You guys I have my first bun in the oven. I'm so excited. Can you help me think of a creative way to tell DH?. also I'm really antsy about telling SD14 anything just yet because I don't want her busting my joy bubble.

I agree with foxy.... Tell DH, wait till ur 12 weeks or more, that will give the two of you some special time to enjoy the baby without sd ruining it. And, yes, leave it up to him to tell and deal with her response. If u and sd were close, Id say share in the joy, but by ur comment of not wanting her to burst ur bubble, I'm guessing this isn't the case?

Congratulations!
I like the booties idea. As for your SD, the idea her father had sex with you and made a baby will be the ultimate creepo factor. So let DH tell her and deal with her behaviour. And just keep smiling. The only way she can rain on your parade is if you LET HER! Just refuse to let her petty childish meangirl behaviour get you down. She can say all she wants (esp considering her mother's assistance... :? at making you miserable)but she cannot stop this baby train. And if she is REALLY evil just smile and say "And I hope no one EVER says the same thing to you one day. Because that kind of comment is shallow and childish. I am busy and don't have time for this." And walk away humming to yourself. Then inform DH to reign his meangirl in.

I would never do/say this.... But it was suggested by a friend to say something to the effect of "You should be careful how you conduct yourself.... Because, u can be replaced." LOL. Again wouldn't ever say it, but when SD is being a snot about the baby, it makes me laugh inside and I'm able to ignore, an her mothers drama, much more efficiently Biggrin

I love the bootie idea. I wouldn't tell anyone really till you've gotten past the first 12 weeks. SD can get over her bad self and go suck eggs. Do not let her petty jealousy ruin anything for you. I'd just be patting her head and saying "it must be awful to live with all that hate and envy inside" and walk away

I have a friend who took her family to dinner and when it was time for desert, she had the waiters bring a little jar of "banana baby food" with a tiny spoon for each Smile

Congrats! Yes, I would just tell DH initially and enjoy the first several weeks of pregnancy with just you two sharing in the joy. Don't let anyone rain on your parade.

Take DH out to dinner & bring a little pea pod & ask the waiter to serve it on a tiny plate before his first course. He'll be confused at first Smile
