breaking the news.

well, cat's out of the bag!

we told my family about baby A on wednesday while having a little date-day.  i texted a picture of the ultrasound...which was lost on my pops, hilarious!  it was so exciting to share the news, and i think i pretty much giggled all afternoon as i finally was able to talk every last detail with my mom & sisters!!  i'd been DYING to tell them for oh, approximately 5 weeks:)  i'm definitely glad we waited, just to make sure everything was okay...but it was awesome to finally tell them.  since then i think i've exchanged a gazillion texts with them about everything from nausea to baby names.  it's a very exciting time for me!

later that night we also told kate & mike's mom & sarah.  as expected, they were all over the moon too.

this coming monday night is our friend-thanksgiving celebration at our house, and by then most people will know about the peanut.  i think it would be too hard to explain to everyone there why i'm declining wine ;)  it's not really like me!  thankfully, it doesn't even remotely sound appealing.  i think the body has a way of making that easier...no coffee, no wine sounds good.

however, COKE!!!!  oh my gosh, coke is my new fave.  i only have it once or twice a week because we don't even keep any at the house, but it is so tasty to me right now.  maybe it's just the carbonation...i'm going to get some caffeine-free at the store this week to try.  along with some cheerios, which liz suggested, to keep nausea at bay.  i need something that's easy to throw in a ziploc in my scrub pockets at work.  thankfully the nausea seems to be getting a little better every day.  last night i had some eggnog and that didn't sit too well, but i think that might always be the case.  love the flavor so much, but too much and it's a bit heavy.

anyway, i'm entering my 9th week today.  time is moving right along!
