Letting it all out!

Week 9- This week marks the beginning of my morning sickness. Thankfully I am not throwing up, yet, but I have a lot of food aversions and nausea, which make getting up in the morning just fantastic. I am still able to deal with it and survive the day. I am still totally exhausted!! I am sleeping for nine hours a night and it still doesn't feel like enough.


Telling my parents-

We finally got the opportunity to tell my parents on July 9 on our way to our annual family camping trip. Chris and I drove up to Stevens Point and stopped to meet my parents at their house so we could all drive together. We had some gifts for them from our honeymoon and a framed picture of the ultrasound. We let them open the gifts and then gave them the frame together. It took a couple of seconds for it to register that the photo was an ultrasound but once it hit them they both got a wonderfully happy look on their faces. All my mom could say was, "really?!? I finally get to be a grandma?" You know, because she is so old, haha. My dad insists he knew what was going to be in the frame, but who knows for sure. Apparently there was some speculation going on at the bar due to a recent facebook status earlier in the week when I was legitimately ill that people took as morning sickness. This was followed by a lot of hugging and celebrating. We departed for Lake Owen around 5pm and got up there at 8:30, pretty good time since we weren't pulling the boat.

Throughout the weekend we got to tell our close friends who were camping with us. Everyone was so happy for us. We are very lucky to have such support from both sides of our families and friends. Whenever he got the chance, my brother Nick felt the need to tell total strangers that I am pregnant. Since I am not showing yet most of them looked at him like he was crazy.

In other news, I will be starting a new job on Monday. It is actually an old new job. I am going back to Associated Bank to work as a senior teller, which is what I was doing before my current job as an office manager. I think it will be better for me as far as stress goes. The people I will be working with will be more realiable and I won't have to worry about scheduling disasters every day, as I do now.

Chris and I are looking forward to this weekend, it is the first one since before our wedding that we just get to hang out at home. Who knew home could be so exciting?
