not excited for me 😢😢😢
I decided that I wanted to tell my parents and my sister about my pregnancy. My sister took it well but then called back and made sure I was taking all of the proper measures for baby and I.
When I told my dad, he seemed a little excited but more so worried about his little girl.
When I told my mom, she started lecturing me about losing weight before I got pregnant, not having a full time job, and not having a teaching job. My husband has a supportive job and I work part time as a special education aid at least 25 hours a week if not more(sometimes I sub if there is an emergency). I then went into the bathroom and sobbed uncontrollably for almost 10 minutes. It broke my heart that she doesn't care about my feelings. I am 28 years old and married unlike my first pregnancy eight out of high school (also my husband's child).
My eight year old daughter won't find out until I am 10 weeks along because I don't want to lose it and break her heart.
My husband's family supports us and so do the few closest friends I have told. I just feel kind of down because my own mother doesn't support me. I am only at 5 weeks but if my mom doesn't come around then she doesn't have to be part of my life or her future grandchild's life.
Update: We had a huge talk today and honestly things are looking up. She seemed pretty excited when I told her that my massage therapist sensed a boy at my appointment and I did the pendulum test and it also said boy. Hopefully things keep looking up.
