Mum's the word...

I made pun on the word "mum" - and I didn't even mean to...

So we are a FEW short days away from the end of the first trimester! And besides the 2 week period of spotting (thank god that is over with!!) and the exhaustion, this pregnancy-thing hasn't been all that bad. Of course, I'm sure Daddy will disagree with me because he's been the one to have to listen to me whine at night when I'm tired and can't sleep, or my hips hurt, or my boobs hurt or when I just burb for no reason. Which, by the way, Daddy already thought was gross, now I'm sure he's just horrified! But other than my complaining, it's been good.

The last two weeks has been difficult, only in the sense that I'm getting really antsy and it's getting harder not to say anything. When we see family or friends, I want to tell them. Especially those who know that this hasn't been easy for us, I really want to tell them so they don't give me the "I'm so sorry look". Not that they are doing that, but my pregnant mind thinks they could be. We saw Steve & Carolyn and Steve & Ann last week and I really, really wanted to say something. I'm actually finding that I'm not talking to a lot of people (specifically Moira, Sharon, Bridget, & Chris) for fear that I'll slip. Because those are the people on my side that I'm telling first, and I don't necessarily trust myself.

But our next Dr appt is Sept 21st. I checked with the nurse today and they'll do a few routine tests (pap smear) but then we'll also listen to the heartbeat. So that will be very exciting! And then once that appointment is over and everything goes okay - I'll be more than ready to tell people! Less than 2 weeks now...
