Lovefool

So I'm still holding my breath here. It's been such a weird experience. I always envisioned getting a positive pregnancy test, screaming, crying, and jumping around. Followed by a sentimental moment in my husband's arms. But, I think I've ruined it for myself. I've read too much and know too much. So instead, I am biting my lip with cautious excitement. Wiggling in my seat with apprehension. But no screaming and crying.

The closest I got was last night in my car, singing at the top of my lungs to Lovefool by the Cardigans. Not typical for me and NOT a pretty sight.

Little things keep slipping out. Like when I said to my husband, "We'll have a baby by next Thanksgiving," or "The test says I'm still pregnant. Whoa, I'm pregnant?" But it's still hard. I think it will feel real when we tell our families. Which, incidentally, I think will happen this weekend. My husband's parents will be in town visiting, so there's no way we will be able to keep it a secret (we're both terrible at keeping secrets). So once we tell them, of course I'll want to tell my family. And then, after that...it's out in the open and will feel oh-so-much more real. Wow.

In the meantime, this helps:

  6. Yayyyy!!! I knew it!
    Try to just be happy but rest assured, the denial will hang around for a while. After you try for several months (you and I had to wait for almost exactly the same amount of time)it's hard to accept that a pee stick is being nice to you for once. But it is.
    I'm so, so happy for you. :o)

  8. Oh and I think mixed feelings, and being scared are quite normal. Along with happiness, joy, awe.... all together. Just let yourself feel all of it and know that we are here for you, to listen to it all.
    BTW I just remebered, Liz at Happy sighs wrote a series,"Babies are scary", that I think is really good.
