Jared and I have been so glad to have had the last two months to enjoy Jellybean by ourselves. I'm glad we have waited to tell people. This way, we've had time to talk things out, bond, and make this the new "normal" for us. Tomorrow, we'll start having to facilitate it being the new "normal" for others, and start having to hear all sorts of advice, questions, suggestions, and pregnancy stories. But, we're ready now, because we're totally comfortable and secure in it.
I'll do my best to keep the blog updated over the next few days with pictures and reactions. Jellybean, you're about to go public!

Fighting Back
I did some research and went to the grocery store for the following: ginger snaps, gingerale, crystalized ginger, rice cakes, lemons, lemonade, and pretzels. All of these things are supposed to help with my morning sickness. I can tell a difference so far, using the gingerale, lemons and rice cakes. I was wearing Sea Bands for a few days, but my wrist is itchy and looks red and puffy today.
Two of my coworkers are pressuring me about a possible pregnancy. I continue to tell them I'm just tired, my stomach is upset, and when there's news to share, I'll make sure they know. I'm pretty sure they've figured it out, though!
Jellybean, we have 6 days until our first doctor's appointment together!

Beat Goes On
Yesterday was Jared's first day at his new job. He's enjoying it so far--helpful co-workers, a relaxed atmosphere, etc. We hope this will be a long-term place for him!
My job is going ok, too. Administration and I have spoken about next year's possibilities, so I'll be waiting to see where that goes. My students will have an Easter egg hunt on Thursday--I think we have close to 375 eggs to share amongst the 20 of them. I won't be there, though....I'm taking the day off to travel to Alabama with my family. My mother's side of the family gets together for an Easter reunion every year. It'll be hard to be there around everyone and not say anything about Jellybean.
I have both grandmothers left in this world, but they both have developed dementia. One doesn't know me from a rabbit, the other calls me everything from Bethany to Maribell to trying to order lunch from me. It makes me a little sad that, even if they live long enough to be great-grandmothers (for the sixth time, in one of the cases, the first in the other), that they won't understand or comprehend it, and will not be able to develop a relationship with their great-grandchild.
On the other side of the coin, Jared's grandmother is quick-witted, smart-mouthed, has at least one glass of wine a day and Wednesdays are naked days. Mmhm.

Whisper Whisper
It's already so hard to keep a secret! Jared agrees--we want to tell everyone already. How do people keep these things under wraps? Jared's family was with us today for church and lunch, and after they left, he admitted that he desperately wanted to say something. But we've got six more weeks to kill before we share the news! I've heard that the thing to do is tell strangers. News won't get around, and you'll feel a little less like you're about to burst.
