I posted earlier about how I was nervous about telling the world. My family in particular.. I spoke with my mom today about what we were doing for her birthday and for Mothers Day. Apparently, because my 17 year old sister was arrested last week, we're not doing anything as far as she knows because "they're just trying to handle the situation and let everything blow over" I had planned on telling my mom and everyone else Mothers Day weekend as its a few days after my 12 week scan. Ill actually be 13 weeks and im not sure how much time I have left to tell them before it becomes obvious and they figure it out. I have a sweet way of telling them but Im just so disappointed that this has become such a big deal that they dont even want to celebrate as a family and even if we do get together, my sister may not be there if shes still able to go on her senior trip. This is my first baby, even though the circumstances aren't ideal, i'm still excited and I want them to be part of it too. Maybe im being selfish, I just dont want this to take away from our excitement or become another "shame" on the family. Especially since both of my sisters are always getting into something and its usually somehow blamed on following me when I have nothing to do with the decisions their making and personally, I think theyre normal dumb high school choices.. im trying to have peace of mind about the situation, but it seems so much more diffcult regaurding my own little one. I just want it to be special and just as loved as the other kids in my family.
