Ok, we've told our families with the exception of my Dad and my middle brother and his wife. We'll be seeing them in a week, so we want to let them know in person, too.
It's funny, though. Well, maybe not funny, but definitely something. Now that we've told our families, I worry more. I'm not the worrier in the family. Brian does enough of that for all of us. I'm usually the solid rock that's hard to break. But, now that the news is out to family, I worry about things like miscarriages and ectopic pregnancy. I try to stay positive and only put positive energy into my body, but that nagging suspicion is there just under the surface. It was pretty bad last night after we told Brian's parents. Although my mom didn't have any trouble during her pregnancies it doesn't always work that way. Both of my sister in-law's have had multiple miscarriages, and the wife of a good friend of Brian's just miscarried 6-months in. Rare, I know. No. I mean that. I KNOW. But, it's still there in the back of my mind.
I just pray for most of the day that the Butter Bean is safe and healthy, and that I have a healthy pregnancy with no complications. I've controlled what I've been eating and am working to put more protein in my diet. I took prenatal vitamins for 4 months before conceiving, along with an extra dose of folic acid. I'm still on extra iron for myself and on vitamin D. But, since I now have to go and see the OB-GYN, I'm pretty much on my own until June 21st: my first appointment. Of course, I'll always have the internet...(that just sent shivers down my spine).
