I'm in awe with the knowledge of my first offspring growing inside. Peanut has started to roll around, I felt it already a couple of weeks ago. Seems hubby's enthusiastic as well, he wants to know when Peanut's moving. It's not clear everytime.... sometimes it's just passing wind.
Hilarious, right?
We told the rest of our family about Peanut at the Christmas dinner. It was amazing how they were surprised and awed. Then it was time for asking all these questions... "Why didn't you tell before? You've known about this for a long time. When did you know you were having a baby? Was it a long process?" Whew. I had prepared for some questions but few of them took me by surprise so I had to come up with politically correct answers. I'm not the-centre-of-the-universe-kinda person so it was a little aqward when everyone's focus is on you. It all went well, though.
The second ultrasound is due in two weeks so we get to see how Peanut's been doing and possibly learn whether it's a he or she. We'll see...

Butterflies in my tummy
Well, one at least.
Peanut has started to move around. Today I was sitting comfortably in the living room arm chair, watching telly with hubby when something did move inside me! It was a gentle brush against my uterus wall, like a feather brush but a little stronger. My eyes went saucer-sized and I whispered to hubby on the sofa that something moved! I was amazed how early it was but I was sure of what it was.

Spreading the news
We had a staff meeting in Dec. Right before, my boss pulls me to side and says maybe I should tell the other about this condition of mine so they wouldn't have to wonder about my random absences. I was a bit shaken afterwards... In the meeting when boss asked if there's anything we wanna add, I opened my mouth and said: "As an info, me and my secret passenger are due June 4th", I added, "It hasn't been very long so I'd appreciate it if you kept it to yourselves for a while". All but one congratulated :) She realized why I hadn't done a job I was once supposed to do, that she was now stuck with.
So, after the meeting I went to see my uncle who's working in the same building and told him. He shook my hand and congratulated. I told him about my mom and dad's reactions and said I was still going to be around for a while.
