So, we told the fam last Sunday, hopefully not prematurely, since the first screening test is in a couple days. I honestly didn’t really want to tell anyone. I don’t know why, but I didn’t find this an exciting thing. But, I had to put a date out there for the d-man since he DID want the world to know. We settled for Easter Sunday before really knowing what we were doing, but figuring we’d be at the in-laws (my in-laws). Easter Sunday became Easter Saturday due to my FIL having to work on Sunday.
So…we waited until everyone was there, which wasn’t until we were ready to eat dinner, really. D-man just kind of interrupted everyone and said, “K’s pregnant.” Just like that. Now…okay, I knew my MIL would have some crazy reaction, and she did. She shrieked and kissed me like eight times. Super Uncomfortable since my family is quite different but whatever. She did also ask why I took a test, did I feel sick? Really? I said, no the usual reason one takes a pregnancy test. Side note….even though baby A is almost 11 months old, so I am 11 months into this parenthood thing, she actually asked me if I could watch baby A while she left the room at some point on Sunday. Good lord, I wonder how two is going to be? We also got the “I knew sorta because you weren’t drinking” from everyone. Really? I’m usually two sheets to the wind on Easter Sunday? Apparently.
For my family, it was all phone calls, except my little brother who we told on a visit to see him in Florida. I wasn’t drinking so….oh, wait, I guess I am a lush. Anyway, the others were happy and surprised but nothing too crazy. I think my older brother was the most shocked as the whole previous IVF thing and now this just didn’t compute. Well, he’s not the only one…
So, cat is out of the family bag. Not so much with the rest of the world, and I am really nervous about the screening tests. I am also running through my head how to organize my life in late fall, typically a very busy time at work.
But, I can honestly say that I am at least still pregnant. I feel like shit every night. I am usually kind of sick throughout the day and when I am not concentrating on something, it’s worse. So, yea. I do hope that goes away as it is supposed to in a couple weeks. I am not a nausea fan.
