Ok, this is feeling official! Of course, now we are starting to worry about the published miscarriage rates (1 out of 5! Yikes.), so we're trying to stay positive, but like, moderated-positive. Is that possible??
Mr. Mom took her first test on Day 13 after her IUI, so it feels like we've known forever. Her first ultrasound will be after 7 weeks with our RE. Waiting another week or so for that appointment feels like a lifetime! But then, 39 weeks will feel even longer I imagine.
So now our big question is, who do we tell? Especially in light of Exhibit A, paragraph one (chance of miscarriage). Mr. Mom is a nurse, trained to give chemotherapy to oncology patients, so she's had to be very up front with her boss at work about not being able to do that any longer. For me, I've told two of my most immediate work colleagues, but no one else. Next: PARENTS.
How did (will) you tell your parents? Mr. Mom's idea was to buy some Valentine's Day cards and somehow wrap the announcement into those. We'll be seeing Mr. Mom's family this weekend, but I'll need to arrange something for Dad Plant and my other framily (that's friend-family) on that side.
Can I just say? There are so many good 'reveal' videos out there on the interwebs. Check it out.
Here's a really good compilation to get you started.
