Bachelorette Party

My sister was getting married in October 2022 and her bachelorette party was at the end of July. The plan was we were both going to drive and meet at our other sister’s house who lived in the middle of all of us. Then we would load up in my car and drive to South Dakota for a weekend of rodeo, bars, and fun.

Obviously, I had to pack drinks that were non-alcoholic and snacks that I could keep down, since I was having morning sickness at this point. When my sister got in the passenger seat of my car, before we even started driving, she looked over, laughed and said, “Are you pregnant again or something?”. We exchanged a look and laugh that confirmed her statement and she was also shocked.

She was the only one who knew. My other sister did not find till after the first sonogram, like the rest of our family. That bachelorette trip was fun and full of many bathroom trips, crackers, and hugging the toilet – but NOT due to your typical bachelorette fun LOL.

When I got back to work on that Monday everyone who knew I was going on a bachelorette trip was making jokes like “oh partied to much” or “had to much fun this weekend”. I just nodded and brushed it off because I knew I couldn’t tell anyone about my pregnancy till after the first sonogram.

Those 10 weeks went by so fast! Before we knew it, it was sonogram day.
