Alright, so I've just had a shower, got some cookies and milk and have a cat snuggled up next to me. I'm ready to blog. In a continuation of my super long introductory posts, here's number 3. I hope some readers are enjoying themselves thus far.
Ok, so the day after I told my mom and grandparents, I went to tell my dad he was gonna be a grandpappy again (my half sister has 2, so it's the 3rd for him). I waited all day until he was due to be home from work, and then drove to his house. He wasn't home (argh!) so I called and luckily he was on his way. Thank god, cause it was boiling outside, and I hate sitting with my car running. Preggo was gonna start melting soon if he didn't show. A few minutes later he and my stepmother Maria got home, we went inside and I told him pretty much immediately. Again, I was pretty much on the verge of tears and he was probably thinking something was wrong, haha. He was really surprised, and really excited. A moment later Maria walked back in (she'd walked outside for something). So she looks at us, huge smiles on both our faces and is looking at us like "what's with you two?"
So my dad tells her I came to tell them I'm expecting a bean sprout, and she was just beside herself with surprise
Maria LOVES little babies and children so she got so excited, and we all hugged and had another fantastic moment.
I have to say, in these early days of telling everyone, I felt so incredibly blessed. This baby has made so many people happy for Nick and I, and so many people excited for us. I can't even say how much it means that people who I haven't seen for awhile, or may not have spoken to in awhile are just as happy for me as close friends I see regularly. My mom told me that the day after I told her, she ran into the mom of a girl I grew up with. I haven't seen this girl or her mother for years but she was so happy for me and my mom. It means a lot to hear things like this; it feels good to know people care so much. This baby will be surrounded by a lot of love.
The rest of the night was pretty normal for any other visit. We had some dinner, and I saw a movie with him and my brother which they had planned earlier. I was so relieved to have it all off my chest. I know many women wait til they're out of the 1st trimester to tell everyone but there was NO WAY I could hold it in til then. I'm still in the 1st trimester right now!
Since this entry was so "short", I'll add a picture that if you have me on facebook, you've probably already seen. A little over a week ago, I got to see the first images of my little sprout <3
Our little shithead!! Can't wait to see more of shim as the weeks go by :)
