??.
Have positive thoughts and when you deliver… Start a 529 plan… Lol… ?.
This is such wonderful news! Congratulations!!!
Adding my most heartfelt congratulations to you & Mr. Romani!!!
Thank You for sharing! Super great news!!!
I volunteer to be your designated drinker while you are pg/breastfeeding. OK?
I will start with a toast to you tonight:).
? and ?
Congratulations! I love the idea of being a designated drinker @oregon101! I volunteer too!
So happy for you!
Enjoy those drinks for me! Vodka and cranberry and blue moon are my favorites 
Have a few for Mr R too. We made a deal a long time ago that if I have to give up drinking, he has to too lol. (I actually won’t hold him to this but knowing Mr R he’ll do it anyway - especially since we mostly gave up drinking when we started trying.)
Mr R doesn’t know yet but we just so happen to be visiting friends this Friday and one friend is one who films everything and managed to get my surprise engagement on camera because of it. So I enlisted him to help me surprise Mr R AND get his reaction on camera. It’s something very small so if anything happens between now and then, we call it off and I keep his surprise gift (that I’ve had for a while) secret longer.
Also, every summer, we go on a family vacation with Mr R’s brothers, their wives, and their children. It just happens to be this weekend. One of my best friends and I are making the niblings shirts that say “Biggest cousin” “Big cousin” “littlest cousin” with the littlest crossed out with a “big cousin” underneath and a little one for baby Romani that says “littlest cousin.” I unabashedly stole the idea from someone else but it was so freaking cute. One SIL already knows and is in on everything with me.
All best wishes for you. Are you sure you want to involve cousins yet? I would be inclined to have the shirts on hold for a while. Or maybe give them to the parents for later distribution? I do love the cousin shirt idea.
Anyway, I’m so happy for you! Still remember your wedding thread!
@dragonmom the cousins are 2, 9 mo, and 8 mo. They’re not going to know what’s going on lol. Even if something happens, this will probably be the only time I’m with all of them without the grandparents for a long while (and I plan on surprising the grandparents with that particular picture). I’m taking a picture of them in the shirts even if this pregnancy doesn’t go to term. When I’m ready to tell Mr R’s parents and go public, I’ll use that picture as part of my announcement.
If they were older and could understand what was going on, I would feel very different. One SIL already knows and all siblings-in-law know I’m trying. We’re a very, very close knit bunch.
Lots of prayers coming your way for healthy baby! Congratulations!
WOW! Be sure to get a couple of quantitative HCG tests over the next week so you can evaluate the PG status.
BTW, I hate to be a Debby-downer … but I agree with @dragonmom. Don’t tell anyone you know about the PG until you’re at 10 weeks or more! Why? Because, Mother Nature is an extremely stern taskmaster at this stage and she’ll end a PG if she sees anything out of the ordinary. If it doesn’t work out, you’ll be reminded of it for months by people who don’t get word of the MC. Well-meaning people will constantly ask how things are going and you have to repeat and relive the news over and over again. It’s very unpleasant, BTDT.
@droppedit I’ve been open with a handful of close family and friends about everything that’s happened. My siblings-in-law will instantly know something is going on when they don’t see me drinking caffeine during our vacation. They’ve known me for nearly a decade and they know I’m an addict. They all know
Even if I fool them then, they’ll figure it out when I’m not taking the meds that make me sick and going in for ultrasound appointments. These are the only people who will know until at least 12 weeks - maybe longer because of the fetal heart block possibility. I stay with my sisters-in-law at least once a week (they live close to the archives where I do my research so I stay with them) so they’ll figure it out and I’d rather tell them on my terms.
I truly do understand what you guys are saying though and agree. But I brought this on myself by being open about my infertility. Outside of that small, very tightly-knit group, I’m keeping my mouth shut until at least around Halloween.
Congrats!!
Nutrition is really underrated in pregnancy still, eat a really healthy diet. Lots of veggies etc.
I think you need the support of all for good times and bad. Celebrate every moment.
(I can’t believe you’ve kept it quiet from Mr. R! That’s willpower!)
OH Geez…are you my real D? I love vodka and cranberry and Blue Moon with a thin slice of orange. So we are on…
Whatever you decide will be ok for you. Heartbreak is heartbreak no matter when it happens but with a few of us toasting your pg to the gods and angels and fairies it will be ok in the end.
I may have posted this before but-- One of my therapy clients struggled mightily and then had twins. She reminded me that I told her she would have children within a year by birth or adoption. She just sent me pictures of her two girls turning one. Full term pg. So! I promise to think of you for every cranberry vodka and Blue Moon coming up.
This is wonderful news. Sending LOTS of positive vibes for good healthy progress in the weeks to come!
How wonderful that your sib in laws are so close. ?
So excited for you - congratulations.
I too still remember your wedding thread, and seeing the pics. We are here to share your journey with you.
Oh Romani, I’m delighted for you! This is wonderful news.
