This past weekend has been about telling a few folks that needed to hear it 'first' rather than on a public announcement. It's hard to believe that the first trimester is over and it's safe to do this. I also feel like I need to find a neat way to release it to the masses. The reactions really run the gambit from a person hopping around and squealing to silent shock and awe. The people you expect to be pretty excited are not and those you think won't have much to say often surprise you with their reaction.
I still haven't really gained weight if we ignore the fact that I put some on during the cruise where everything happened. I guess that makes me review the facts a little too - and wish there was more frequent check ins on heartbeats.
My chest and back remain incredibly dry and itchy. The rash I had has gone away, thank goodness. Of course, the rash and dry/itchy back is just as likely from the sun/sunscreen while away so the only puzzling issue is the dry chest because it did not get sunburned.
