I cannot relate since I was over the moon happy but in a quiet way when I found out. But I agree and understand that not everyone can feel that happy right away and it's a huge change and challenge so it's normal. I can relate to the story about not being able to tell anyone for weeks including my own mom and that was so tough.<br /><br />Thank you for your candid telling of this. Oliver is lucky to have you. =)Elegance and Mommyhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818930574734628758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502873828055424584.post-33753848357723007122014-04-16T06:30:30.516-05:002014-04-16T06:30:30.516-05:00loved reading your honesty about this. i've ne...loved reading your honesty about this. i've never had kids, so i liked reading your experience, and not to feel alone should the same happen to me!Elle Seeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700861489513811406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502873828055424584.post-24005952057876095402014-04-15T11:00:16.299-05:002014-04-15T11:00:16.299-05:00Beth this is such a sweet, honest post!

It is not something that can be taken lightly, and especially hard when you can't confide in anyone/ask advice on what you are going through those first few weeks. I still think that you are amazing, and have brought an adorable, smart little guy into the world!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497037707134979575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502873828055424584.post-4860879741820334912014-04-15T10:43:51.472-05:002014-04-15T10:43:51.472-05:00Oh, I was there with you (just a number of months ...Oh, I was there with you (just a number of months later). This little bean was completely planned (just really lucked out on the first "try"), and I remember thinking as I looked at the stick: "Shouldn't I be jumping?" but it was a busy day, and so I just kept going. Did the test, shoveled the driveway. And once I finally realized "oh shit, it's real" I wouldn't even let Scott talk about it for weeks. WEEKS. Mentioning it make me puke. Even once we announced it, I was still struggling with being happy. Now, I'm through the moon for my little bean, and am counting down the days until I get to meet her face to face. I think it's so great you posted this -- Jessica of MonsterCakes posted a similar post right when I was in the midst of it all, and I remember crying (as I seemed to do a lot of then) but happy tears because suddenly it meant I wasn't a freak of nature. I ended up emailing Jess and she sent me the best email response -- I actually wanted to frame and hang it in the nursery. I re-read that blog post and that email so many times and it helped more than I can express to just know someone out there felt the way I did. I really hope someone else gets the same reassurance from your post!Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841483032637664853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502873828055424584.post-39983576474560928702014-04-15T10:23:33.148-05:002014-04-15T10:23:33.148-05:00Thanks for sharing your story, Beth!

I think the reaction you had is normal, especially since you were you were a bit caught off guard and it must've been really hard to keep it from your mom at first.<br /><br />-Sharon<br /><a href="http://www.thetinyheart.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Tiny Heart</a> TheTinyHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182242917293717163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502873828055424584.post-79868113252298902532014-04-15T09:55:40.652-05:002014-04-15T09:55:40.652-05:00<3<3moonsweetiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15176041308577429729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502873828055424584.post-85979622086882498732014-04-15T09:36:38.486-05:002014-04-15T09:36:38.486-05:00That's very brave of you to share your story! ...That's very brave of you to share your story!
