Well, I think we have officially told everyone our news! I finally broke down and told work yesterday and I'm still enjoying the trickle down effect of the news spreading to the other departments. It's been really fun actually with all the congratulations and hugs that I've been receiving! One of the ladies who I work with who is so sweet and a grandmother herself even started crying and that of course made me cry! Brad has kind of been in charge of telling the world because I've been a big chicken about it, so this was my first time really telling people in person that I'm pregnant, if you can believe that. It's really fun to say by the way! Of course, I'm the 4th girl here at work who has announced their pregnancy in the last year or so, so I'm getting lots of there must be something in the water or it must be contagious comments - I want to say, oh well if that's all it takes, maybe I should ask for a refund for the thousands of dollars that I gave my Dr! I don't say that of course, I just keep my mouth shut and say something like this baby was a long time coming or years in the making. I'm not shy about it. My entire department knew about my miscarriage so they know how long we've been trying, at least since then. I was really nervous about telling my boss because I know how much he relies on me and how afraid he is of losing me. I haven't told him yet that I don't plan to come back, but of course I feel so bad because it's obvious that he already stressed out about me being out for just a few months based on some of the comments that he's made - ack! I haven't figured out when to break that news, but it will definitely be at least a couple months in advance to give them an opportunity to try to find a replacement.
So, I'm officially 13 weeks today!! Yippee!! I'm still feeling about the same and haven't yet experienced the so-called second trimester rejuvenation, but I'm waiting patiently! I don't really think I'm in the second trimester yet, even though some books and websites say that I am. I believe that it begins at 14 weeks because of course 40 divided by 3 is about 13 weeks, not 12. I'm pretty exhausted all the time still and still pretty queasy at night, but it really isn't too bad - it just makes it tough to find things that I like to eat that are also good for me. A new thing for me is that I woke up at 3 AM literally starving to death. My stomach was growling loudly and full force, so I had to get out of bed and eat something. Hmm, I wonder if this will be a recurring thing. Maybe I should start keeping food by the bed!
In other news - I have my first just regular OB appointment tomorrow afternoon and I am guessing that we'll get to listen to the heartbeat and who knows what else. I'm also still waiting on the bloodwork results from our NT scan. I'm not stressed about it, but I would like to just get the results and be done with it. I'll keep y'all posted!
