Hey ladies,
You know me a little by now. I'm not sure how to link my previous post that's on here, but I don't know if it really matters too much. If any of you can help me link it I will.
The gist of my background is this:
*TRIGGER*
We lost our baby at 18 weeks back in February and FIL was...less than pleasant about it.
Needless to say I've not been in contact with him at all and DH is keeping him at a distance and refusing to celebrate any holidays with him. He's adamant about taking a LONG break from any extended family while we've worked through this stressful year.
My update is this:
We just found out we're expecting again.
I'm in shock and I'm terrified and I honestly don't really know what to feel right now. This was NOT planned or expected. We weren't trying for this at all so it's caught both of us off guard and has sort of pushed me into a tailspin of emotions right now.
Needless to say I'm NOT inclined to tell FIL anything about anything. And we're hesitating to tell any other family members (except maybe my mom whose been in the same situation as I). BUT, I thought you ladies might like to know. You've all been so supportive and kind and encouraging through this tumultous year.
Basically, ladies, I'm grateful for you and I know that you'll help me get through the stress and see the silver lining in all of this.
And, you'll give me sound advice on how to handle FIL if the need arises, yes?
