Don't Drink the Water

It's too late - I drank the water. The story behind this:
The Cow Boss was in the office today as he needed a ride to his pickup. Me, G, and N were all standing around the workroom table when he came in the office. G and N are both 8+ months pregnant and the Cow Boss thought he'd be funny and he told me not to drink the water. Too Late PAPA! Ah, it's times like those I just want to really surprise people and say guess what?! But I've resisted so far. I'm a day away from being ten weeks, but it looks like we'll be waiting until 14 weeks to tell people. I know it's the right thing to do but it is really killing me. I'm so bad at keeping secrets!

I pray you are growing as normal baby. I feel like I've been eating more than normal so that's probably helping you out. All of my clothes still fit, for now, but my appetite seems to be increasing. Or maybe it's just because I feel the best when I'm not hungry which makes me eat and eat. Sam doesn't think I'm overeating (or so he says) but I'm going to pay more attention to the amount of sugar and salt I put into my mouth. Sugar is definitely my downfall!

I know there are going to be some obvious questions that people will ask me when we announce my pregnancy.

1. Is this the reason you changed jobs?
- No, it's not. Yes, I wanted to travel less so I could be home more and have a better relationship with my husband but did I quit my job just to get pregnant, no. And I didn't know that I was pregnant when I left my old job. It was during my two weeks in between jobs that we found out this little secret.

2. Are you crazy - your husband will be at police academy when you're due!
- Yes, we realize that. We trust that God's timing is perfect. I'm actually not even worried about this at all. Not sure why, but I just have a peace that God's plan is perfect. Even if Sam misses the majority of the labor process, he is not overseas fighting a war, and he will be there as soon as he can be! I might have to rely on others to get me to the hospital but it will be ok!

Ok, I just wanted to get those cleared up. Makes me feel better. This weekend my parents are coming up to hang out at the lake. AKA all grandparents will be together at the same time. AKA it would be perfect to tell them. Sam said no. I'm learning patience!
