The hardest thing for me to give up is:
nothing. I would say fast food, but the fact that it makes me sick to eat it makes it much easier to give up.
This month I told:
My dad and his new wife, my sisters, a few of my best friends, Chris's parents, Chris's brother, my biological dad and his wife, my cousin, my aunt, my uncle, my great aunt (grandpa's sister), and a few other people found out as well...
They reacted by:
My dad said "I've been waiting for someone to call me grandpa." and his wife was happy and excited and said "Congratuations!" My sister, Stephanie, said "What!? OH MY GOSH! I thought Dad was joking!" That was then followed by squeals of delight and she said, "I'm so happy!" My other sister, Kat, said "That's great! It's weird but I was recently talking to someone about you wanting to have a baby!" Chris's dad said, "That's exciting news! And I think y'all are ready." Chris's mom said, "That's exciting. If you have any questions, I've been through this three times." Chris's brother was speechless before saying, "Yeah, that's good." My biological dad said "You've made me a grandpa again." (he has four other grandchildren from a half sister of mine). My friend, Deirdre, was shocked that it happened so quickly after Chris and I said we were planning to get pregnant. Deirdre said that her husband's reaction was "They got pregnant already?!" My friend, Allison, screamed excitingly and said, "Oh my gosh! Congratulations!" My cousin, Tina, had found out from my sister, Kat, first. When I got a hold of her she said, "Well, it's about time!" I told my aunt, Mama Akang, before she died. She smiled sweetly and grabbed my hand and said, "Really? That's good. How far?" My uncle was happy for me. So was my great aunt.
This month at my prenatal visit I learned that:
My first prenatal visit is in July.
New pregnancy symptoms I had this month:
I have been SOOOO nauseous. It started off just occassionally and got steadily worse until I had a very hard time holding down food. The nausea just recently started getting better though I'm still a little nauseous. I started craving sour things like olives and pickles the past couple of days and I've been wanting lemon flavored ice cream or sherbet. The pickles probably have to do with a few people bringing them up recently. What's weird is that I usually don't like dill pickles but I've been eating those more than the sweet pickles that are usually my favorite. Some other symptoms include being tired ALL OF THE TIME as well as my moods being like a roller coaster. I can be happy one minute and almost in tears the next. I'm usually a pretty emotional person anyways, but I'm more emotional than usual.
My hopes:
I want to have twins :). Mostly, I'm hoping for a good pregnancy and an easy labor. Oh... and I hope this nausea goes away soon.
