I'm cranky/disappointed

As you ladies know, I have two girls aged 4 and 2. Anyway, wasnt going to tell the kids about the bub until 12wks, and had it all planned out. We're 12 weeks the day before we go on our first family holidy (fly to gold coast for themeparks for 11days), so I was going to take a pg test with me, pee on it, and get the girls to tell me how many lines come up - great idea, and I was really jazzed about it.
Anywho, went to visit a friend today who had bub #3 on Tuesday night, and her mum said to Baylee (4yo) "won't it be nice when your baby bro/sis comes out of mummy's tummy! you'll be able to cuddle it soon!" I know she didn't mean it, but I was so disappointed. I didn't acknowledge what she said, but Bay just looked at me and looked at my tummy, with an expression that said "what's she talkign about mummy, why didn't you tell me". She hasn't mentioned it since, I'm not going to bring it up, just let it all slide, and hope that it's not too late (yes, I am delusional!)

Ohh isn't it a shame when your plans don't go to plan, maybe she has already forgotten about it or thinks WHEN mummy has a baby and doesn't think you are actually having one because you haven't told her....?

Did you tell the friend afterwards?

[cassvanm]

No, didn't have the heart to tell her!
Oh well, time will tell.

That is so disappointing. My FIL yelled out to me the other day "how does someone (meaning DD) feel about the new baby". I said please be quiet because they don't yet! He knew were weren't going to tell them yet!! Luckily for us, the kids didn't hear him, but how many times do you have to be told????

well both my girls (2&4) told me (at about 5 weeks) that there was a baby in my tummy before I had it confirmed! and they hadn't heard anything a baby before then!:cloud9:

Your friend must of still been on a birthing high I am sure on any other day she would of said nothing. I can understand why you would be disapointed you wanted to make it a special thing with your girls :fingerscrossed: miss 4 has forgotten about it and will be so excited about you peeing on a stick to see if she is going to be a big sister she wont even put 2 and 2 together.

I wont be making to much of a deal of it for a while 9 months is a LONG time for me so to a 2yr old its a life time.

If you dont want your friend to mention it again, i would maybe mention it, becasue she may mention it again, then a 4 y/o would work it out, good-luck what a lovely suprise!

Hi girls, thanks for your responses - wasn't expecting any, as it was more of a vent, but I do appreciate it.
Not going to mention it to my friend, coz it was her mother who said it, and I very rarely see her. Therefore shouldn't be a problem with it happening again before my 12wk.
Bay hasn't mentioned it again, so I'm hoping it's gone over her head!
Cheers
Cass
