We've started telling people the "Big News" the last few days. So far we're keeping it to just close family/friends, until we make it safely through the first trimester (though my natural inclination is to tell everyone I have met in the last fifteen years, the cashier at WalMart, the random person I passed walking the dog today, and possibly the postman. But I digress...)
Telling my parents was so fun...We developed pictures from our trip to DC last month, and took one final picture to add to the pile of Nick and I holding a sign that said "We're Pregnant!" Both my parents started crying (with my mom screaming "Really?!? Really?!?!" No mom, this is all a joke in horrible taste.) I know my parents have wanted this so much for Nick and I, and it was incredible for us to be able to share this with them. They brought over a onsie they bought a while ago, in hopes that we would have pregnancy news to share with them at some point, and it has my very favorite on it: A KOALA!!! Now that is a perfect first baby's outfit...
Aside from them, Nick has told his brother, best friend, and I'm telling a few close friends in the next few days. Again, want to be careful to not spill the beans too early, but there have been so many supportive people on our journey to conception that have a right to share our joy.
Another big moment today - bought a BeBand and a couple of maternity pants. Right now the ol' ute is aching, and I read online that the BeBand can offer some pressure to relieve the soreness. The maternity pants were cute (and on sale!) and god knows I'm a girl that loves her bargains. The button on my super cute low rise pants turns out to be super not condusive to first trimester bloat, so instead of looking like the fat kid at the dinner table with her top button undone, I figured some preggo pants were a wise purchase. I must say, belly bands on pants = pure, unadultrated heaven. Why, oh why, have I not slipped into a pair of these lovelies sooner? I tried to convince Nick that he could benefit from a pair, but I think I only offended him. Oh well, that boy don't know what he's missing.
Got my labs back from our morning's blood draw...HcG is up to 270! (No wonder I feel crappy!) So far I've just been really tired, had a bit of a headache, and got an achy jayjay (well, achy uterus to be more specific). Felt a little sick to my stomach this morning, and the only thing that sounded good was biscuits and gravy from Village Inn. (Gross, I know.) My husband was beside himself with breakfast excitement...Poor man never gets to fulfill his breakfasty cravings!
Next week might try to knock out one of those new fangled pregnancy quizzes...
