So, I'm REALLY upset. I went to my cousin's wedding today and not 10 minutes after getting there, my Aunt came up to me and put her hand on my belly and said, "Congrats, I think it's going to be a boy this time!" I just looked at her in shock. I'm not THAT big so how did she know?
I dismissed it then a cousin came up to me and said, "Aaaagh, sorry I didn't say anything on FB when I heard but CONGRATS on your pregnancy!" I asked them how they knew and they said someone on FB. WHAT? I have told NOBODY on FB!!
Then, my other cousin comes up to me and kisses me and says, "Boy the family grapevine moves fast but I'm sorry I didn't say congrats before...when I found out" I asked HIM how he found out and he said from the family grapevine.
Bottom line, the WHOLE family knows and I haven't told ANY of them. I'm so irritated that I don't get to announce my own pregnancy.
I think it's just rude for anyone to tell news that's not their own, unless they know it's OK. My parents told everyone, but asked me first if it was OK.
I actually would rather people just find out, I never really know how it fit it into conversation that I'm pregnant.
Ugh, I know I'm being a baby about it but I really wanted to announce in another week...ON MY OWN. But, they were all so happy for me and it IS really only another week or so before I'm in the "safe zone"........
Ditto to Bobbie; how rude! But yeah, we make it super clear to the few people we tell in the beginning that its not common knowledge and they have to keep it quiet until we give the go ahead. Once I hear a heart beat I'll post it on FB and the I don't care who tells who..
I'm mad no one is fessing up to how they found out. Because if its on fb as like a status or something someone would have tagged you or something right? Like it seems like someone its running around telling even though they know they shouldn't.
Yeah, that's what really upset me. I am very close to my brother and I wanted to wait until the 1st Trimester was over before telling but then he heard it from a COP then found out the whole family knew but him. Obviously someone squealed but didn't tell him...very odd. DEF makes me mad but what can I do now? Just hope no one mentions it again on FB until I'm ready!!
I honestly have NO clue who could have blabbed. I asked the couple people I DID tell to please keep it to themselves because I wanted to wait until I was out of my 1st trimester to announce to anyone. I explained and yet....LEAK
I found out who it was and can't be mad anymore....it was my 89 yr old Grammy. She called EVERYONE wanting to share some good news and wanting to be able to tell everyone....then they told their kids (my cousins) who told other family friends. But, it's my Grammy and she was just excited (even though I asked her NOT to tell) and I can't blame her. I've had a hard time keeping it silent too....
I'm pretty sure the same will happen to me. My cousin's wedding is coming up exactly when I enter the second trimester/exactly when they say its safer to tell. But my parents and siblings know, and I can tell my dad is having a hard time not sharing the news. And my parents live down the street from the bride's parents.
I'm looking at the bright side and saying that if I'm not the one sharing the news then no one can blame me for stealing the thunder of the wedding.
