Who to tell, when to tell

We have only told a few family members so far. My parents, sister and BIL’s reactions were great. My MIL’s was pretty un-reactive, but in her defense, we told her with her mother and husband in another room and we didn’t want them to know yet.

Last night we told our neighbors. It felt so good to tell someone else. I wish I could tell everything, but we both want to wait until the 2nd trimester. We told our neighbors because they experienced 10 years of infertility and multiple losses. They are the most amazing couple who now have two beautiful children. They have been so helpful over the last two years. It’s been wonderful to have someone to talk to IRL who knows what it’s like to experience infertility and what it’s like to experience a loss during infertility.

We have our first ultrasound on Wednesday and I’m so nervous about it. I’m not thinking about it because I don’t want to work myself up. I’m tired and my breasts are sore, but besides that I’m feeling great. I almost wish I had morning sickness so I could be reassured everything is ok.
