We're out!

Our immediate families were told at 5 weeks. My co-teacher was told at 6 weeks. Our best friends and extended families were told at 10 weeks. Last night at 11 weeks, 2 days I finally cracked and posted the news on facebook! I'm so happy to be out!

I have been thinking about getting some looser tops, maybe even just getting some maternity ones but have felt like I was going to be caught doing something wrong! I walked past Motherhood Maternity in the mall a couple of weeks ago and wouldn't go in because I was afraid someone I knew would be walking through the mall and see me! It was like I was afraid of being caught shoplifting or something! When I bought my Be-Band at Target, I hid it under other things in my cart. As I was walking around, I ran into my cousin's girlfriend and almost had a heart attack thinking that she caught me. It was such an irrational fear. So what if someone saw me? My fear was that people were going to find out in the wrong order.

I had it all planned out, who was going to find out first, next, and so on. We would tell our parents and siblings first. My co-teacher would have to know because I was sure I'd be running from the room to barf (I feel so lucky that I haven't thrown up once so far!). Then, closer to the end of the first trimester we'd let our best friends know. I would have told my friend Kayla sooner but she has a big mouth. As it was, she sent a mass text to a bunch of our friends the night we told her and Pat. I was pretty pissed. Then we'd announce on facebook right at the end of the first trimester or the beginning of the second. I only lasted until 11w2d. Last night, Bill came home and said, "just put it on facebook, a bunch of people know let's just make sure everyone does." Ok, you twisted my arm!

So the congratulations have been pouring in which is so sweet. It's nice to know we have such supportive friends. Even people I haven't talked to since high school have been congratulating us. It's really touching.

One last cute thing. Last night before bed, I was hugging Bill goodnight while he was sitting at his computer. When I pulled back, he lifted up his shirt and kissed my belly and said, "I had to kiss the baby goodnight!" Awwwwwwwwwwwww.
