My wonderful inlaws (and I’m not just saying that because I found out they occasionally stop by here and read my ramblings) are here spending the night. We just had a serious talk and my poor MIL didn’t know how to bring up the topic of discussion. Every once in awhile she reads my blog. I didn’t know that. They are still on dial-up and blogs take forever to download, especially blogs with pictures. Now I’m stalling…
She found out about my miscarriage by reading my blog. I know that’s terrible. Let me explain. When we talked about who we should tell, we thought it might be best if we didn’t call his parents. Benny thought his mom would worry about us even more than she already does as a mother. Since I didn’t know she stops by my blog, I didn’t think she’d find out. But she did. It put her in a position of having to figure out how to talk to me about it. YUK! I love my inlaws. I don’t set out to make them worry or make them uncomfortable. So here is my official apology and future promise:
Pete & Margie, I am sorry for not telling you before I sent that news into cyberspace and I hereby promise to call you in the future with any such news BEFORE I release it to non-family members. I did not mean to put you in an awkward position and I am glad you still love me. 🙂
Maybe we are more alike than I thought. I believe too much information is usually better than not enough. What can I say? Sometimes I’m an idiot. This is actually strike 2 for me because this is also how she found out about my tattoo. oops. That was 2 years ago, I figured she hasn’t been back since.
FYI…I could use your prayers as I’m still recovering emotionally from the miscarriage. My body may be almost back to normal, but my heart still hurts.
It was so great to see you today! We need to have coffee. I posted photo’s of Tonya’s party on my site.

Incredibly awkward, I’m sure. Yet, once again, I admire you, dear Niki, for being willing to humble yourself and do the right thing, even when it is uncomfortable. I’m sure your inlaws are now just glad to have everything out in the open and be better able to comfort you.
Praying for you today as your heart continues to heal.

Jan, it’s always great hanging out with you. 🙂
Thanks for the grace filled words Pam! I felt like such a jerk. It does feel good to know it’s not a secret from anyone anymore. There is freedom in that.
Heather – since when do you only have 1 word for me? lol
To all: Thanks for the prayers!
