After hearing petri's heartbeat on Tuesday, J and I were comfortable enough to share our news with the world. I told my boss on Wednesday and a few other people at work. Everyone was really excited. Then last night I asked for some help with how to announce it on facebook and got a fantastic rhyme to post! So I announced last night and the comments and "like's" just keep pouring in. I feel so loved right now and it just reminds me that I'm so lucky to have such great people in my life. The best part is that they now get to be a part of Petri's life!
Another fun thing I did yesterday was schedule my anatomy scan. I had to get a referral to an outside place and was worried they'd book up so at my appt on Tuesday I got the form I needed to make the appointment for the anatomy scan. So the date is set... June 9th! J's birthday:) I love that I have it to look forward to and I'll know (hopefully-Petri better cooperate!) what day we'll find out if Petri's a boy or a girl:) I also love that I have a date to look forward to for when I'll get to see Petri again. I know I won't at my next OB appt (at 17 weeks). Exciting stuff:)
On a completely unrelated topic, I've noticed that I've lost a few followers. I don't know their reasons and they could just be bored with me (because lets be honest, I'm not that interesting!) but if I've said anything insensitive since I got pregnant I apologize. I know I searched out blogs of other women having trouble trying to conceive during my journey because it was a source of comfort, information, and interested me. I root(ed) for them in hopes that they would get pregnant asap! I also know that as people did get pregnant there can be that tiny sting of jealous or "when's it my turn". When I did finally get pregnant I debated on starting a new blog to document my pregnancy. I decided not to though because I plan to print out this blog once Petri is born (blog2print or a similar service). I wanted both the journey to conception and the journey to motherhood to be together since it's all our journey to meeting Petri. Anyway, I'm rambling now. I just don't want to hurt or upset anyone since my blog has turned mostly mushy and baby crazy. I still remember what it feels like to try SO hard for so long and it's absolutely affected the way I view my pregnancy now. So please... let me know if I've upset you in any way!
Haven't upset me none!! :)
