Letting the cat out of the bag
Ya'll, I've been setting on a secret for over 2 weeks now. I have debated on whether I should post it or not, but I cannot hold it in any longer...
...after 7 HPTs, 1 office test, and 2 blood tests after that, I can officially announce:
WE'RE HAVING A BABY!
Don't you know that I am over the moon! I have been trying so hard to hold it in until after my OB appt. next Wednesday, but I just couldn't do it any longer. I am 6 weeks along, and by my calculations, the little one will come along around February 22.
We told Chase. who wasn't extremely excited to begin with, and told us "no, I don't want one of those." Now he is intrigued by the baby in mommy's belly. He often comes up to me and asks me to open my mouth, then announces "I SEE IT!" He also insists that we won't have a baby brother or sister, but just a baby. Silly boy!
Luckily I haven't been sick YET, just very tired and OH. MY. GOD. The sorest boobs ever!. And, sometimes a smell will come along that makes me want to run for the hills. Maybe I can make it six more weeks with mild symptoms (HA!). All I know is that it was all worth the wait.
OMG! Another one! You have no idea how happy I am for you guys!! Congratulations. I can't think of a more deserving mom. Now I get to live vicariously through 2 bloggers and their pregnancies. It must be something in the water. ;-)

Henry and Alison used to kiss my tummy and say, "bye, bye baby! Love you forever!" The funny thing, though, is that Henry STILL does that! :)
Congrats!!!!

Posted by: Holli at July 18, 2005 06:54 PMWhat a wonderful site! Love the background! Love the Wellie! Wish I wasn't *computer stupid* and could do it to mine! My friend Kether had a chart thingy on her blog that told how many days her little bean had been growing when she was pregnant, you should see it! So cute. We'd love one on your site to track the progress with you. She's at: www.kether.blogspot.com Many many Congratulations!!!
