You know, they don't bother me anymore. I guess being pregnant makes them more bearable. But this one got under my skin.
You see, she is four weeks pregnant.
That's right.
I said four.
I will be five tomorrow and have no plans of even breathing a word of it until twelve or thirteen weeks. Probably even later than that if it's twins. Even then I will be waiting for something bad to happen. For the other shoe to drop.
Are people for real?
I wish I could be so effing ignorant.

I so understand what you mean. I still bristle at such early announcements on Facebook. Or really thoughtless things that people say about their kids. It makes me a little crazy and I don't think I'll ever get over that. You're in my thoughts and I hope all is going well!
ReplyDeleteSigh.... I had a friend text me all excited telling me that she was pregnant. I hadnt talked to her in over a year so I was a bit surprised. She told me the names they had etc so I asked how far along she was and she says, we just found out. Only 4 weeks. I thought REALLY?
ReplyDeleteI guess we just know better.
Unfortunately a few weeks later she text me that she miscarried:(
I had a friend announce at 4 weeks, too! It amazes me how confident and blissfully ignorant people can be. I would dare tell anyone, besides my internet peeps, until much later!
ReplyDeleteI definitely know what you mean! I feel like everyone I know in regular life assumes from the positive pee stick that they're going to bring home a healthy baby in 9 months! I can't imagine being that relaxed, or naive. I have a friend who stopped on the way home from peeing on the stick in the store to buy a pregnancy book! I couldn't even look at those until so much later!!
ReplyDeleteBlissful ignorance can bite you in the butt. It's great to have, but the statistics don't lie. There's a reason people don't announce until 12 to 13 weeks.
ReplyDeleteI announced my pregnancy early. Just simply because I had always announced it early, and I felt like if I didn't this time I would be jinxing myself. Praying for a healthy pregnancy for the both of us! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI know you're holding your boys at this point, but I just wanted to comment anyway (Cuz I can, Lolz). I announced the 1st time I was pregnant to everyone at 4weeks. I was so excited and we wanted a baby so badly. When I lost it a week later I felt so stupid and never announced before 9/10 weeks again. I hated untelling ppl, it was miserable. But I can understand someone being excited their first time and wanting the whole world to know. You kind of are ignorant and think you're untouchable the 1st time. When you're new to the pregnancy world and don't have any knowledge/ experience with IF it just seems normal to announce as soon as you know. KWIM?
