The cat is outta the bag!

Well everyone now knows that I am pregnant.  


We decided to tell my dad and my Grand on Thursday night.  After we told them then I didn't care who told who about it.  I just wanted them to hear it from me.  


My dad's 60th birthday was in January and we took him to dinner.  I had some presents for him but I forgot to give them to him at that dinner.  I told him that we wanted to drop by on Thursday night to give him those presents because I was tired of them taking up a corner of my house!


Can I just say that I was so frickin' nervous on the way over there.....like sweating!  I'm not really sure why.  I think it was just that this was us telling the world and I had kinda liked it just being our little secret.  


I had three presents for my dad.  The first two were just his normal birthday presents.  The last one was this......

He was sooooo excited when he opened it.  He knew that we had been trying to have a baby for a while but he didn't really know any details and he never asks me about it.  His new girlfriend (that is an entirely different post) was there and she was excited as well.  I think had she not been there my dad might have cried.  He was just in shock.  We all hugged and then took these pics.    

After we left there we went straight to my Grand's house to tell her.  She also knew that we had been trying to have a baby but she has never asked me about it.  She also doesn't really know anything about fertility treatments so she has no idea what all we have been doing to get pregnant.  


I called her on the way and told her that I just wanted to drop by for a minute to give her something.  We got there and talked for a minute and then I handed her an envelope.  This is what was inside....

She was, of course, thrilled.  We hugged and I showed her some pictures of the baby.  We talked about my due date, names, and symptoms.  It was really great.  I forgot to take a picture at her house.....UGH!


After we left there I was just kind of numb.  I couldn't believe that I had just had those conversations.  I have been dreaming about those exact conversations for a very long time and they had just happened.  I was just trying to take it all in.  


On the way home I texted and called all of my friends and told them.  


On Friday morning my husband sent an email to all of his partners.  Most of them knew that we had been trying and knew that we had to do IVF.  They had to in order for my husband to get off of work.  


After that I gave the green light to my mother in law to tell her whole family.  


So there is it......my pregnancy is public knowledge!


I have to say that it is somewhat of a relief.  I was getting worried that my dad was going to find out somehow....not really that possible but you never know.  


I am also a little bit scared.  My mom says that is normal.  It is fun for everyone to be excited for me and I do love to talk all about baby.  But, it does make me  nervous.  I always said that I would wait until 12 weeks....I made it to 10 weeks 2 days.  Which I do think is pretty good considering the circumstances.  It would have been a ton easier to keep it a secret just between us is it had happened the old-fashioned way.


Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
