Sweet lunch with friend

Cheerilee

Today was my last day in my home town before we return home halfway across the country.  I met my forever-friend for lunch and she gave me a "care package" of pre-natal vitamins, a vanilla scented candle, and some Burt's Bees lotion with a super sweet card.  She wanted to make sure I had the right pre-natals and extras I wouldn't normally buy myself.  She's had two boys so has been a great sounding board for some of my worries.

On another note, I still don't really feel pregnant and can't wait until Wednesday when I am home to see my doctor and get some sort of confirmation.  My breasts were a little fuller today and ice cream KILLED my teeth!  I don't think I'll be eating anything frozen again soon.  Of course, I have to pee all the time, too.  I didn't really want to tell anyone who isn't immediately close I'm pregnant but my DH, who I didn't think wanted a child right now, wants to tell everyone - and ALMOST told my step-son's birth mother.  That is a definite 'no' until well into the 2nd trimester.  Maybe this pregnancy will give me some clarity into his thought process

Pregnancy does straaaange things to men!

I've noticed!  He's so much more cuddly, sweet, and attentive (he was these things before depending on what was on Golf channel).  Now he's even saying twins would be fun...  That's not exactly what I'm hoping for.  One healthy baby is asking for enough!

His initial reaction wasn't so sweet so I'm enjoying this "new" hubby attitude!  He doesn't do well with change at first.  I had to just listen to him vent with worry while we drove to his parents' house.  Then, his dad had to listen to the same thing.  After they talked, he was OK.  Now he's excited to tell his grandparents and best friend tomorrow.  I'm afraid his grandma will feed me MORE than she already does when she finds out
