Please send good thoughts our way today guys. We are telling SD tonight that she's going to be a big sister. My anxiety is through the roof. After careful consideration, we have also decided to tell her BM. I know that we don't owe her this, but DH and I agree that a heads up towards parents over big changes is (for us) the correct way to go. I'll update you tomorrow. :/

How did you tell skids?

Twelve weeks! Had my appointment this morning. Little gummy bear was not digging the Doppler, the midwife had to find him (her?) multiple times because when she pushed down the wand (s)he would move after a couple of seconds :). It was great hearing the heart beat though!

So, now that we are moving past the highest risk time, we need to let SD know she's going to be a big sister.

We are planning on texting BM after we pick SD up on her next visit. The hope being that any negative reaction BM has (if any) won't be in front of SD.

Horrormones.

Fast vent-

Work sucks horribly right now. Dealing with an extremely passive aggressive co worker, who I think, wants my job. Yeah, it's as fun as it sounds.

DH, I love you and some days I want to strangle you. Today happens to be one. You have NEVER been a Disney dad, please don't start now because we are expecting. Just. Don't. (We are going to chat about this tomorrow, if I being it up tonight I'll be too emotional).

Waiting till 12 weeks

I know it's as much his news as mine, but I was a bit shocked that DH wanted to tell SD about our pregnancy within the next couple of weeks. Call me gun shy, but I've had a miscarriage before. I don't want people knowing until we are through the danger period. He understood after I explained it to him, but damn.

Well that happened fast.

I figured for sure nothing took this month, none of the symptoms I had last time I was preggo. I'm still four days away from my period, but I figured why not pee on a stick? At first I thought it was a negative the line was so faint, but it looks like DH has super sperm! I can't tell anyone yet IRL, a miscarriage in the past will do that to you. I thought for sure it would take months.

TTC-yikes, I mean yay?

So DH and I have decided to put off grad school (for me) for a year. In the meantime we have decided to not try to prevent pregnancy. Now that we are here, I'm freaking out a bit! I wonder if I'll be a good mom or even if bringing a child into this world is a responsible thing to do. I've been pregnant before (unplanned and miscarried) and I was thrilled, so my anxiety is puzzling me. I do tend to be overly analytical. Is this normal?

When we left for the wedding, SD told us her mom have her two cameras and was told to take as many pictures of DH and I as she could. Whatever, SD only took the camera out the day of the wedding and took pics...I think we all know why. I did what thought was the nice thing and sent the photos that we bought from the resort. The photos I sent were of SD only, I guess because I'm not a sadist...I didn't really think she would want our family photos. We have pictures that I'm going to make into a scrapbook for SD.
