Dr Again and Telling Our Families

This past week has been pretty good - besides being very, very tired! But I guess I shouldn't complain in comparison to others. Last night we had dinner with my family so we decided that we would tell them then. It was weird to think about how to tell them. I told Jens first because I knew I could tell her without the awkwardness. So while Oscar was entertaining himself, I told Jens by pointing to my tummy and then eventually telling her. She was so excited for us which I knew she would be but it was nice to see it. We then went to have dinner and I told James to tell the family as I didn't know how to say it, so James did. My family were very excited about it. We spoke a bit about how I've been feeling and what to expect. It has been nice to be able to talk to people about it!

Then today I went back to Paul to get the blood test results and some other things. He told me that all my tests came back fine and that I am A+ blood group. After chatting a bit, I asked Paul about if I needed to come back and see him and he said that if all goes well, the next time I will see him is to get the needles for our baby when it is 6 weeks! Crazy! That comment made it a little bit more real. 

Then tonight we called up James' parents to tell them the exciting news. They were very excited to hear the news, which again was lovely to hear. We too spoke a bit about how I've been feeling. I love how supportive and caring both of our families are. Tomorrow we will try to call Jenny and Ryan to tell them as Jenny is busy tonight. So can't wait to tell them as I think she will be over the moon for us. And we got Maddie's birthday invite in the mail today (it is so cute!!)

So the next step is to try and call the obstetrician on Monday, while at school, away from others to try and book an appointment with him between 10-12 weeks. Crazy times!
