Annoyed.

I am pretty upset.  A nestie who will remain nameless decided to tell one of DH's best friend's girlfriends that we were expecting.  We had planned to share the news with everyone yesterday and they already knew.

Yes I am fully aware this is a public board but it just made me sad to think that one of our regular posters would spread news after I asked not to say anything to people on fb or IRL.

It just sucks to have your news shared. Needless to say DH is not impressed.

  • I'm sorry. I'm sure it wasn't malicious, but it still stinks.

  • So sorry. That totally stinks. 

    We told my dad and brother in confidence.  And that was it...they were sworn to secrecy.  And guess what?  My cousins shared the news at the high school, where my best friend's sister was...and guess who knew before I told her?  My best friend.  I was sobbing as I confronted my dad and brother.  I know how it feels.  It stinks.  But once you have that little bundle in your arms, it will be a distant memory.  Hugs.

  • Oh no! I am sorry too. I remember how excited we were to tell our family and to have that deflated must be awful. I agree that once he/she arrives none of it will matter, but it does stink now.

  • You can name me.  I am so sorry Kristy.  It was completely innocent but I feel like you should know how it happened.  I was at work with said best friend?s GF and we were talking about having babies.  I just said ?oh, and aren?t you so excited???

    She immediately knew who I was talking about and was shocked!  I immediately knew she didn?t know and knew it was a secret.  I can?t blame her.  She was excited.  As am I for you!  I will honestly tell you that I thought that with your ticker it was public.  I am so sorry and saddened that I did this.  I am a huge advocate of people being outed before they have a chance to tell people on their own, whether it?s engagement, babies or whatever it is.  I actually take this type of situation seriously - when I see any Nesties in the hospital, I don't way anything on the Nest or talk about it with anyone of my friends and I take it just as seriously in this situation.  I stay quiet about it but I just thought you were out since you had a ticker.  I don?t know what else to tell you but please know that it was not intended.  L  I'm terribly sorry. 

  • Sad What a bummer. I'm sorry your news was shared, that has got to be so frustrating!!

    That is a bummer, I'm sorry that happened like that!  I can see from Skye's response what an easy mistake that could be to make though especially with how many pregnant ladies we have on here and if you're not on here all the time to know when someone's announced it, whether they've told anyone etc.

    Anyway, I can't believe you're 16 weeks already, I think I almost forgot you were pregnant!  Any sign of a cute little bump yet?

  • Well I can certainly see a little bump starting. Others not so much- soon enough though :)

  • I'm so sorry your moment was crushed, but I can see how it was an honest mistake.  :(
