I took the opportunity that my parents were here for the wedding to tell them the news in person. I was very nervous because I had no idea what their reaction would be and it was quite an important moment for me. It would also have to be the right time, the time I was ready to tell them without stressing unbelievably.

So in the end I told my mum first. She was outside smoking a cigarette  and we were talking about her health. She said that all she wanted now was to live enough to see her grandchildren. That was it. I didn’t have the heart to pretend nothing was going on and I wouldn’t have the face to say it later. It was bad because Russ wasn’t there but I had no choice. So I told her she didn’t have to wait much. She didn’t understand and it took about 5 times of me saying that it was true and I am pregnant for her to believe me. Bless. I think she was very happy and she’s been asking ow I’m feeling all the time.

Them it was my dad. The moment was at dinner when we were all having a nice conversation and Russ said I better say it because we probably won’t have the opportunity.

I told him. He laughed and said he was expecting it. He said it was the only thing left for me to do. He smiled a lot and tapped me in the back awkwardly. I guess it’s his way to say he was happy and proud. He text my stepmom with the news immediately

So that did it. They know and are happy and I am happy too. I just hope that everything goes well adn we can tell everyone

Wow! It’s been quite a few weeks. We had the wedding (which went great), family to deal with, another wedding… No time to rest.

I have been exhausted. Fortunately most of the sickness went away, including at the wedding, so no one got suspicious. Although people kept asking when are thinking of having kids and it was really odd cos I couldn’t tell them but I didn’t want to lie. But the tiredness…  it has been too much for me. Not only the pregnancy makes me need more rest, the wedding and everything that followed made it worse and at work they asked me to work longer hours and run around trying to solve problems. I finally had some time today to have some sleep and rest

The sickness has taken a different approach. Now I get sick after dinner until I go to bed, whatever I do, whatever I eat. It’s not too bad though considering that they say the 9th week is when I’m supposed to feel more sick. Lemon makes me feel better (which is good cos I love lemon) but it gives me heart burn. Can wait to the 29th. The first ultrasound. I am uite nervous though. I just hope everything is ok.
