How did the big reveal go at the weekend? It was last weekend, yes?

Re: Lauren

  • Yep! They went great!

    We went out to dinner Saturday night for his dad and sister's bday. At the end of dinner we passed down their cards with the rest. They were taking forever to open them all! SIL opened hers first and had to stay quiet until FIL got his opened too. It was so loud in there everyone at the other end didn't see what they opened, so I just yelled out 'we're having a baby!'  Here's a couple of pictures of their cards and expressions when they opened them! FIL's face was priceless!

    I did a photo slideshow for my family starting with old pictures of my grandmother and granddad when they were young, when they got married. Then I said 'their family grew...' and had pics of my mom, aunt and uncle growing up. 'And grew...' with lots of pictures of all of us grandkids from babies til now. 'And grew some more...' with pictures of the two great grand kids ( my nephews). 'It's growing again...." Then the ultrasound picture flashed up! And another slide that said 'Baby Wade coming 8.26.12'. I don't think anyone saw that one b/c they all attack hugged me at once they saw the ultrasound pic! we tried to get video, but it was really dark since we had the lights out while watching the movie. But man was it great. Everyone was crying! Here's a picture of me, my mom and grandma. Granny put the ultrasound pic over my belly. So silly! :)

    How are you feeling?

    I was doing great, but it seems like as soon as I hit 8 weeks (this past sunday) the nausea started to hit me. It's been mostly in the afternoon and gets worse closer to bedtime, but I'm struggling this morning! I keep popping gum or bites of anything I find to keep it at bay. I thought I was going to be a lucky one! haha. Hopefully it'll go away soon.
