Follow Up: Our talk with the In-laws

So we told my IL's about our IF and our upcoming IVF. It didn't go as planned because we were supposed to be doing dinner alone w them and my BIL and SIL showed up. So Ben ended up talking to his dad about it alone and we talked to his mom together about it once everyone left. They were supportive and I told them how much I didn't want anyone knowing. His mom asked me a lot of questions like if we had tried temping and if it was hard for me to be around my niece and I told her it isn't it just reaffirms my desire and reminds me what we're working toward.

I also talked to my mother in law about how worried I was that my father in law was going to be insensitive about the situation and I explained to her why.  She said, I know he can be insensitive and I will talk to him about it.

So it’s done.  I don’t feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I’m glad we have the support if we need it but I still think that if we didn’t need to tell them for scheduling purposes for Ben’s work I wouldn’t have told them at all.   I don’t like to think about anyone feeling sorry for me or wondering what’s going on or asking questions….

In other news I started my period on Saturday right before we left to go share our news, which sucked.  Sunday I just laid around the house and took advantage of the fact that my husband wanted to do nothing, which never happens!

 I hope everyone had a good weekend!
