I couldn't wait any longer. First it was going to be three months. Then, I negotiated until the date of my first prenatal visit, which is next week, the 29th. Last weekend, I whined to Nate that even that was too long of a wait, so we spilled the beans to everyone yesterday. I think the best part of it is knowing how many people are genuinely excited for us, and how blessed we are that so many people care.
I called one of my aunts, and she said, "I knew it!! You were so tired Labor Day weekend, I just knew it!!" I then gave her free reign to spread the news, and I'm not kidding you, within three minutes, I had a phone call from my uncle (her husband) and her son-in-law (my cousin's husband).
Nine weeks today, and I'm feeling pretty good. I just ate a bizarre dinner--cauliflower with cheese, a side of sauerkraut, and some pasta dish I whipped up with cannellini beans, butter and garlic. I bought the sauerkraut last week at the store because it looked super yummy. And it was. I've never bought that before in my life.
I'm still riding my bike to work just about every day, making it 3.5 miles each way, for a total of about 30 minutes of exercise everyday. I'm pretty convinced that exercise helps with the exhaustion, although I would love to have nap time with my 8th grade Spanish class at about 1 PM.
