The other day I told her we have a blog, but I didn't tell her the name of it. I said "you are going to be a Grandma someday and I think that entitles you to a few surprises," so once we get pregnant I will tell her & she can play catch up. Until then, she just knows we are flying to San Diego to try...but that's it. I know she is probably curious about the actual methods...I would be. I mean duh, with my brother and sister in law it's obvious how they will try, but with Courtney and I we kinda get to choose how we go about this making a baby thing. It is all interesting. But until I am preggers we will keep the details to ourselves. I don't know if I am weird, well yes I do, I am...I just don't think it would be very strange to tell Mom how/what we are going to try in August, but I know Stace & Courtney are not as comfortable with my mom as I am...so I guess in my mind, after the fact, after we are home & pregnant (because of course it'll happen on the first try), Mom can look at the blog and read all about just how this baby was made. I hate leaving things out when I talk to her...but how many Grandmas know just how their grandbaby was made? Maybe I'm weird? Maybe she really doesn't want to know the hows & whens & all that...still I would :)
The point of this blog today - When I talked to Momma this morning, she told me she had something interesting for the blog. She had a dream last night that I was pregnant!! She was even telling her co-workers that I was pregnant, and they were asking about who the dad was & she told them Stacey, but remembered specifically saying the baby is mine & Courtney's. How neat is that?! I haven't had any dreams about being pregnant, yet. Knowing that she did & was excited to share it with me, was just really comforting this morning.
Side Note - I can't remember if I have said this before or not, but...if/when --positively thinking-- we get pregnant in August, we would find out right around Mom & Carol's (twin & other Mom) birthday towards the middle/end of August, we would find out if it's a boy or girl around Stacey's birthday in December, and the likely due date would be around Court's birthday in May! See why we just think this baby making is meant to happen when we go out to San Diego??? I'm sure I'm not the only one who correlates special dates to "knowing" that conception will happen, but like Court said before...strangely, when we wish for something (even out loud!!), it happens.
She will be such an awesome Grandma.
Until next time!! Baby Dust all around :)
I totally regret telling my mom WHEN we are starting to try to get pregnant. We decided not to tell anyone until I'm 12 weeks pregnant, but she's already asking me every time I talk to her, how her grandbaby is coming along. So last week I had to lie to her, we didn't tell anyone that we tried this month, but everyone knows we were planning to start in July. I felt totally bad about it, but I guess if we want to keep it a secret until 12 weeks in, there will be more lies. I tested yesterday and got a BFN...it was my first try and Im totally disappointed, but ready to move onto next month.
ReplyDeleteMy dreams usually consist of me NOT being pregnant, or nightmares about getting the timing for the IUI wrong...haha. It's already a big rollercaster ride and I just started!
Good luck to you, I hope you'll get lucky on the first try! :)
Oh my goodness, I could not imagine keeping it all in for 12 weeks!!! You are stronger than me, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the BFN :/ Fingers crossed next month will be it for you!!
