Yesterday we shared the baby news with my extended family. I called my grandparents and aunt in Croatia first. My grandpa's reaction was priceless. I could visualize his happiness and his facial expressions. He told me that he was even teary-eyed. God, I miss them so much! My aunt was super cute about it too. She was so excited that she is going to be a great aunt (at 39, mind you).
My other grandparents had just flown into CA from Croatia for a winter visit. It was my grandfather's 77th birthday yesterday, so I was excited that I was able to tell him on his birthday. As happy I was to share the news with the rest of the family, a part of me was really sad that I wasn't able to be with all of them in person. Apparently my father got pretty wasted yesterday from all his celebratory drinking. He had been keeping the secret for the past 6 weeks, so the man was bursting to tell people!
In baby news, I am still battling on and off nausea. Some days its better, some worse. But its definitely always the worst after dinner. My boobs are still killing me. Overall, everything is the same as it has been for the past month or so.
DH and I went to PF Chang's for dinner on Wednesday night. I had the gnarliest craving for chicken fried rice. I got the coolest fortune in my fortune cookie. Remember when we got our BFP, that cycle we got a fortune from PF Chang's that said "Your present plans are going to succeed" (?) Well, this time, I open my cookie, and its says "daughter" in English and then the Chinese translation. Of course our baby's health and well being is first and foremost, but DH and I have always wanted a little girl. So, that fortune is extra special to us....and we'll just have to wait and see till January!

Yay! Congratulations of telling the family!
Can't wait to see if the fortune cookie was right!
You're so freaking cute with your bump - I'm envious!!!!
Glad you were able to tell everyone. We had to tell everyone on the phone, so I remember wanting to be together and in person with them. Sounds like your dad is one happy guy. =D
