I have a dilemma that I hope you ladies can help me with. I just found out that I am pregnant with baby number 5! My older children are from my previous marriage - DD - 18, DS -17, DS- 14. My husband and I have a DD that will be 1 next week. My issue is with my sis. She has 2 children from her previous marriage, but has been unable to have a baby with her new husband. They lost a baby at 18 weeks 2 years ago and it was devastating for her. She is 2 years older than me, so she will be 40 this summer. They are still trying but she knows her opportunity is shrinking.
So now I am pregnant again but we have not announced it yet. Her husband contacted me to surprise her with a plane ticket to come visit me in a few weeks. I would love to see her, but worry about how she will take the news of me being pregnant again. Do I tell her before she comes? Do I tell her husband before he buys the ticket and see if he thinks it will be an issue? Do I tell her while she is here? I just worry about ruining her trip. If I wait until after the trip I think she'd be mad I didn't tell her while she is here. We weren't planning on announcing the pregnancy for another month or two, but now I think I should probably tell her. I just don't know when....
So what would y'all do? No one in real life (except MIL/FIL) know I am pregnant, so I don't have anyone else to bounce this issue off of. TIA!
