She didnt- but only because BM was suddenly rushed to hosp with an ectopic the night before the wedding!!

She told us on xmas eve that she is pg- which is great, its their 1st child and we cant wait to have a little addition to the family- but then she mentioned that she was going to announce it at the wedding until the drama with my BM.

This just left a bad taste in my mouth, our wedding day should not be a day for people to make announcements without us knowing. I'm glad she didnt do it. but the fact she was even considering it makes me feel a bit sad really

Well..............am I??????

We got married 4 months after BIL and SIL, so were already engaged at their wedding. DF (as he was) and I decided not to say anything to anyone about our own wedding since it wasn't "our day".

BIL kept telling everyone though

Thanks

Right Lapin.

Well, the lack of sideboard would explain my inability to find it.

I don't have a sideboard either, heck, I dont even have a beanbag.

Should I be concerned?

Thanks

mummy2olivia · 30/12/2007 17:38

That is harsh- I'm not that bad!!!! A baby cant help when its born!!

Just to add another spin on things surely it's the best man you should be annoyed with? He was the one who was going to announce it after all.

Thanks

Sorry if I was snappy. I have a temperature, horrible cold and had about four hours sleep last night before DS2 woke up asking to see "pink sky, peez" and bounced all over me shouting "boing".

Thanks

lapinewyear · 30/12/2007 17:54

I love that "peez"

Thanks

lapinewyear · 30/12/2007 17:54

DS (21m) has just shouted "GIT!"

Thanks

hunkermunker · 30/12/2007 17:56

Me too (except this morning I could've done with hearing it an hour later...!).

He says it utterly plaintively when it's something I cannot make happen - like "more aeroplane" - he's not worked out I can't make them fly over, low, into the local RAF base at will!

Thanks

mummy2olivia · 30/12/2007 17:56

Thats ok hunker- I'm really not a bridezilla. absolutely not.

hunkermunker · 30/12/2007 17:56

Was it followed by "off the Wii, it's my turn!"?

(Have emailed you, btw, Lapin).

Thanks

mummy2olivia · 30/12/2007 17:57

It wasnt about 'stealing my thunder' its just about manners thats all.

hunkermunker · 30/12/2007 17:57

Do hope your BM is OK too. Your SIL sounds like she might need some supportive eye-rolling done in her direction if she displays precious tendencies towards being pg too - she may well be the only woman ever to have had a baby, eh?

Thanks

lapinewyear · 30/12/2007 17:58

Ah, hunker, he needs to talk to ME about the planes

OK peeez let's get off poor mummy2olivia's thread!

Thanks

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 30/12/2007 18:00

She prob saw it as a opportunity to tell everyone in one go. At our wedding there had been 2 recent engagements so Dh congratulated them in his speech. Not a problem.

Thanks

2shoes · 30/12/2007 18:02

in answer to the op. I did tell my sil I was expecting on her dd's wedding day. but it was the only way i could get a good photo of her(she hates having her photo taken.

Thanks

mummy2olivia · 30/12/2007 18:04

Maybe- some women do tend to get a bit like that dont they?

MummytoOlivia

I don't think you are unreasonable, I gather you are ttc, did your sil know this?

I know from bitter experience the pain and anguish that can be caused by a) not conceiving and b) seemingly everyone around you does conceive incredibly easily.

I know it has been done to death but I can only echo everyone else and say that the best thing to do is to relax and try to make love rather than make a baby .

BTW it took me 5 years to realise there was some sense in that advise

Good luck, just enjoy being with the man of your dreams

Thanks
