To tell or not to tell
I've told two people at work, Kristy and Amanda. Kristy because I knew she would love to say, "I told you so." Amanda because she's about 5 months pregnant and I thought it would be fun to commiserate. And speaking of telling people...I am actually dreading telling my friend Mai. She tried to have a baby for a year with no success only to find out her eggs are not viable and her husband's swimmers aren't viable either. What are the odds of those two getting together, right? Anyways, she's the jealous type and I just know she'll break down and cry. And who could blame her? We've known each other for almost 20 years and in all that time, the one thing she has always wanted was a baby. Through bad boyfriends, and good boyfriends, and an ex-fiancee, she knew having a baby was what she wanted. I, on the other hand, flip-flopped. When I was young and idyllic, I thought about husbands and babies, but through my tumultuous 20's, I was content with just being happy with a guy. I even once told her I didn't want to get married, that living together was fine with me. Of course that changed when I met BWB. Now I'm married and I actually want to have kids with him. So I know my news will hurt her because even though she wont say it, she'll think why does a person like me get to have something that I didn't even want all that badly until 6 months ago and someone like her who has wanted it all her life be denied.
