Truly Thankful

We made it to 12 weeks. 12 weeks is a huge milestone as far as miscarriage risks go. Yes, something could still happen, but the chances are low and I am clinging to that. It is time to just enjoy being pregnant and not spend as much time worrying like crazy and still checking the toilet paper when I go to the bathroom.
Thanksgiving went great. I am sooo proud of us (me). The food was great, there was sooo much and I am loving leftovers. But even better- this was one of the few times my H's family and my family were together. They have met, but usually it is at a big event, not an intimate situation. Everyone got along great. This is great to know knowing we have a kiddo on the way and will be having birthdays and the like to celebrate as one big family.
We told DH's family on Thanksgiving. They are super excited, and his stepbrothers said 'we knew it' all because I didn't order a glass of wine the one time we went to dinner in this past 2 months. I had a video of their reaction, left the camera running on the table so you could see perfectly, the his step-mother got up, leaned against the table, and I kid you not- the whole video is her butt, perfectly centered with a wedgie and all, filling the whole screen. It is kind of hysterical, I had tears running down my eyes when I watched it, but I feel wrong about posting it here for the world to see.
On Friday we had the Turkey Trot bar crawl. We announced to our friends. My H is an idiot- I told him to call 2 people (his best friends from grade school who were not going to the bar crawl) and tell them b/c they should know before other people and should hear it from us. So he took that as tell everyone. So when I got to the event (a whole 10 minutes late) I got a bunch of congratulations, and I had to walk away and burst into tears. I love my husband but he is a moron sometimes- how could he not realize the reason we were announcing then was to see everyone? He took tell the two friends as a it's a free for all direction. At least because it was early, there were not too many of our friends there, so I didn't miss out on too many people- but I was mad. Oh well- he was excited and I am in hindsight glad for him, because he got all the attention- lets face it- when a couple announces you are super happy for them, but the girl generally gets all the attention with the 'how are you feeling' questions and the like. So at least he had his moment.
So the news is out, I still feel great, and we are very thankful.
Here is to hoping our little Lester looks great at our NT scan on Thursday :)
