Retroactive Post X: 5w5d First Ultrasound

OMG!!! I'm so excited. I scheduled Le Bebe's first ultrasound this morning. It will be February 2oth at 11:00 AM. I can't wait to see our little one's heartbeat for the first time. Seeing the heartbeat is HUGE; from what I've read 85% of pregnancies are successful if the heartbeat is seen.

We have decided to start telling people after this ultrasound. I can't wait. I've thought about waiting until the first trimester is over, but figured there was really no point. I would wind up telling the people I'm going to tell if something went wrong anyway so it doesn't really matter to me. As I've said I would have told everyone the second we found out if it hadn't been for MH. I guess I've never really understood the waiting to tell people thing, but I think I'm more 'out there' with my life than most. Technically, I'm not telling everyone- only close friends and family...no co-workers, no acquaintances...so I guess I have some modesty! I would prefer to tell people at work when the baby is actually here...HAHA! I'm not close to anyone at work so I'm not sure how to drop it into conversation.

I'm having a really hard time not telling my mother. Every time we talk I want to scream "I'm pregnant!" Maybe she already knows since I haven't been complaining and crying AND I never told her it didn't work. I need to think of a cute way to tell her....
