Well, in case you hadn't noticed, there's a bit of an event occurring in London tomorrow. Not fussed either way, but hey ho, we get a day off work, so great!
I will be spending the day with my two bridesmaids-to-be making eating scones and jam and making bunting for my own wedding in September.
This wedding has got me thinking though. The media are going on about it (as one would expect), but I think they will be worse after the wedding. Poor Kate, she will be the most watched newlywed in the world. "Is she?" "Isn't she?", what if she puts on a few pounds during the honeymoon? Will she be offended that the press are speculating about whether or not she is pregnant? Then my biggest fear of all, that she does fall pregnant immediately. Then we will have months of pregnancy bump photos etc- Kate stroking her bump, Wills and Kate holding hands, walking on the beach- bump proudly displayed, Wills stroking Kate's bump. Urgh. Pass me the sick bucket.
I myself am dreading this part of married life. I remember when my partner's brother got married, everyone was constantly looking at his wife's stomach and making comments behind her back or noticing if she wasn't drinking. This speculation went on for 3 years (that's how long it took her to get pregnant).
Before we were engaged we were constantly getting asked when we were going to start a family. My mum would say things like, "don't leave it too long, it might be too late"... (sadly she may be right :-/). I would always coyly say, "oh, sometime in the future" rather than, "we're trying it's not happening, it's got nothing to do with you, so PISS OFF!". Worse than this is my other half's Mum. We have loads of neices and nephews now, whenever I hold them or play with them I get comments like, "that suits you", "you're a natural" or the most hurtful of all, "you'd make a good mum". I am sure I would, I wish/hope that one day I will get the chance to be. I can never say this, just smile politely and change the subject.
Now we are engaged, the pressure is off for now, but I know it will be back on the minute we step out of that register office. A (male) colleague made a comment along the lines of "after you get married, it won't be long before you are the familiy way". If only it was that simple.
Hi - sorry, I just read your comment on my blog a minute ago, I've had my hands full recently!
ReplyDeleteAgree with you re: the wedding and any pregnancy announcements. I saw a tabloid heading claiming Kate was pregnant already! It's probably not true but it's going to be a nightmare!
I know. That's all I can say really. I know.
ReplyDeleteI just got my pregnancy test result and guess what, it was positive. It confirms I am 10 weeks pregnant after 5 years of Agony and trips to different hospitals and specialists. But unfortunately, I am sad, while I am supposed to be glad, I am sad because I would have been pregnant earlier than now, if I never listen only to my friend advice, I should have gotten my own baby earlier, believe in nature, i had Blocked Fallopian Tube I came across it success story of the great Eka who help women conceive with his spiritual method. I have bilateral blocked fallopian tubes and my doctor flush the tubes but it got blocked again and I got frustrated with the procedure and decided to research about other options for opening fallopian tube, after fail attempts to open it by doing the flushing my doc suggested. I did research online and I came across Eka email (dreka14demons@gmail.com) and his work, every information seems right to me and I was pleased, I told my doctor about the product I discover but he said there is no herbs and spiritual cleanse that can unblock tube naturally. I listen to him and went for IVF and after 2 failed attempts and total waste of money. I decided on my own to try DR Eka for his spiritual cleanse and pregnancy spell I got pregnant in 9 weeks. After this, my doc is steel amazed at this, I advise every other woman with fallopian tube issues ,pcos and other infertility problem to do their research and don’t base your option only on anyone’s advice, I did and it resulted in waste of money and time, contact Dr Eka on email: (dreka14demons@gmail.com) because I have discover DR Eka long time ago and I would have been pregnant earlier if I follow my heart and did the spell but I disregard it because of my doctor’s advice and I am annoyed at myself but at the same time I am happy that I made the wise decision by going back to Dr Eka for spiritual help. Now I am a strong believer of spiritual and natural medicine. Thank You. Contact Dr Eka on email for help on email: (dreka14demons@gmail.com).....
