I woke up early this morning, and was wide-awake, so I got out of bed with all intentions of getting back into my exercise routines. Now that I know that implantation has occurred, I figure I can take it easy with at least some daily walking.
But yayyyyyyyhhhhhh! My sister is home!! I got a message on MSN from her last night saying they got home at 8.30 last night. I’m so excited. I sent her a message back telling her to let me know when she gets up because I want to talk to her about my job opportunities. Which I do, but I really want to tell her my great news. I had already told her that my home tests were negative, and when she came online to tell me she was awake, she asked me about my blood test, but I told her I had no news yet.
For my birthday last year, she bought me a t-shirt that says “I’m the most important person in my life”, and I’ve decided that I am going to take that back to her today and let her know that its no longer true.
But she has 4 kids, and getting her alone was a struggle, so I just took her into the computer room and got her to read my online blog from when I found out I was POSITIVE! She read it, looked at me and said…. “Are you?” with the hugest grin on her face. So after going through it with her, she went to get her husband, and we made him read it too.
How exciting… now I have three people who know, and I just have to hold out for the next 6 weeks or so until I start telling everyone else.
I’m so glad I spent the last week telling everyone that I had a negative test, because now they will really be surprised.
My plan is for my sisters and I to take our Mum out for her 70th Birthday in early November and tell them at that time. By then, I will have had my 6 ½ week scan and so will have more information, and will be 9 weeks pregnant, so will consider myself safe enough. Oooooh, can I wait that long? That’s only 4 weeks away, so I need to try really hard!
I rang my best friend this afternoon to let her know the great news! She was in a change room in Target with her daughters, and obviously very excited to hear my positive results.
I’m disappointed that my sister and her husband are still away with the family as I would have loved to tell them too, but I’ve decided to wait until they get home tomorrow night to let them know.
I headed over to my besty’s for dinner and she bought me 2 books – a pregnancy journal (but it is actually a baby journal) and a book of baby names. I’ve already decided that if it’s a girl, I will call her Matilda – which is named after me and my great grandma on Dad’s side, which I think will make Dad very happy to have a family name to be his legacy (he passed away suddenly last year). I’m not sure on boy’s names at all, so I’m sure the book will be of great assistance there.
