But, in the meantime, I've been working on a mass email to send to close friends and family who we won't tell over the phone. (The idea of calling everyone just to say "we're pregnant" sounds horrifyingly awkward to me.) I sent the draft of the email to BG yesterday.
He laughed. Actually, here is his exact response.
Wow... I thought it would be much shorter :) Something like "After
lots of trying and helping mother nature along..." type thing.

To be honest, it is a bit of a novel. I broke it up into 2 parts: the short story and the long story. The long story went into how people get diagnosed with IF, our diagnosis and our treatments. I also talked about our recent bleeding. Of course I wouldn't put all this information on FB, but I did want to let our closest family and friends know. But maybe not that much. I don't know.
I asked BG to edit it and track changes. I said I wouldn't be offended, to which he replied "I would be offended if someone cut 80% of my report." Perhaps he's right.
I will try again soon.

As seems to be the theme lately, I am off and may be out-of-touch again for a few days, although I hope not this time. I'm wishing for a lazy weekend around my parent's house and garden. I don't think it's time to harvest anything yet, but I don't mind weeding.
I hope the sun is out where you are this weekend. Take care!
Enjoy your weekend and sharing wonderful news with your family!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! Enjoy sharing the news because it really is exciting!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are sharing, your family will be so so thrilled :). I wouldn't go too much into the possible loss though because you don't want them as worried as you - you want them to pump you up, not start googling or worrying that they shouldn't get excited yet and further worrying you. Just let them know you are still cautious because of the way this all started and want to make sure all is perfect before you share with the world.
ReplyDeleteSo thrilled for you, I can't wait to hear their reactions!
I wish I could be a fly on the wall when you tell your family. So exciting! I hope you get some reassuring news soon so you can send out your heavily-edited email! :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I love BG's comments. Hope you and your editor can meet in the middle to draft the perfect message!
ReplyDeleteThe sun is out in full force here, and I hope it's shining on you too :)
Totally understand wanting people to know what you've been through, because it is a lot. Your husband sounds so similar to mine hana I had to laugh at his reaction to the email. I could write a book and p doesn't want more than a sentence!!! Hope you are finally able to enjoy your pregnancy, even just a little bit :)
