etiquette

I’m not sure what the proper etiquette is when people keep asking if Brooke is pregnant yet. In all honestly we don’t know right now. Everyone says you should wait until you get through the first trimester to tell people in case you miscarry early. I feel weird about saying she isn’t pregnant if she is (whenever that is). Everyday people ask Brooke at work and it’s getting difficult for her. People don’t ask me as often, but I will still say regularly. One of the reasons I starting blogging was to get all this stress out of my system and another to inform people what we are up to without having to repeatedly tell people. What happens if our first insemination doesn’t get what we want? It will be more difficult to tell people who we aren’t pregnant yet. However, if it does work how to I not tell people when they ask?

We seem to be ready if it doesn’t work the first time, but I don’t know. I think it will be harder than we realize. I’m not sure why they have those stupid tests where you can test before your missed period. What they don’t tell you on the commercials is that the earlier you test the less accurate they are. We have spent the last year and then some taking the steps and doing all the footwork to be able to get pregnant and go through this process. Now we are in a period of waiting. Which nothing annoys me more. I am a person who takes action. Who needs to do something to get it done. Now we wait for the exact moment. We wait until the ovulation stick gives us that second line. We wait until we are able to take a pregnancy test. Then we wait those three minutes to inform us if our life is going to change indefinitely or not. What happens when that stick says pregnant? We have to wait longer to tell people. But people keep asking and its either more difficult to say no because we really aren’t or to lie when we are and say no.
