It feels so good to relax and talk about the pregnancy openly now. There are a handful of friends that still are not aware, but I am trying to make arrangements to see them in person to tell them. Everyone that does know, knows not to put ANYTHING on facebook or other social media, so hopefully the secret is safe. I think I've posted before my feelings about facebook, so no need to go there again.
Anyway, the reveal was AMAZING. The way I have been describing how the Roberts reacted is like they were on a game show. Like Bob Barker just called all of them up on stage to bid. And the Hindermeiers were the Hindermeiers, excited and calm at the same time. Warren is the same, and that's what I love about them. Once my mom had the news though, I'm pretty sure everyone in Sault Ste. Marie heard by the end of the weekend. We facetime'd all of my in-laws and it was great to see everyone's expressions.
We were able to get some videos of the reveal of the Roberts, and I'll post them here as soon as I get them.
I started revealing the news at work on Monday, and I just shared the news when it came up in conversation. I didn't call everyone's attention and tell all at once. The first time it came up was because I was fired up at work and frustrated about something, and apparently I've lost my filter a bit. So I was speaking with three friends, and they said, "Kelly, you're not yourself. Usually your so happy and talking fast. What is wrong with you?" And so, I replied, "I'm pregnant." And then all was forgiven. I'm playing this hormone card for a LONG time. So, news surely spread (working in a hospital is comparable to being in high school for the rumour mill) and it was a great week.
The other news is that I finally received a phone call back from my doctor's office. What I was supposed to do was make another appointment with him, once my blood work results were in, and then I have the chance to decide about the integrated prenatal screening (IPS). So, my blood work was all good and I decided to have the IPS. It is just an ultrasound and blood work. I am waiting to receive my blood work requisition, and I already have an ultrasound appointment on Feb. 5 @ 1:15. I'm not sure if I get to see the little bean with this one since it's for screening, but if not, I get the "virtual tour" around my 20 week mark. That isn't so bad since I'm 13 weeks now.
Still feeling good. Looking forward to ramping up the exercise a bit more this week. Too much going on last week that we only ran once! Eeeeek.
And now the blog is public. Phewf. This is where all the news and updates will be posted. Maybe a belly shot once in a while just for the out-of-town relatives.
