Missing Conference This Year: A Pity Party or a Blessing in Disguise?

[pamperedmom2owen]

Okay, I'm having a pity party for me. I have to miss conference this year, albeit for a wonderful reason (I'm due in August!). But I will probably be promoting April 1st! I'm going to miss all the fun. And I'm going to miss my chance to walk the stage! Grrr! Okay. I'm done now. I just had to vent to those who would truly understand!

i understand about missing conference. i had started saving to go but had to cancel it due to the fact that my children will be coming home from there grandparents that week and i wont have a baby sitter. i was really wanting to go since i have never been to one yet. oh well maybe next year. but on the bright side congrats on the baby!! do you know what you are having? i just love babies!!

Brooke--unless it's doctor recommended that you don't travel you could still go. You would be surprised how many waddlers there are at conference (women due in 5 weeks or less). If you truly can't make it they will allow you to walk at Leadership next year.

Thankfully, I will have dropped #4 late May or early June and will be going. My mom will be coming along to take care of the baby and because all of her sisters and brothers live in Chicago. I kept stressing about expressing enough milk to be gone for 4 days and then expressing during conference. What a nightmare!! It will be so much better to have the baby there, but not have to worry about it. My mother will be showing off her (hopefully) last grandchild. (I know that may sound harsh to some of you, but I was never into the Mommy-thing. Weird coming from a lady about to have 4 kids hahahahaha )

Thanks ladies. I'm due August 13th, but my son was born 4 weeks early. And we're in wave 3. My dr. has forbid me to go. Hopefully I can walk at leadership. Congrats on your baby ChefKearns! Funny, I always wanted lots of kids, but my hubby only wants two. I'm still trying to talk him into more!
