Big weekend

I've got a pretty big weekend on tap. I predict there will be lots of outing, as well as some admitting and confessing.

First, we have the Big Wedding. The wedding for the couple that I went on the bachelorette weekend from hell, and DH went on the bachelor weekend which coincided with my beta day. This should be quite the affair - 230-ish people, in a very fancy new modern art museum downtown. I'm sure it will be fabulous. But, as I am part of a drinking crowd, it will be very much noticed when I do not partake.

So I imagine I will be outed this weekend with many of our friends. Eh, I'm fine with it. Sure, it is earlier than I would want to tell people, but I'm feeling pretty good after the great u/s yesterday, and keep reminding myself that this is a genetically tested embie, so my risk of miscarriage at this point is a lot less.

Second, my dad and stepmother are in town for the weekend, to watch my niece while my bro and SIL attend all the wedding festivities. While I had to tell them last September that we were going through IF, I have not told them any details, they do not know about this FET or pregnancy.

But this weekend, I'm going to tell them. Confess, if you will. We are taking Dad to a Cubs game on Sunday, so I will be able to talk to him without my stepmom first. Which I'm glad about - I want to share the moment with him, without my stepmom taking over, which she is wont to do. We'll see her right after the game, and tell her then.

So a big weekend. Coming out of the closet. Wish me luck.

  4. Oooooo, good luck! I hope all the confessing goes well. Probably people won't notice that you're not drinking as they'll be too busy getting sloshed themselves. Let us know how it goes!

  6. Hope you get a fantastic reaction from your Dad. So glad you saw a great heartbeat!
    If you're not ready to out yourself yet to friends, claim to be the designated driver and stick to a cranberry juice (a fake cranberry and vodka).
