It's weird how two of the big life changing moments in my life, I expect people to just be happy for me and congratulate us.  Low and behold, somehow someone always make it about themselves.

When Chris and I were engaged some were unhappy that we were planning to get married before them, and then that Chris wasn't converting to Catholicism and I had to learn to drown out the negative noise and surround myself in the happy and positive.  It was a tough journey, but we made it through okay.  Similarly, when we started telling family and friends, we received some adverse reactions compared to what we expected.  Some of the reactions fell along the lines of not being informed before other people or that we have stripped ourselves away from our freedom now that we've signed up to have kids.

I was shocked, bothered and hurt.  I'm way more emotional than I usually am and these reactions really got to me.  This is my first pregnancy and I'm constantly worried about having a miscarriage and people can't really seem to get over themselves.  This isn't about anyone else but me and Chris.  We're just sharing the news to people we thought would want to know.  But I guess it makes me realize how stricter I have to be with those I surround myself with.  When it counts, you want to be around positive and good vibes only.
