Telling People

Let's see who have I told........well, I told my Mom & Dad the Sunday I took the second pregnancy test. I told my coworker/friend/carpool buddy Mary the Monday after I tested. My Mom told Marty & Colby the Wednesday after I tested. I told Anita my coworker/friend the day after my first ultrasound.

The Friday after my ultrasound I went over to Becky & Josh's house to play Trivial Pursuit. Josh's sis-in-law Christy asked if we were still "trying" to which I replied "Actually, I am pregnant!" Becky & Josh were in the other room so I'm like "By the way I'm pregnant." hehe. So that was Becky & Josh and Josh's family.

Yesterday me & my brother Michael were driving in my car and we were talking about birth control and stuff. Michael asked if we were still trying and why wasn't it working? I couldn't stop laughing so finally I say "I wasn't going to tell you until later, but I'm pregnant!" he then preceded to hit me on the arm. No, he was very happy for us. He was asking why we are waiting to tell everyone, which I'm not sure why. It's soooo hard to keep a secret. It's especially hard when someone asks about you, like "How are you doing?" Or "Anything exciting going on?", which is what Doug's mom asked us the other night. At work I've actually had a few firefighters ask things like "No babies yet?" lol. Anyways, I wanted to do something special to tell everyone, something other than picking up the phone and calling them. But now most of my family knows. I may still do something special for them anyway, and there is still, of course, Doug's family!!

I still need to tell my sister Melissa and her son Mickey, and then we need to tell Doug's family. I think Doug feels a little bit wierd about telling everyone and I said to him "We've been married for almost 7 YEARS!" hehe. We were going to wait until we were 12 weeks along, but I don't know if I can keep this secret anymore! :-)

Oh, and Becky sent me the best email on Thursday! It said Happy 7 weeks and she said she'd like to throw a baby shower for me! Awwww, that made me feel so good! So Becky will throw the shower at her house and my mom will make her YUMMY food! It's still a few months away but let me tell you I'm looking foward to it!

Also, this week we've aquired some things: Anita said she'd give me her bassinet! Thank you Anita! And my mom told her hairdresser/friend Stacy that I was pregnant and Stacy gave my mom the crib she used for her kids! Yay, we need a crib for my house and my parents, so that was wonderful!
