I'm a little over 6 months pregnant and I didn't want a shower because my family is awful, with the exception of my parents and grandmother. We decided just to have a gender reveal party with the people we are close to in this town. My husband and I moved two hours away from our families to be with my parents. I invited two friends from out of town and they both came. One was my maid of honor and the other was a bridesmaid in my wedding. One of the only ones who was not awful during the entire process. Anyway, we had the party and the one girl, who has been my friend since we were in high school basically told me how awful I looked all night.

My husband and I tried for probably 6 months to get pregnant and it didn't happen. The one month we didn't try it worked. I don't know what was going on with my emotions then, but I felt so disconnected from myself and wasn't excited. My baby is finally bigger and it's becoming more real and I was pretty happy until this party. I even felt sexy with my belly. And then she comes in and shatters everything. My self esteem is out the window and I'm sitting here crying over this petty bullshit. I'm gonna assume it's the hormones because I feel like I would't react like this otherwise. She said all night that my ass is humungous and I look so fat. And at the time I was like...uhhh that's what happens when you have a human being inside of you. You gain weight..but then people start telling me all the shit she's saying to them...during the party..how my skin looks awful and I used to have such nice skin in high school and now she looks better than me. Looking at it now, I'm like seriously? We are 24 years old. You had to wait until I was pregnant to "have something on me?"

Idk..my husband won't tell me the things she said to him. He says It's only going to upset me. Everyone left and she invited herself to stay the night. She left to shower and my husband took me to bed. I told my grandma to tell her good night if she came back down and apparently she's having a fit that I went to bed..Sorry that I'm tired and pregnant and would like to go crying private.

Thanks for making me feel awful about myself. And I know I should't listen to her but I can't stop...Now I look at myself and I feel so disgusting. :(
