The Nest

One Week Since BFP.....

Posted Wednesday, October 31, 2007 6:56 PM

So I haven't been keeping up my blog now that I'm finally pregnant.  I have just been so busy at work, and so tired, that I don't have the energy to write anything. 

Work has been very busy, and a little stressful.  I told my boss, and she was so excited, I couldn't believe it.  We are pretty close, and so now she's helping me alot.  I appreciate all of her advice and her stories of when she was pregnant.  She puts a funny spin on it, and she makes me laugh.  I've told 2 coworkers, and one was very excited, and the other could have cared less (she is 43, never been married, etc).  I'm glad a few select people know, because I don't have to pretend as much.

When I called my mom to tell her, she was less than enthused.  She just said "well, how do you know" Umm....I POAS, and it was positive.  "well, you haven't been to the dr. yet"  Whatever lady!  "I don't want to be called grandma"  That was her last sentence before we said goodbye.  I was in tears after I talked to her.  I thought for sure that she would be excited.  I talked to her a couple days later, and she seemed better, more excited, but not really.  So I've decided to get over it, and DH and I will be excited.  My MIL and FIL were super excited when we told them.  We gave them a little poem and my MIL got tears in her eyes, which was nice to see.  DH's sisters were both pretty excited.

So now we've gotten everyone told that we're going to tell for awhile, so now the next big thing is our first dr's appointment, which is one week from today!!  I am very nervous about them drawing blood, because I am terrified of needles!  DH is going with me to hold my hand.  I am so very thankful!
