Last night was exciting but tricky. I’ve had to deceive all of my closest friends and family. We all had a curry to celebrate my youngest brother’s graduation. I spoke to Nick before we left about a game plan if people spot that I’m not drinking. It didn’t really work. I was supposed to just say I’m driving and change the conversation. A few minutes into the meal a friend said “why aren’t you drinking Hannah?” with a smile on her face. I smiled back and said “haha, I wish Sarah, afraid not though, driving tonight that’s all.” I thought I had handled it well but she then asked again “no babies then?” I said “no not yet” and gave her a wink. Hopefully that rested her mind.
Then free wine was being passed around and it got to me. I poured myself half a glass and made Sarah aware of it “look Sarah, I’m having a drink” she laughed and Nick chipped in “you’ve driven her to drink Sarah”, a couple of chuckles later and the topic had changed. Phew.
Then I was given crab and normally would have devoured it but had to give it to someone next to me as I wasn’t sure on the rules of fish and shellfish! Although surrounded by friends we couldn’t help discuss things like my mum’s hen do and wedding that are coming up. I went round my best friend Emily’s house to see her kittens. I had recently read that kitten poo contains something that causes toxoplasmosis which can harm a foetus. So I had to be careful and wash my hands a lot. No one noticed.
I was alone with Emma at one point and I started to think ‘maybe I will tell her I think I’m pregnant, or I might be late and was thinking of taking a test’ but I held back. We share everything but this was something Nick and I should share together.
