[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like the type of woman who throws herself birthday dinners and expects others to pay, probably had a big expensive bachelorette party, expected a push gift, gossips incessantly, has hired a professional photographer for an engagement photoshoot, and has "live, laugh, love" hanging on a sponge painted wall somewhere in your house. Congrats on the baby, but get over yourself. [/quote]

Well, if I were to throw myself a big birthday dinner, is it wrong for me to expect that the attention would be on ME?  Or should I just suck it up when one of the guests chooses to announce her impressive job promotion - thus stealing my thunder?  If my fiance and I have an engagement party, should we simply expect another (more beautiful!) couple to stand up and announce their engagement, too?

It all gets so very ridiculous.

Okay, nice creative writing, PP.
You can't be for real. Steal your thunder?
You can't celebrate your birthday and share the excitement in the good fortune of a loved one at the same time? That's f-ed up.[/quote]

I'm not a jerk.  Really I'm not.  But might choose to tell my BFF my good news quietly and then let her choose whether or not to share it with everyone at the table.  Or I would just mention it in separate conversations with other people - not in a BIG grand announcement sort of way, just sort of in passing.
