Hooray!!

This story made my heart so happy! We've slowly been sharing our news with a few close friends here and there, mostly to get Dr. advice or to explain why I could only eat a few bites of a delicious dinner that they made for us. About a week ago we invited our friends (names have been left out until further notice) over for dinner. We thought it was probably time to let them in on the secret as well. With the ultra sound pictures on the fridge, we figured they might notice them and say something... Well, sure enough, Wife saw them and said "You have something exciting on your fridge!" I smiled and said "Yes, we're expecting a baby!" Curt piped up and made sure they knew that I've been pretty sick and that I don't eat very much at a time. To which Wife responded "You poor girl, I understand...100%." I was still chopping fruit for dinner, so it took me a second to realize what she said. I looked at her and said, "Wait, 100%?" and she smiled and said "100%! I'm just a month behind you!" YAY!!! I wanted to jump for joy! We spent the whole rest of the night talking about puking and doctors and clothes not fitting and not being able to eat ANYTHING and bloating and emotions...the whole 9 yards (our poor husbands). What a relief to have a close friend going through this same crazy experience with me! We've talked almost every day since then, supporting each other through the woes. And better yet, I have someone to maternity shop with!! I love my husband with all my heart, but he is so not fun to shop with. It might not seem like a big deal, but I'm so far away from all of my family and my in-laws and it means so much to me to have a girlfriend who I can complain to, shop with and sympathize with. What a blessing!
