We let the family know tonight
. It was fun to watch their reactions. Sadly my parents live a few hours away so we had to tell them over the phone, but it was still priceless. I emailed them a picture of my 8 week ultrasound and my mom said here is the conversation:
Me- "You have to see this picture mom, it's pretty cool. I think you are going to love it."
Mom- "Okay, lets see. Why are you sending me a picture of someone's ultrasound?"
Me- "Umm, why do you think?"
Mom- "Oh my god, is that yours? Are you saying your pregnant? I can't believe you lied to me!"
(I told her in August that we were going to stop trying. I hated lying to her, but she was constantly bugging me wanting to know if I had ovulated yet, etc. so I had to lie for my sanity.)
We got to tell my husbands mom and step dad in person though and I loved seeing their expressions.
It still doesn't feel real. Even with the morning sickness, being hungry, and needing to pee all the time it hasn't kicked in that there is a bean in there
. And I am still afraid that something that something may go wrong, but knowing that it is very unlikely at this point makes me feel a little better.
