MIL oops..

So I'm buddies with a girl on the GP board for TTC, and her name is the same as my MIL's.. so last week when I got the BFP I sent her an email. At least I thought I had... I accidentally sent it to MIL.

So this morning first thing I get a phone call from MIL, and she's like, yeah I got this email from you and I can't figure out what it's all about.  Me: oh.. I'm sorry that wasn't meant for you, it was meant for a friend, can you please delete it. 

Now I'm sure she is dying to know what it was all about, but it was in nestie lingo and she didn't get it! ... that was the email:

So I totally just posted on the board, but figured I would send you an email. So this month we weren't planning to TTC but decided to play the what happens, happens game.. and I got a BFP this morning! eeeek... so excited and kinda a little scared at the same time! Now I just need to think of a fun way to tell John!

 

I'm dying right now.. I so hope that she doesn't get it at all!!! lol.. but we may have to re-evaluate when we are going to tell our parents! We had planned to wait till Labor Day weekend. Now we shall see!

Re: MIL oops..

  • That is a definite oops!  Hopefully she is totally clueless when it comes to the abbreviations, but I have a feeling it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out something along the lines of whats up.  You may have to break the news to them a bit earlier than you planned.  Good luck!

  • Oh no! Well as long as she doesn't know what TTC and BFP are, you'll probably be ok.

  • I read this to my mom and she said 'huh? I don't get it" So hopefully she won't either, and if she does, I hope she keeps her mouth closed.

  • I ended up telling her, and my parents as well. Because I didn't want her figuring it out on the off chance. Turns out she thought I was planning a party without telling John about it hahahaha, I couldn't stop laughing when she told me that.

    It feels good to have it out in the open though! No worrying about what to do with BIL's wedding if I'm not feeling very energetic etc.

  • I was going to say "I hope she doesn't google either one of those terms!" At least the secret is out though! Yayy!

  • Was John with you when you told her?  It's probably best she didn't find out another way LOL that's funny she thought it was about a surprise party!

    No, I had her over for coffee, and John was at work.
