So we had big family dinner which has been planned months in advance to celebrate elderly fils bday. I'm now 15 weeks pregnant and dh wanted to wait until today to tell his family because they would be all together (his bros and sisters are all spread around the country with their husbands/wives and kids. Anyway myself and Dhs struggle to have kids has been so secret (I have cried with my sil who I am extremely close with after the odd bottle of wine over the years). Anyway my dh got about 12 double yolks in his eggs over the past few weeks and has been sending the pics to Sil. Sil very tongue in cheek says oh when you have your babies starryeyed it's def going to be twins (twins also run in their family!).

Well dh chooses this moment to say "nah she is pregnant and it's only the one". Dh has a funny sense of humour and Sil said "oh pull the other one " because she totally thought he was joking. In that split second rather than leaving dh or myself have that one minute to say no we are finally expecting and hug everyone ss12 shouts out "my mom is pregnant!!!". In a big loud voice over the noise of all the adults talking :jawdrop: he knew how excited I was that Dhs family knew, I mentioned it several times in the car there... My Sil of course even though she has no relationship with BM does the nice oh that's great you will have another bro or sis. I turn to dh at this point and say "well that stole our thunder" sarcastically. Sil then turns to me and says you are not pregnant!! She starts crying and jumping up and down hugging me. I know it's petty because no one there have a rats ass about Bm but I felt like clobbering ss. I have waited for that moment for years. Anyway I got over it, dh had gone out for a few drinks with his brother who he rarely sees to celebrate and I swiftly dropped ss back
To BMs. I know it's petty to care but really wish he had chosen his moment a little better! Oh well family knows, they're thrilled and were thrilled guess that's all that matters

Yeah she's pregnant too , due around 8 days after me. Fun fun. We have known about bm for weeks. We only told ss yesterday as only had scan on Monday and wanted to make sure everything was ok as I had a miscarriage in the past

Thanks for the support ladies. Bm thankfully never really sat in my sot. He and bm were never married and conceived him the first night they slept together as stupid teens. They stayed together for about a year after ss was born and since then my dh has had him every weekend, that's heir arrangement. I usually feel much better about things after a good sleep but I must say I'm still feeling pretty annoyed about it. Especially because he wasn't all that excited about bm's baby the past few weeks but he just had to shout it out at that moment. It's hard because im not too sure my dh even noticed what I was upset about (he def noticed ss did it) I just waned to lock myself into the bathroom and cry at the time but the again my pregnancy hormones are bad at the moment and I am crying about everything, particularly ads on the tv lol!!

I know this entire pregnancy will be "my mom this and my mom that!". Actually doesn't bother me and I can usually tune the child out when he goes into this mode but it was just that one moment I wanted to savor, even sil couldn't stop crying saying how my dreams have finally come true, he mentioned bm again once over dinner and sil said something small and nice and immediately back to my
Baby. They def don't care about bm so at least family responded the way I hoped! Just makes me angry and cringe when I think of ss. I would love to bring it up to dh but there's no point, wouldn't accomplish anything and he would just say he is excited for mom!!
