Tonight I have a 'date' with a pregnant woman.
Well, I'm heading out with my hubby and some of his work mates for a final farewell before they all finish up [their being made redundant and he possibly is - a totally other post!] and one of them is pregnant. Since my mini meltdown 2 weeks ago I've protected myself from any pregnant people [I know] by bowing out of social engagements.
Pregnancy in my face
I don't know how I will handle tonight. I'm in a much better place now than I was 2 weeks ago but sometimes I even surprise myself with how I react to these kind of situations. Worse still in this particular instance is, that she is as pregnant as I should have been.
Putting on a brave face
Is what I am doing and thinking about the future and how it will be my turn soon!
Wish me luck!
I survived!
ReplyDeleteHad a great night, pregnant woman et al! I even sat beside here. No, not in some sadistic 'self harm' thing.
I figured face it head on! It worked. I was grand, chatted away with her, even joked about making her a birthing mix tape with songs such as 'Push it', 'Sweet Child of Mine' and 'Burning Ring of Fire' on it... [I think I will... he he he!]
Funny suggestions for birthing tape much appreciated!
