The Big Announcement

Dear Internet: I'm pregnant.

So, those of you that knew, you can now admit to knowing what you know. Those of you that didn't know, sorry, I had to get around to telling some people before I could let you know--and I might have tried to tell some of you IRL, but you cancelled plans on me to, you know, find a place to live since you need to vacate your SOLD home in a few weeks. You know who you are.

So, on with the news:

• I'm 16 weeks along. For those of you that don't count your life in weeks, that means 4 months.
• Estimated Due Date = November 2
• D and I are both very excited.
• Yes, we were trying. No, we didn't tell anyone that we were trying--so if you're surprised, you're not alone.
• I found out the day that I started my new job.
• I told D .23 seconds later by calling him into the bathroom to look at a pee stick by the sink. It was tres romantique.
• I only had 1 or 2 days of nausea. That sounds wonderful and all, but I was constantly convinced that something was wrong because I was without symptoms. I did, however, get every virus that family, co-workers and strangers on the street had, so that was tons of fun.
• We plan to find out the gender of the baby and to share that information. That appointment will most likely be in the middle of June.
• We plan to share the name of the baby once we decide on it. We will not ask for input on the name and your opinion will not change our minds.
• This weekend I started to look more pregnant and less lumpy.
• I felt the first official movement last Wednesday night (5/14) but didn't believe it until I felt it again on Sunday (5/18). BP08 likes (or doesn't like?) Mexican food!
• We are referring to the baby as BP08; you may or may not get where that comes from but it is of absolutely no importance so don't worry. :)
• Not only have I been neglecting this dear blog because I have been busy with work and sick, but also because every time I had the opportunity to write, all I could think to write about was the baby that I had not yet told you about. I will work hard to continue updating and not become only a baby blog, but no promises and hey--aren't baby posts better than no posts at all?
