When Time Becomes Quicksand
Keeping the pregnancy news a secret has been SO VERY HARD. Official timeline today is 9 weeks and 2 days. As I have been down the heartbreaking road of miscarriage with many of my friends before I have decided that I am not sharing the news until after the first trimester. Ideally I would like to wait until week 14 however I know I'm not going to get that far. We have our first real Dr. appointment scheduled for Dec. 8th at which time I will be 12 weeks and I feel like once I go there and receive good news I won't be able to hold it in any longer.
As it stands a few of our family members now know (a few that I wish did not know are in on the news now.. ) and a few of our friends. I feel like I'm starting to look heavy & I work with some very nosey and annoying co-workers who pretty much make it a habit of checking out your stomach if you are female every SINGLE day! It's getting downright rude and annoying.
So I watch the calendar every day that goes by and damn this time frame is SLOW. Painfully slow.
Now I will contradict myself.... I can not believe Thanksgiving is next week! Ok time is slow on a daily basis right now but next week is Thanksgiving? Really?
I'm really looking forward to the long weekend for more than the obvious of not being at work! We'll be traveling to my grandmother's on Wednesday night and staying until Friday. For some reason I'm actually excited about going there. It may be the first time since I was a kid and a trip to the grandparents house was fun that I've felt this way. For one it's a four hour drive. Boring. The town depresses me. But I'm sort of looking forward to the "tradition" this year and being there with my mom and my sister's family.
Then we'll be doing Thanksgiving all over again with Aaron's family on Saturday. But what I'm really excited about is that one of my closest and dearest friends from High School who has lived in Austin, TX for five years now (wow talk about time flying by) will be coming Home with her new boyfriend. The cherry on top is that they'll be staying at our house. So I'm excited to have some quality time with the two of them. I'm also so of excited that they will get our house to themselves on Thanksgiving night and I plan to make it feel as much like a Bed and Breakfast for them as possible.
Looking forward to eating as much turkey as I can fit in my now chubby ass belly! Hehe. And not feeling guilty over more than one helping of mashed potatoes and gravy!!
