The Good:
- I got to tell my parents and siblings about the baby this weekend, and they were beyond over-the-moon excited. It was so amazing - my mom seriously sobbed her face off. I showed a friend of mine the videos of their reactions, and she was like, "Dude. When I get pregnant, I'm telling YOUR family first - they're so much more excited than mine would ever be!" It was funny and sweet, but also a tiny bit sad. I have the best immediate family in the world <3
- (I think) I'm officially 6 weeks pregnant today! The more I think about it, the more certain I feel about my dates, but I'm still really anxious to go to the doctor next Monday for confirmation on everything.
The Not-So-Good:
- The sickness phase has officially started, as of yesterday, and holy actual hell. MISERABLE. I kinda sorta appreciate it, since it's basically the only sign I've had so far (aside from the positive tests) that something really is happening in there, but mostly it's just disgusting and awful. I want to personally shake the hand - and maybe even kiss the feet - of whoever invented preggie pops, because they're the only things that really seem to help so far.
- I allowed my mom to tell her mom and sister (who I'm not on speaking terms with) about the baby, and their reactions were abhorrent. Just the most disrespectful, fucked up shit. I didn't necessarily expect anything else from them, but it still makes me angry that they never fail to disappoint. I don't even care, though. That just reinforces my decision to separate myself from them, and make sure that they have zero contact with my child when he or she arrives. Assholes. I won't let them steal one tiny ounce of my joy about this baby.
happy belated mother's day to all of you mommies on my flist <3
