I knew my parents would be excited but I didn't realize how much so! I got to spend hours talking with my mom about some of my early pregnancy woes and she had so much terrific advice from hers. She also took me out shopping for a few baby outfits and some clothes for me to accommodate the new growth. My dad was thrilled as well already planning on how to set up their cabin to be baby friendly and offering all kinds of support from gear to housing to baby-sitting. I definitely enjoyed the excitement after having kept things secret for the last month!
Sometimes I wonder how I got here, never one for taking the well-traveled road. And while I hope my future progress is a little more direct, I'm sure there'll be many more twists and turns along the way.

Telling the parents...
This past weekend we visited my folks and broke the news about our pregnancy! I was super nervous to tell anyone so early (we thought we were about ~8-9 weeks), but at the same time, being my first pregnancy I really really wanted to be able to ask my mom questions and advice as well as have her support if something did go awry. I googled announcement onesies and found some really cute ones but they were so expensive! So I decided, despite my lack of craftiness to do it myself. A few Gerber onesies and some iron-on transfer paper and some advice we were set!
