Isn't that magic!
Last Sunday I took my Mum out for lunch and before we left I told her my news... I think she's as delighted as I am! We were really quite hopeless when we were out, everytime we'd catch each others eye we'd both start to cry again!! It's lovely now that she knows... she's really excited about being a Granny and I know it's an extra prayer or two every day for my sticky little bean!
She told my Dad that evening and, whilst it came as a bit of a shock to him, he's reacted much better than I'd hoped. He rang me on Monday evening to congratulate me and tell me to look after myself.
Thursday evening I couldn't wait any longer and we told the in-laws. They're delighted... they're both in their 60's and I think it's the major thing that has been missing from their lives. I'm under strict instructions not to do anything!! They're quite old fashioned and I know we'll probably disagree about my parenting style but I also know they'll adore having a little Grandchild to spoil and love. It's definately well prayed for since I told them, I'd say there are candles burning and rosary's said every day for it.
At 6 weeks the books are starting to say that I might start getting a little bit of morning sickness... uumm, yeah, it only started about two weeks ago! It has started to get much worse though! I've been feeling sick constantly pretty much since I found out, but the worst thing is the complete exhaustion... after an hour or two doing anything at all I just need to sit down or my head starts to spin.
I can't wait to get past the first trimester and start to feel better, and hopefully, to look pregnant!! I'm also looking forward to telling my brother and sister, and all of our friends.
I've taken a couple of 'before' pics
I'm going to take a picture every couple of weeks to chart my pregnancy progress - I can't wait to see it turn into a proper blooming baby bump!!
I'm going to sign off for now and go and try to get some paperwork caught up... it's just hard to concentrate on anything that isn't baby!!
