I heard through the grapevine that a friend of mine is pregnant after trying for many years. I think it really awesome and her and her hubby are really cool people. I would like to do something to congratulate them but they aren't close friends, I don't want to seem like a stalker. Should I just send a "congratulations" card or call and leave a message saying congrats? Also I didn't actually hear it from them, but from a mutual friend. Would it seem too gossipy for me to acknowledge it, since they haven't told me in person?
I think it's really sweet of you and not gossipy at all, versus, say, if something bad happened to her. I think with good news, it's different.
I would think a card saying congratualtions is fine, and say you heard it from a friend, but if you name the friend, ask the mutual friend first if it is okay that you say that it was she who told you.
i think that's really sweet of you. the only thing i would be careful of is, do you know how far along she is? if it's very early on, that might be why they haven't told many people, and you might want to wait a few weeks just to be safe.
I think it is sweet and not stalkerish at all. Just send it around the 3 month mark to be safe-some people don't believe in announcing a pregnancy until the 3rd month.
