I’m free!

Something wonderful happened last night. I took my very last Prometrium. Hooray! Never thought I’d be so excited to have prescription run out. I remember starting it 7-8 weeks ago, and my OB saying I’d be on it until about 12 weeks, and that seemed just so far away. I was so worried that, once again, I wouldn’t make it that far. And yet, here I am! Each little mini-milestone like this is really exciting, even though it seems like a small thing.

Getting very excited to tell the whole world about Thing 1 and Thing 2. My mom, dad, and brother all called me yesterday. In part to say hi and see how I was doing (very unusual for my brother), and in part to ask, yet again, whether they could tell people. My dad is the worst. He called while traveling in Denver. It’s not like he was at a big family event where it was going to be hard to keep it from people (he has 8 siblings). No, he was by himself, traveling for business. He was quite bummed when I told him he’d have to wait until next week, but apparently he already has the email ready to send to his brothers & sisters, so he only needs to click “send.” I asked him if MS Outlook has some kind of safety guard system to compensate for an itchy trigger (mouse) finger…

I’m definitely gaining weight, and my husband claims he can see an actual difference in my lower belly (aside from just pudge). I feel like I’m just putting on weight, but he says it looks different. I find that, when I lie down, I can poke around my belly and feel the difference where my big old uterus is. Very, very exciting.
