We have a holiday party every year. H fries a turkey and drinks scotch outside with some guys during the time it cooks; I frantically try to host and finish cooking and chat with guests. Normally I have booze to assist in my ever so charming multi tasking ability. We do have friends coming in from out of town, and the wife is a doll and helps me tremendously...
We already have 20 people coming... I am thinking by the time everyone RSVPs there will probably be 30ish total.
I am freaking out. I will be 12w then. I feel comfortable telling people then, I guess, but I kind of wanted to wait to tell the masses until 14w-- only bc I wanted to get the ERA bloodwork completed and results back before- not a huge deal, just what I wanted originally. Side note: Some people will already know (siblings if they make it, my bf's (I am telling soon, I need other people besides my sister to talk to now), but many will not have any idea...
Tell me it will be OK. Tell me I will be able to handle this crowd, the cooking, and the fact I may not tell other people but word may get out.
Side note: I may close off my wall on FB after this w/e until the end of December b/c I really don't want stuff to slip...but need to talk to H about this also...
I'm freaking out over nothing...repeat...I must be freaking out over nothing...
Re: Having.Minor.Anxiety.
the party will be fine! no worries
i'd suggest telling everyone then if you're comfortable with that. i wouldn't want some friends to find out from other friends who already know. kwim?
Totally agree with this. It'll be fine!
We had between 30-40 people over Thanksgiving Eve. Not a single guest asked why I wasn't drinking.
You'll be fine. Have fun!
