I bought a new bra and one of those bands. Yep, I did it. Yesterday I braved the fates and I bought what I desperately needed, and so now I am much more comfortable.
But that's not all I did. The Boy and I told people. Specifically, our families and some close friends of mine who were aware that we had been trying for a while.
It feels weird, and makes me really really anxious, as if by telling people I could super double jinx things. But at this point, after the test results and the number of weeks, we decided that it was time.
Of course then I panicked, because we hadn't been to the OB since the CVS test, and who knows what could have gone wrong. For at least three days I was convinced I had made a terrible error in telling people because I was sure that I had been leaking amniotic fluid since the CVS and that everything was over. As it turns out, I went in for my scheduled appointment on Tuesday and everything IS just fine, and I am 13 weeks today.
And next week, when my boss returns from vacation, I'm going to tell him and stop wearing oversized shirts and holding my stomach in. Because it doesn't feel good and is starting to not really work. And so then? Then I will be out for real.

Congratulations!!! SO good to hear you have some clothing that makes you more comfortable. And REALLY great to hear that the baby is confirmed well after the CVS. What a creepy test, I swear if my kid makes it it'll probably always hold that against me subconsciously.
ReplyDeleteIt has actually been good for me to have my parents get a little annoyed at my pessimistic perspective. This helps me realize that maybe I am being a bit too cautious and should be a little more chill about it all. I hope it works out that way for you too. You always have us in the blogosphere to commiserate on the jinxy-nerves!!!
Thanks for your post on my blog -- I decided not to do the FSH test as dh wouldn't be back when the results came. Why pay so much money to possibly torture myself all alone? We should get the results back either next Friday, or more likely, the day after Labor Day.
ReplyDeleteI am very glad you got what you need. By 13 wks I cannot imagine you have many things that are comfortable to wear. I think it is good to tell people at this point, you deserve to celebrate this pregnancy with those that love you.
ReplyDelete*I'm* jealous! 13 weeks and you look pregnant? Lucky! You'll probably feel the baby soon, too... sigh. I totally went through the same thing- panicking after I told people. A few days after I told my parents I had that horrible dream that the baby had died. Luckily, it hadn't. Obviously. But still- it was really really a sort of traumatic transition, coming out with things. I imagine it will be a second wave of traumatic transition when we start obviously showing... which sounds like it will be soon for you!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I'm super thrilled that everything continues to go well. Very very exciting.
How exciting!! We're starting to feel a little less freaked out by telling people too :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same, I preface every thought about this pregnancy with..."if this works out"... I'm afraid if I don't I'll jinx it.
ReplyDeleteOne time I thought I was leaking amniotic fluid, turns out my doc thought I peed myself. nice!
Oh what a happy day! I am so stoked for you. I know that it's hard to trust that this is happening, but it is and you should enjoy it. Yea for being comfortable, too. Those bands are awesome.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! It is a BIG step to come out of the closet like that. And I'm sure your belly and boobs thank you too. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you came out. Now you can wear that baby bump like a badge of honor! You lucky duck!
ReplyDeleteYay! Oh so exciting (and, yes, nerve grinding)!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on these thrilling milestones. I does sound scary, but also wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you are out of the closet (and that your bodacious tatas are able to be a bit more comfortable:). And I really do think that you did this at exactly the right moment. I know there are no certainties in life, but you've passed the big, scary hurdles. I am SO VERY GLAD.
ReplyDeletecongratulations! I'd do anyhting to get to where you are now. I am 6 weeks behind you and praying every day that the little thing holds on. I hope you enjoy the next 6 months as much as possible.
