What?
It couldn't have been planned!
Didn't your doctor tell you to wait?
How are you going to afford another baby?
I thought you were done...?
Why am I the last to know?
My mother's reaction to the news that I am pregnant. Notice the words congratulations & happy are absent from her initial barrage. My sister has about half of it on video. But she didn't really get the initial facial reaction. It can only be described as fury. It probably confused the hell out of Clownfish, who was otherwise so proud of himself for making the big announcement.
It took a couple of days. But she seems to have accepted it now, and has learned to put on a smiley face.
I'll take it.
My mom was less than pleased with my pregnancy announcement with Landon (too young; in law school; etc.) and it still stings a little to remember her face when I broke the news. I'm glad your mom has come around and know that you have lots of very excited bloggy friends!
ReplyDeleteI like your "boo" label.
ReplyDeleteInitial reactions are hard to control... hopefully her smiley face is (or will become) genuine.
Just to be clear, Boo is the in utero name of the baby :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not boo-ing mom.
I assume the baby gets a fish name after she is born.
ReplyDelete@ Sandy.
ReplyDeleteYep. Angelfish was Coco in utero.
