This sucks....

[ouokie]

So I found out last night (through Facebook) that my brother and his wife are expecting. I didn't think it would affect me like it did, but it did. I'm still all mopy (?) and emotional feeling. I texted him to find out why he didn't text me first. He claims he did but it didn't go through. I should be happy for them (especially for my DD that she will have another cousin), but I can't. Maybe in a couple of days these feelings will pass. Just venting, thought you ladies would understand what I am going through.

*hugs* And finding out anything major from a close family member through facebook is just the worst.

I understand and can relate. My good friend informed me via text this week she's 10 weeks along. We had always talked about being pregnant together and while I'm happy for her I am more than ready for my turn too after a year. Hang in there the initial sting has wore off for me now so I think it does get better. Hugs!

((ouokie)) that's sucks that you had to find out through Facebook. I would strangle my brother if I found out that way or through text message. News like that deserves a phone call.

I'm sorry. I would have been upset to find out through FB as well, that kind of news really needs to be delivered over the phone.

I'm kind of glad he didn't give me the news over the phone that way if I needed to cry (which I did) then he wouldn't be able to tell.

That sucks all the way around, it's ok to feel the way you do

Fair enough. Sending hugs!

I'm sorry, what a crappy way to get such news. Even a text or heads up from another family member would have been better than seeing on FB.

i'm very thankful thus far i've only found out about acquaintances and casual friends who are expecting, and it sucks. so i can't imagine how much it sucks when it's someone so close!

[shauni27]

I'm so sorry. It is an extra sting I imagine because of it being your brother and because of the way you found out. All in all just craptastic. Big hugs.

[EllenGriswold]

That sucks. And then I feel like it sucks more because of the guilty feeling that you aren't happy enough for them. But totally normal. Hugs.

I'm sorry. ((Hugs))
