WEEK 6 MONTH 2 | OCTOBER 18TH - OCTOBER 24TH
B A B Y L E N T I L
This week I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in my brother-in-law's (and my new sister-in-law's) wedding, so I decided to use a photo from the wonderful event for my weekly showing. The dress was tight enough to still revealed my current shape. When I found out I was pregnant a month earlier, I was worried I might not fit in it. But I did thank goodness!
The announcement for my parents came as quite a surprise to them. I mailed them some photos of Landon I'd taken, thinking they'd probably appreciate some updated faces. In the middle of the stack I included the photo at right, hoping to reveal the news in a clever fashion. I received a phone call with the first words to me being "does this photo say what i think it says??" My mom had apparently flipped through the photos once, completely overlooking the announcement. It wasn't until she decided to look at each one closely again that she noticed the pumpkin had a date written on it, the wrong date she pointed out! THEN she noticed the outline of a fetus, ran to my dad and said "do you think this means what i think it means??". Couldn't have hoped for a better outcome to that little plan.
I've started to feel a very light, almost unnoticeable stomach uneasiness. Still no other symptoms. During Landon's pregnancy I had very few symptoms until now. I started feeling sick until 12 weeks. I found it hard to eat and often times had to sit by the toilet in the morning just in case. With pregnancy #5 the sickness hasn't reached that level yet. So I'm fully enjoying this lighter stage.

I still hadn't told much of the family about the pregnancy yet. I had told my sister and my brother, but not my parents. I was waiting to send them photos of my son that would reveal the secret to them in a special way since I couldn't do it in person. I hadn't planned on mentioning anything at the wedding this week either. However, it slipped out after the bride stared me down on the way to our hair appointment! When I admitted the truth to her, she started crying, saying she was so happy because she knew how hard it has been for us to keep a pregnancy. The news spread like wildfire to the other bridesmaids and before I knew it people were congratulating me left and right. I felt the warmth of positive outlook, and i needed that. The bride told me her day was made even better because of the announcement.
