In the Home Stretch

Of the first trimester at least! I'm so excited to be in the last bit of this part of my pregnancy. I know I haven't had it as hard as a lot of other people do during the first trimester, but even so I'm ready to be over this part. I'll be 11 weeks in two days. I'm so tired of being tired. And while its been subsiding it has not gone away. Also I'm ready to be healthier, but because of the nausea all I've been wanting to eat are carbs, which makes me even more tired. Its like a very sleepy cycle! I miss the way veggies make me feel, I just still can't stomach them. I know soon this will turn around and I can't wait for that time.

In other news I made a surprise trip home this past weekend to visit my mom for her birthday. It was so much fun, but very short! I was only there for one whole day. I got in at 11:30 pm Friday night and left at 9am Sunday morning. I only got to see a few of my family, but I'm going back next month for my cousins birthday so I should be able to see everyone then. I only made sure to see my immediate family, since they are most important. I saw my dad for breakfast. I gave him a t-shirt that says New Grandpa established 2014. He cried when he saw it. I told him he could tell whoever he wants to, as long as he tells them not to put it on facebook. I'm not ready to announce it to the world yet. I'm sure its spread through the entire family by now though, he is not good at keeping secrets! I told my brothers too. Nothing as cute as the t-shirt I got for my dad. I just had them together and told them that they are going to be uncles. They seemed excited, so that was really great. And of course my mom already knew, but I told her she couldn't tell anyone until I told my dad and brothers, so right after I told them she announced it to everyone that would listen. I'm so thrilled that everyone was so excited, of course I didn't have any doubts that they wouldn't be, but its still nice to experience. It is so wonderful that this baby is already surrounded by so much love and support.

Next up is to tell Matthews family! His mom is in Iowa visiting his grandmother for her birthday until the 16th, so we will tell them when she gets back. Our ultrasound is on the 19th so I thought we could wait until after then and show them the ultrasound picture.
