Sharing the News… July 26, 2007
So, even though I still I feel like I am going to burst with our news, we have kept it to ourselves… until now. Other than the receptionist at the Dr, the first person I told was my Physical Therapist – Laura. Didn’t really plan it that way, but a few months ago I had to tell my Dr and PT that we were tying b/c I didn’t want to try the more aggressive cortisone shot for my foot. So, when Laura was thinking about trying ultrasound on my foot, she asked if I knew anything, and I was like actually… It was fun telling her!
After PT, we went over to my parent’s house for family dinner night to celebrate Bryan’s belated birthday. After dinner and desert, we decided to tell my parents, Lindsay and Bryan. So, after a funny story from Dad, I asked everyone if they wanted hear something else cool. Then I told them that I am pregnant! What a fun reaction!!!!
After the shock wore off a tad, Mom disappeared and came back with the first present for baby – a funny little bendy frame and a journal for me. So typical Mom to have a present ready for just such an occasion!
Bobby asked Dad about that “cash prize” for the first grandchild that he had previously mentioned, and while everyone laughed, Dad produce a $100 bill for the baby. It was cute.
I think Lindsay was the funniest wondering if there were things that I couldn’t do/eat because she had “heard” things. She didn’t take the news about deli meats too well, and I think Bryan started to break out in hives. But he did return later with a Pottery Barn Kids catalogue for us to look at.
All in all it was a fun night. And while I was worried about crowding Bryan’s birthday, I think it turned out well.
On the way home, we decided to call Bobby’s sister, Jen, to tell her. We actually told while she was on hold on the other line with Dell, and she actually screamed. She was really awesome about the whole thing.
Together we decided it would be best to hold of telling Bobby’s parents yet b/c Jordan and Ethan are still staying at the house with them. We want to wait to tell the kids until 12 weeks, so it looks like we will hold off telling his parent’s until the kids go home, which is right after our first appt. So, I guess we will have more to tell them then too. I just hope they understand – I know you are reading this, so please understand why we waited.
So, now that some people know, I think it makes concentrating at work even harder somehow. Still feeling about the same – some nausea, tummy feels full, but nothing too bad. I just can’t wait until the first appt.
