Hi Ammaki Yup, DH and I didn't tell anybody we were TTC, mainly because we had only been a couple for a very short time and knew we'd get all the 'But what if the relationship doesn't last?' tripe, but also because I was 20 and DH was 21. We also didn't bother telling people we were TTC #2, but then a week after I went off the Pill DH's mum died so we were kind of tied up with all of that stuff, it didn't feel right to be actively trying for a baby when we'd just had our family plunged into absolute chaos (turns out DD2 was conceived 3 days before MIL died anyway!). And because of that, we didn't even tell anybody when we knew we were pregnant - waited until 12 weeks because we wanted to wait till things with the family settled down, and also because we lost our second (unplanned) baby on Christmas Eve the year before, and were scared of it happening again (thankfully we hadn't told anybody about that one yet, I had a sneaky feeling it wasn't going to make it and I was right).
Whatever happens, you will get the snide comments from people - if you don't tell people you're TTC, then you'll get the comments when you announce your pregnancy! Plus, I think it's kind of fun to keep your little secrets for a while... gives you that awesome, 'I know something *you* don't know!' feeling, hehehe. I'm childish, I know
Mon, that is great news about Serenity!! Sounds like she's doing really well, I'm so pleased for you guys Keep us updated on her progress, I love hearing about how she's doing Fingers crossed she will continue to thrive and will be home with you and her siblings very soon!
AFM... another boring day at Casa Glamourcide Mum just told me my nanna might be coming up for mum's birthday in a couple of weeks, which will be cool because she lives 700k away and has only met DD1 twice, and hasn't met DD2 yet... but on the other hand, DH and I were going down for a little holiday at the end of November anyway, so it's neither here nor there Will be great to see her though, she was always my favourite relative
Hope everyone else is doing well!
