Thank you!
Oh my gosh, how did you wait so long to tell your DH?! Right after I got my BFP, I had our toddler take the test to him, lol. Kind of silly, but it was fun to involve our son.
I'm sure you've seen it, but there's a thread here on the Families board about that with some really cute ideas! I'm sure whatever you decide to do will be magical for all of you.
Lol! It wasn't easy! With our first one, he was a surprise (as in, we were both in college and not married surprise), so I panicked and tracked him down and told him over the phone. Our second was planned, and I walked into the kitchen and showed him the test and told him I "thought" I was pregnant (very faint positive). So this one, I wanted something fun - I ordered a Dallas Cowboys onesie (his favorite team) and had to wait for it to come in. If I had it all to do over again, I would've driven to the nearest mall 45 minutes away and bought one after the doctor confirmed it, but I didn't think of that at the time, so I had to wait for it to be shipped and delivered. It was a fun way to surprise him.
We're doing the same thing for the grandparents (surprising them, I mean): with our first child, we each told our moms and it was not good news for them (don't worry, the baby won them over when he made his appearance and they've been wrapped around his finger ever since!). My second, my DH couldn't keep it a secret, so we went over to his parents and he blurted it out. When we were leaving there, I called my dad to tell him we were going to stop by and he said not to because my mom was sick, so I had to tell him over the phone. For this one, I'm getting a personalized Mickey ornament when we go to WDW next week for MIL (saying it's "From Grandbaby #5" - #3 from us, but 5 total) and my parents are meeting us in Disney, so we'll tell them there... not sure how yet. I've been trying to think of cute ideas, but nothing is jumping out at me.
Congratulations!! We are due right around the same time - I'm due May 16th. This is my 5th So far we've only told my sister and one of my close friends. I'm holding out for our Disney trip next month for some good photo ops! This may well be our last time, and we've always just spit it out to people, so I want to do something a bit different this time.
How are you ladies feeling? I have been SO nauseous, and this morning I was lightheaded, and ended up dry-heaving. I hadn't eaten yet, or I know it would have been worse. The heart burn (which I've had issues with for all of mine) has also started already. It's a curse for the women of my family!
Feeling so rough has made keeping it a secret from my older two kids (8 and 7) and everyone else even harder!
Congratulations! I hope you feel better soon! I've been feeling great - a lot of breast tenderness (to the point that laying on them nearly induces tears), but that's normal. Just a little queasiness, but no actual sickness - but I never got sick with either of my other kids, so maybe three times will be a charm too . I told DH I would probably get morning sickness for the first time with this one and it would probably hit while we're in WDW next week! I'll be 8 weeks then.
May I join the board? We got our BFP last Sunday. Looks like May 28, 2013 is the estimated day! This will be our second child! I'm so excited.
Congratulations!
