Chad and I decided to tell my parents last night. I personally couldn’t hold it in any longer and didn’t want to be spending my usual Thursday evenings with her with this secret. We are too close for me to keep this in. To get the point across, I said “Wally wanted to tell you that he is going to be a big brother come July”. Once I finished the sentence tears started rolling down my mom’s eyes. She gave me a hug and wouldn’t let go. They were happy tears of course. This family finally has something special and happy to share.
I must admit I was nervous to tell them. I knew they would be beyond excited. I guess I was nervous because it still doesn’t seem real. I do admit it felt so wonderful to share our news with someone.
I have made a pact with myself to remain healthy and keep this baby healthy. I have already started taking progesterone every night and have a call in for a refill. Tomorrow I go to get my H1N1 flu shot and have set up two appointments already with my OBGYN. Thursday, November 10 at 8:30am we go in for a 7 ½ week ultrasound. They normally don’t do ultrasounds this early but with what happened last time they suggested it. On Monday, December 21 at 9:00 am we go in for another ultrasound at 9 weeks along with a pap smear. I can’t wait to see our baby at the first ultrasound. I am remaining positive through this and everything will be ok. I’ve already started talking to this baby. The car ride where it’s just the two of us always seems like the perfect time.
It amazes me that this little person is with me at every second of the day. I carry this little guy with me wherever I go. What an amazing feeling that is and what a bound we have already created.
I love you little guy/girl and we are going to get through this together as a team so that come the end of July we can meet face to face. Oh how you are loved already.
By the way, my gut instinct says it’s a girl. I know it’s early but I felt like the last one was a boy. You can’t underestimate a woman’s intuition.
