On being excited for her
So a girl I work with told a few of us yesterday that she's pregnant and let me say I AM SUPER EXCITED FOR HER!
What's got me confused is that we're super close working friends, with a lot in common, BUT she put me on a limited profile on Facebook...I'm assuming it's becuase she didn't want us to know before you told the big guys...but now I feel like I shouldn't be THIS excited for someone who doesn't even consider me close enough to be full FB friends.
And this is totally childish to be concerned with our friendship level on FB, but lets be honest, no one brings in photo albumns to work anymore to show off, they put pictures up on facebook and all the status updates are fun. (FYI, she didn't put me on her limited profile until what I assume is around the time she found out she was pregnant, I used to see everything)
Re: On being excited for her
I know what you mean... I always get super over the top excited for my friends when they are pregnant too.
I really think that, in this instance, she did it for the sole purpose of the two of you being coworkers. You were friends with her on Facebook w/ full profile viewing option before she found out she was pregnant and, when she found out she was pregnant she put you on limited. That really sounds to me like she is just protecting herself at work and making sure that nothing gets out before she wants it to.
You can always talk to her if it makes you feel really bad, but I don't think you should alter your excitement towards her good news. Stay excited for her, I bet it makes her really happy!
Thanks....you know, I always over evaluate everything. I need other people to inject rational thoughts in my brain!
Knowing how other people really use facebook is helpful!
