The meet up last weekend was fun. A bit of a funny was that at our original meeting place they had a "tot rock" event going on. We both laughed and agreed to go to the Starbucks down the street.

I was glad to share information with her and I'm excited to hear about her progress! I hope the facility that I went to can also help her! Yay!

We travelled to my sister-in-law's house this weekend to see our fresh nephew. He was born in mid-September. Obviously with my being pregnant it made the visit fun, exciting and an eye-opener! I'm in for a lot but in all honesty I am ready. My mother-in-law was also in town visiting and she is very excited to welcome another grandchild in April.

I'm doing well though. I guess the farther along I get, the more confident I get. This is scary though. I don't want to get too confident but I do visualize April and I see good things (and even in the form of a girl!). I definitely use my doppler at least every day. Now that I'm finding the heartbeat with ease, it's a big reassurance and puts a huge smile on my face.

I'm not out at work and I adjusted my facebook settings for a few work and friends of work people. We plan to reveal the pregnancy to a few more family members in the next few weeks and I can't have work people possible seeing facebook posts from family members.

I really wish I could just deactivate my fb till we are completely out but I'd miss Farkle too much. I think I've set the necessary privacy settings and if anyone questions it, I say "oh, that's odd, facebook must be acting up" and I leave it at that. :-) Work people are so low on my list to know it's not even funny. This is the worst group of people I've ever worked with and if I could hide this until April from them then I would! The few people I have on my fb list are actually people I worked with at my OLD job that are now at this new job. So I do like them but know work and personal life (fb) do not mix! I can't justify UNfriending them though.

I'm not showing yet which is why I have been able to keep it from work for so long. Tomorrow is 16 weeks. It makes me nervous that I am not showing but I know each woman grows at her own pace. I *may* be poking out a teeny bit but it still just looks like bloat. I am not trying to rush it but I will admit that I'll definitely feel a bit more confident (and REALLY feel pregnant) when I do start to show.

My next appointment is this Thursday. They call it my 16w appointment and I have no clue what we'll do. My guess is more blood, listen with their doppler and maybe measure my non existent belly? I doubt a sonogram is involved but I'd love it if it was! If the H1N1 vaccine is in, I'll probably get that.

So that's what's going on. It's becoming more of a reality and more exciting as the days and weeks go by.

  1. I just looked overweight for the longest time. I feel like I didn't really look pregnant until I was 6 months along. Even at that, I never really got huge. I *felt* huge, but when I looked at pictures of myself, I realized that in comparison to so many other pregnancies I'd seen, I was not so big.

    I felt more confident once I was feeling Ian move around and I really knew that was him moving. I still felt weird getting his room ready and washing his clothes, because (as strange as this sounds) it just felt so strange getting ready for someone that wasn't "there" yet :)

    It sounds like you are doing great! I told my office pretty early on, but that is because I wanted to give them the biggest lead time possible- I just knew they would end up giving my work BFF all my responsibilities and I was trying to avoid that. My "new" supervisor at the time sat on her damned hands and my friend did end up with my work anyway. I learned early on that I just had to throw up my hands and say "not my problem" when the supervisor wasn't doing her job. Lo and behold, she got fired at the end of July and yours truly is still here :)

    I am so happy for you and I can't wait to meet your little one.

    Are you going to find out at 20 weeks if your tenant is a boy or a girl?
