We had two of our closest friends over for dinner tonight and even though it’s early, we wanted to tell them both that we were pregnant, especially as I wouldn’t be having a drink and suspicions would be raised given it’s New Year. We also told them about our egg donation, and it felt so good to be talking about it, and being open about what we’ve been through finally. It feels like it’s definitely the right decision now to be more open about it, but I don’t regret not talking about it sooner with our first pregnancy. I guess everyone has to do these things at their own pace and when the time is right for them. Some people might be ready to talk about it from the start, while others may never want to reveal what they’ve been through. And both those options are the right thing to do. But for us, it feels like it’s definitely the right decision. The reaction from our friends was amazing, and they were just full of questions. All they cared about was we were able to have our little girl, whom they love as well, and now we’re getting another chance to have a baby. It definitely feels good to talk!
