Our baby is the size of a single sesame seed right now...
5 weeks pregnant and counting down 7 days until the 6 week mark and my first ultrasound... YAY for time going by and all seemingly ok (please God). It's kind of weird... Besides having sore boobs, I really don't have any symptoms. I find myself hoping I am queasy at moments (which I know if I get hit with morning sickness I will fully regret- I prayed for boobs when I was 11, now I wish I had a bit less in that department). Stupid "what to expect, when you're expecting' says something along the lines of if you have morning sickness it means the pregnancy is going well, and studies show the worse the better... so of course now I want to be sick. (I really don't- but you know my thinking, I want signs that this pregnancy is going well).
I am on take-a-picture mission with Eric over the next week. If everything at our u/s looks ok we are telling my parents on Saturday. The u/s is on Friday, which is my mom's birthday- and my dad's birthday is the following Monday- so we are getting together with them on Saturday to celebrate their birthdays and to have their "Mortgage Dinner Party"- they paid it off and are so super excited, and I am proud of them... we have been through some things in the past (2 kids in college, job lay-offs) that this is so great!
So the choices for telling them are similar, but different
WHICH DO YOU LIKE BETTER???- both will be frames wrapped up as a joint birthday present (I want to film their reaction)
1) Do the baby poem in a frame (along with u/s picture if i get one, without if not)
I do not have a face to see,
Or put inside a frame.
I do not have soft cheeks to kiss.
I don't yet have a name.
Not yet can you hold my tiny hands,
Nor whisper in my ear.
It's still too soon to sing a song,
Or cuddle me so near.
But all that will change come this October;
When they say I am due.
I am your newest grandchild;
And I can't wait until I meet you!
All I ask between now and then
Is your love for me to grow.
I promise I'll be worth the wait;
Just think of all the joy we'll know!
So as you're waiting patiently,
Please pray lots of prayers for me.
I cannot wait to be a part
Of this wonderful family!
2) if there is time by next weekend- order personalized fortune cookies, sneak them to the restaurant, and ask the waiter to serve them.
not sure what I would write on them-
Carly & Eric are having a baby!
or something
3) Do the dual frame where there is a picture of Eric and I in one side, and the other side is Mastercard themed...
"Picture Developing, $0.50"
"Frame, $20.00"
"Realizing there are 3 people in this picture, Priceless!"
and in order to do option 2- i need a pic of Eric and I from after our BFP... so here is one I have, and there are a couple nights out this week where hopefully I can get some more so I have options- although I like this picture., I don't love it- but it'll do if we get nothing else... it is sad that we are going out to dinner on Monday and I may set up the tripod to take some pics LOL

At 16 weeks I still haven't had any m/s, don't read too much into WTE.
I vote Option 1.
