letting the news out slowly!

(10w 0d)

I feel like I can't really post as often as I want to because i'm afraid of turning into a broken record with the pregnancy... not to mention those still TTC... guess i'll have to let be what will be and post whatever I want to, even if I posted something very similar only a few days to a week beforehand.

10w belly pic!

anyway, Friday can't come soon enough! I just want to hear that dang heartbeat instead of seeing it  : )  i'm still worried about the chances of it being just a little to early to hear and we'll have to wait a month to have another chance at hearing it. not trying to be negative, but I know i'm basically on that cusp of when you'd be hearing it on a Doppler.

we finally told my mom this past weekend. I wanted to tell her, but then I didn't want to tell her because I know she likes to allude to things on FB and we didn't want to risk having the news slip out before getting to tell other family members before they find out over FB (something that at this point DH's dad might end up finding out that way if they keep staying out all hours of the day when DH is trying to call them! haha). at least this time she's only got 2.5 weeks to keep it under wraps unlike the 6 she had last time  ; )  we walked into her front door after going out for dinner and DH made mention of his food baby and then I stuck my belly out and said "me too". she looked at me suspiciously and said she didn't want to make assumptions but we let her know she could this time. she cried. happy tears of course, but I expected it from her. I know DH's mom will do the same thing when he tells her. She's pretty excited, not that I didn't think she wouldn't be... of course the happy mood was kinda trashed when she just had to make sure that my dad didn't know yet. he knew 3 weeks ago, but we didn't tell her that, I didn't feel like causing WWIII with that bit of info.

I debated telling my sister, but haven't yet because we're just not that close anymore. I might this weekend, depends. I was going to tell her when they came to pick up their old car that's been parked outside the house for 2 weeks, but they came earlier in the day so I didn't even see her. her loss I guess. guess she doesn't want to see me as much as I don't want to see her...

DH and my shirts and one for the baby
(all bout the last time I was preg... but
we finally get to use them!)

i'm leaving the rest of the family for when I go out to the cabin next week. I didn't want to do it without DH, but I kind of have to since there's a lot of stuff I won't be able to do this year so i'm gonna have to explain myself  : P  i'll wear my announcement t-shirt and wait for someone to get it, which I don't think will be long since my cousin who is driving out with me will obviously know by the time we get there, lol. I'll bring DH's for him so he can wear it when he gets there. i'm hoping we can get a pic of us in our shirts with hayhay in her shirt this weekend so we can use it to announce on FB shortly after getting back from the cabin.

HayHay's shirt was a bit of work since it was a little small (why are dog sizes always so misleading?). I think I did a damn good job fixing it up  : )  the sleeves didn't have enough room between them so that was making the shirt tight and the bottom hem was too tight. so I took an old shirt and completely overhauled it. I kept the original neckline and was going to keep the sleeves (just moved) but every time I put it on her with the sleeves, she gave me the death look and would be all pathetic and not move, like as though the sleeves completely stunted her movement, lol. its actually really funny to see. I ended up not using the sleeves at all and other than first minute of having it on, she's completely fine and doesn't act all weird when its on her. so yay for me being able to sew! she's SO CUTE in it!!!
