Another December Bub!
It's taken a while, certainly longer than expected, but I am finally a Mum in training. Little Squishy is due on the 5th of December (though I am sure that will change).
I just wanted to share that with others who get just how big a deal that is. It sounds odd but even though everyone I love (with exception of hubby) is excited it takes all of 10 min for them to go back to themselves. I have only just found out (at home test yesterday arvo, Dr confirmed today) and have gone from a total high to "what happened".
The Dr didn't believe me but I insisted I do the test and hey I'm right. The real downer was when I was asked how old am I and did I plan it. Firstly I have seen this guy 3 times in the last two months with concerns about not being pregnant yet (great listening skills) and secondly who cares how old I am. As it happens I am 26 and known my husband since I was 13, enganged for 5 years and married less than 6 months - I think I know what I am getting into here. Definetly time for a new Dr.
As for the reactions of others I've had a mixed bag. My Mum has asked three times am I certain, no I made it up, of course I am certain. Dad wanted to remind me that I could still miscarry (what? thats supposed to help me?) and the inlaws wanted to talk about their cars and their youngest son. I am not sure what I expected but it all seems depressingly uneventful.
I do get it that this is big for me not them but I thought that given the gravity of the situation it might be a little different. I wondered if anyone else had that moment of "is that all?"
My family (Husband, Dogs and I) are happy and at the end of the day that's what counts. Though in all honest I think the dogs were just picking up on the enthusiasim of us both.That said I am over the moon and can't wait to meet this little person.

don't worry too much about others, they will never be as excited as you are (except your hubby) although they should be somewhat excited for you!!! It's a huge deal! It's a miracle.... unfortunately these days there are many ppl wrapped up in their own little worlds that they can't stop even for 5mins to give you your 'moment'
