So Thanksgiving weekend was quite eventful I must say....First, my mom couldn't help but tell a couple members of the family about the pregnancy before the planned Thanksgiving day- but I guess it's ok because they weren't able to make it up anyway-They were very excited and happy about. At Brad's parent's house- we made it over just in time for the before-dinner prayer. Brad chimed in at the very end telling our famiy how thankful we were to have them in our lives and that we are going to be adding to that family....they were just absolutely elated!! Brad's Grandma Betty was brought to tears because our little one will be her first Great Grandbaby. We received lots of hugs and congratulations! After that, we went over to my mom's and my Uncle John and cousin Julie were there and we shared the news with them- they too were super excited!
So now our families know. It's still a little nerve wrecking to tell people because that constant thought of "what if we lose the baby?" but i guess we can't think about that and just take it a day at a time. I'm definitely getting more and more excited as each day goes by.
On Friday we went to our firs OB appt- it was basically like an intake appt where I filled out all my paperwork regarding screenings and tests etc- I also did my bloodwork and got my flu and H1N1 shot. Our sonogram appt is for December 11th and I am definitely counting down the days to that appointment! I think once that appointment happens, then I'll be even closer to that realization that we are really having a baby! I think we will also know what are risks of miscarriage are as well. I don't know if I'm overreacting and making myself too worried about the whole thing- I know that can make things worse- so I just take things one day at a time and focus on other things going around me like work and my family and the next thing I know, I'll be past that 1st trimester!
On Saturday we were able to tell a few of our very closest friends about the pregnancy, so that was really exciting. They of course were happy and since one of them is pregnant too- they now have a buddy to share experiences with! I'm glad to have that as well.
I haven't had any symptoms really except occasional cramping and my boobs hurting occasionally. I'm pretty sure that I've had my first food aversion, which is really sad. One of the Drs had Del Taco and when I walked past it, it smelled SO BAD!! I had to practically run past it to avoid the stink! I LOVE Del Taco! I hope it was a fluke but we'll have to see what happens the next time I smell it. That part will have to be determined as time goes by.
Until the next appointment!

Oh man, I had that one time with Del Taco, too. Someone brought it back for lunch to the office and it LITERALLY smelled like poop!!! So gross!
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better, I was craving their fries a couple weeks later. I just hit the drive-thru instead of risking going inside. ;)
