant or expecting so always done in different ways.
Anyone Else Have A problem With Someone Close To The OR IN The family?

I've had the same from my sister in law.i've been pregnant 5 times now and have 1 live child. 1 stillbirth and 2 miscarriages. My sister in law has also gone through 2 miscarriages. Every single time we've announced a pregnancy there has always been an issue...whether its the way we tell her or who tells her or have we been considerare enough...i think the thing is whatever which way you do it its not going to be a pleasent one but you have exciting news and you should be able to express it the same way she will when she has one. You can't let her taint it and just have to press on.there her issues and problems she has to deal with. You can't stop the world
People are always going to have babies. I have never been a jealous type and i have always been happy for others expecting even when i felt like it would never happen for me. Just enjoy your pregnancy! I have learnt not to let other peoplea thoughts and opinions bother me.i have been through enough heart ache myself. I don't take anything for granted. All the best to you.
