Pity Party...Table for 1!

This blog post was written a while ago, but the news wasn't to be shared until certain people knew!!

I knew this day would be coming sooner than later...I had just hoped that it would come later after we finally got pregnant!

My best friend Nicole, the one who started this blog for me called me one morning to inform me that we were going to have dinner that night...seemed kind of weird considering we usually only do things on the weekends together, but I went with it!! I had called my husband and told him that it was strange...he suggested that they wanted to tell us they were expecting...I laughed it off and then thought about it...we were on the same exact cycle, so it could be possible. Of course curosity was killing this cat; I had to call her and put her on the spot...I bluntly asked her if she was pregnant and she said yes! I was so overcome with emotions: happy for them, jealous of them, upset at my body, angry, joyful, sorrow, pity for myself. I talked with her for a while about how she was doing with the news and than she asked if we still wanted to do dinner; I had told her no way!! Of course she thought I was kidding...but I wasn't and at that moment I told her that I needed a pity party for 1 that night and I started to bawl.

I called my husband on the way to my dentist appointment, crying like a baby who just had just been scolded. Who was I kidding attempting to go on with the rest of my day, especially at the dentist...I worked through it and walked into the office looking like a hot mess as I sit down the most adorable little 2 year old walks up to me holding out her arms...OMG who is trying to torture me!!! Not only did the torture end there...I get my upper jaw numbed to only be told that they couldn't do anything for me....REALLY!!!! So here I am; red eyes from crying, numb mouth (probably drolling on myself), and utterly sad.

So, after a few margaritas and one more crying fit I began to feel like a terrible friend. I then realized I needed to pull myself together and be HAPPY for her and her husband! So I did exactly what she would do when she finds out a friend is prego...I went and bought and adorable stuffed giraffe, a card (which I never do...LOL) and a bottle of bubbly to celebrate this amazing time in their lives. I showed up at their house to surprise them...all I wanted to do was give her a big hug and cry some happy tears with her...instead I show up to an empty house...they were out to dinner!!! I guess that is what I get for being selfish!!

We could not be happier for them!!  They are going to make awesome parents.  I am so excited to think that we could actually be pregnant together!
