Big Announcement
November 18th, 2007
I haven’t written in a REALLY long time. Sorry!! I’ve been… busy. Well, busy and preoccupied.
I have some news and I feel bad posting it on here, just because I know my brother and sister-in-law that live in VA read this blog and I think this might be the first they hear of this news. So, in deference to them, here is a personal announcement:
***********************
Hi M, A & L,
I’m pregnant.
I tried to call last week and tell you, but you weren’t home and I don’t think I was very clear in my message that you should CALL ME BACK.
Also, I hope my adorable little niece had a fun birthday last week. Did you guys get our package?
Love,
STM
***********************
So, anyway, there it is! I’m pregnant and exhausted. I’m also so relieved to have it out in the open because now I can BLOG about it.
I know you probably have questions…
When’s my due date? June 7th (A great day - my cousin Amber’s birthday.)
How many weeks does that make me? 11 weeks
Have I been sick? Yes, for two weeks I was really sick, but the weird thing is, I haven’t been sick since I was in that car accident. I guess the adrenaline chased it out of me. LOL
Do I want a boy or a girl? Either would be fabulous. I’d love a girl — as some of you know, I miscarried a baby girl at 17 weeks last Christmas. On the other hand, another boy like the toot would be wonderful. At this point, a healthy baby is all I’m praying for.
Have I heard the heartbeat yet? Yes, I have already finagled two ultrasounds out of my doctor (hahaha) and both had happy healthy baby heartbeats.
Any other questions? Let me know.
I think I’m going to go take a nap.

YAY! YAY! YAY! I am so excited for you! Nice of your doctor to give you u/s. With Ella, after my miscarriage, my MD gave me one every time I went in just to give me peace of mind.

Thanks, Heather! We are excited too!
I’m trying not to be too paranoid yet, and my doctor is being really great about everything. Just taking it one day at a time…

Kristin, CONGRATULATIONS! We are so excited for you! Yes, it is funny that we are hearing this news through your blog! Between a houseful of guests and a party for 43 people, we have been a bit slammed. Liesel is loving Little Pea and Where the Wild Things Are. We have already read them both and Liesel asks to carry her “book.”

I was wondering what was taking you so long to post about this, and now we all know. Thanks for the fun party on Saturday, little G really had a fun time. I hope the Toot had a fun time, too.

@ML,
I know you guys are busy! No worries… just glad that you finally know. Hope the party was fun!

canyonfool,
Glad you guys had fun at the toot’s b-day party. He did have fun, too. I’m just glad it’s over with. LOL

CONGRATULATIONS!
I’m so happy for you and the fam! You’re a great mom and this little one is lucky to have you as his/her mommy!

Thanks, Sunny!

YEA!!! I’m glad you’re ‘out of the closet’ now too! I was thinking we should cheat and go to Fetal Photos before Christmas to get a sneak peek. But it’s Karma, we’re having boys for sure. But that’s just fine with me too–just a healthy (did I mention happy?) baby is all any good mom could ever really want.

Heh. I work near that “Fetal Fotos” place and every time I look at the sign, all I see is “Fecal Fotos.” Weird.

Thanks, canyonfool. Now that’s all I’m going to think of too.
