Finally Able to Share our News!

Wow! It's been a long 8 weeks keeping this news on the "down-low"...we're so happy to finally be able to share the news with everyone.

We initially informed family and a few close friends after our first doctor's visit (at 6 weeks/5 days) when we were able to see the heartbeat on the ultrasound. Telling my mom and Phil was priceless! We would have loved to tell them in person but couldn't wait that long. My mom's reaction? "Thank You, Thank You, Thank You"!!! Do you think she was anxious to be a grandmother?!?

So far, all is well with the pregnancy and I haven't been sick (thankfully!). I've been very tired, but that seems to be getting a bit better. I also have NO interest in most of our favorite ethnic cuisines and that is driving poor Dave nuts. I'm sure the staff at our favorite Mexican joint is wondering where on earth we have been considering we used to be there 2 to 3 times/week prior to my ethnic food aversion. We are both hoping this is not a permanent change in my food preferences!

The most popular question we are being asked right now? "Are you going to find out what you're having?" We've actually decided to wait and be surprised in the delivery room. This is driving "Grandma Suzy" a bit crazy as she would like the early confirmation that it's a girl so that she can start shopping for girl outfits!

Thank you to everyone for your well wishes. We'll try to keep this updated as we go along and we'll add some "belly pics" too!! :-)
