Need Opinions on a Family Matter

in September 2012 Weddings
Hey ladies!  I got married last september and my sister-in-law is getting married this September.  She knows that DH and I are trying for a baby and she has joked dont go into labor during dinner because its $120 a plate.  DH and I just found out we are expecting will be due 5 days before her wedding and dont know how to tell her.  I feel like I have overshadowed much of her engagement and wedding bliss because when she got engaged DH and I had just set our date and everyone was more enthused about our wedding and we had a lot of DIY involving the whole family.   Now I am worried that we will be overshadowing her wedding with the first grandchild on their side.  How would you feel in a similar situation and any ideas on how to tell her.  Thanks in advance and good luck with the planning :)

    I don't have any advice right now, but I made a post a few weeks ago in the heat of the moment and took it down right after, just in case the person it was about was a lurker on our board. If there is any chance that your FSIL is on the knot, this might cause a bigger problem for you.

    While I think it's admirable for you to be this considerate about your FSIL's feelings, the truth is that life happens. It's not like you can change your due date to accommodate her. And it's not like you purposely timed your pregnancy to coincide with her wedding. I hope your FSIL is understanding and happy for you. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

    First of all, CONGRATS!! You must be so excited!
    I can appreciate your concern, but hopefully the whole family can share in the excitement of both events. Your families are truly blessed to have so much to celebrate :)

    I agree with Dirty mind you - you might want to be careful with posting that on a board she may be frequenting... eek.

    She doesnt have the internet at home.  Only facebook on her phone :) Thank you for your concern though! and Thank you to everyone for your words of encouragement.  She will be one of the first to know

    I would just tell her. Life happens. You can't stop living your life over someone's wedding, even if it's family. It's nice you're being considerate and concerned about their feelings, but at this point there isn't really any way to change that you're pregnant (congrats, btw!).

    If it were me, I would consider talking to my family about it. Let them know that you dont want to steal her thunder and to make sure they make just as big a fuss over her as they did you.  congratulations!
