Start Spreading the News................

Of hte baby that is.....we have begun telling family and close friends this week and last. I called my dad finally and told him, you know how that goes it made him feel old as normal.....but hey i am not 20 anymore time to start having babies.....even though it does make him feel old....once again how it makes him feel but enough about that. It has been pretty thrilling to tell everyone I love this part of it.

I went up to Barbaras last weekend to see Megan for the military ball and kind of caught her off guard. Maria asked me so when are you gong to have a baby so i just said non chalantly "September" and you should have seen her face it was so funny.....that was the best thing. I was so excited that she was so excted and proud of me bc of where Tim and I are in our lives with career etc. She is very career drivien, so we can add another babysitter to the list.

We leave next Friday to finally go to OH, I am so ready to tell them all. I feel like I constantly avoid them bc my pregnancy is all that is going on in my life right now so there isnt much to talk to her about. I am just so ready to get it off my chest and I swear if she tells me one more time to bring a bathing suit up so we can get in the hot tub I think I might scream. I cant get in the hot tub!!!!!!!

Tim has begun telling all his college buddies about it, I think mostly bc of Mikes wedding in Oct. He wants them to know how things may or not go. One of them is pretty adamant about getting together bf the wedding and Tim had put his foot down and said that the month of August wont work he wont leave me I could go early etc. So it is nice that he is thinking ahead sometimes I dont find myself doing this I just think of the next day but never that far ahead maybe once I start getting bigger things will change.

Well so far still no weight gain, and no belly. I am betting that this could go on till I am 20 weeks or so prob bc I was in such good shape bf the pg. But a part of me wants the baby bump, I am far enough to tell everyone now I want it to feel more real. I havent had nausea very much mainly after I eat but I still have yet to throw up so thank my lucky stars. I am still so sleepy I go to bed at 8:30 and sleep straight through and then feel like I could just go right back to bed, it is crazy how exhausted I am.

Today is my 90 day anny with Novant, but I am still going to be mum for a couple of more weeks I thnk. i plan to e-mail HR later this week and ask aobut my review so maybe it will happen sooner than later, bc as soon as GC evaluates me I will make a seperate meeting with her and annouce the pg. I hope things go well. So I guess another month and she will know then I will have to begin training someone for while I am out. I would like to talk to corporate HR first about my rights and then work out a plan to try and come back after 6 weeks maybe part time for another 2 to 3 weeks a couple of days here and a couple of days at home. I would really like to work that plan out.

Well as you can see thoughts are running crazy through my head and my baby is telling me it is lunch time. So I am going for now, I will check back after our next appt on 3/4. We get to hear the HB so Exciting!!!!!!
