Told another friend today

Filed Under Friends, Thoughts | Leave a Comment

Today I took Alison to a playgroup event. It was fine. Nothing exciting, nothing bad. It was nice to sit and relax with the moms.

Then after that, we went to meet a friend at Zuzu’s for lunch. If you haven’t been there, they have the most super Mexican food. Every time I go there, I get the Tacos Y Mas. Tacos and more. The “more” is quesadillas, burritos, taquitos, rice, beans, chips… it’s a lot of food. For like $8-9. Which is decent for a lunch out in Clayton.

Anyway, this is my friend Cara who I’ve been good friends with since childhood. I have to admit that I was a little nervous to tell her about the baby. We went to their house for dinner about a month ago and we were going to tell them, but they started talking about how all their friends were having kids and weren’t fun anymore…. so we decided that wasn’t good timing.

Luckily, all my apprehension about today was for nothing. We have a long-standing joke whenever we get together. We both always ask if the other is pregnant. I really expected her to be first, even though she says they want to wait longer. They’ve been married four years now. So when we sat down at the table, she was like, “So I’m not pregnant…are you?” I said, “yes” just really calmly. It was kind of funny.

The rest of the conversation was mostly about baby stuff. Which is fine. It helps me to be excited since I don’t really feel anything yet inside. (other than gas anyway)

I need to quit being scared of telling people. I was terrified to tell Alison’s parents, and that was fine. I was scared to tell Cara, and now that was fine, too. Sometimes it’s just a hard subject to bring up though. Like, “So, what’s new with you?” “Oh, nothing…got knocked up over the summer.”
