July 10th!

Are you serious? What?

Ok, so I am a bit in shock, well more like extreme excitement! So I was a week late for Dear Red, and thought I was just running late because I have been working out so much this summer. I kept on waiting for him to arrive, and finally got the nerve to test. I have tested before and was not expecting to see this!





 So excited that I had to call Mark in the middle of the day, just to tell him. I had thought about (before this day happened) of all the cute ways I could break the news to Mark...and well, it went totally out the window. Not only did Mark find out he would be a father today, but he also was offered the GM position at Corner Bakery after a long few months.

So now the question is how long will we be able to keep the secret from friends and family. I just got off the phone with my mother, and I literally had to bite my tongue not to say anything to her. Thank goodness Erin has not called yet, cause she will be another one where I will just have to use all my strength not to spill the beans. I talked to Renee recently as well, all so difficult to not just blurt out the news like a two year old! Well, really everyone I talk to will be seeing me fight all my energy to not say anything. Mark does not want to say anything until at least after our first appointment on July 29th. Not sure if we will make it until then.

As for the neighbors...they will find out this weekend. It is a bit difficult to sit and hang out with the neighbors without enjoying a beverage or two. So now, I need to hide out until tomorrow (7/13) until we can share the news with them...and give them a reason why I refuse to partake with a beverage from the neighbors!


This blog will remain blocked until it is time to reveal the news to friends and family.



Updates: (based on my calculations I am in my 5th week)

Signs and Symptoms:
July 3: Cried at the dentist office -- because I did not want them to test my gums. How embarrassing!

Other symptoms: Was a bit moody over 4th of July, so much so that Mark even mentioned it. Even had to run to the bathroom ALL the time! Starting earlier this week was extremely tired during the day, but would toss and turn like crazy at night. Also had headaches during the day, which is unusual for me.
