The Secret Is Out
Posted in: Pregnant
It looks like a blob but it’s not! It’s a baby! Right between the blue plus signs is the baby! OUR BABY! I’m pregnant!!! Did you figure it out from my Illustration Friday this week?
I emailed the picture of the ultrasound to Helen and Bridgette then called them and said “Go check your email!!” Then I hung up and waited for them to call back. Bridgette called back right away but Helen didn’t call back fast enough so we conference called her and she told my mom.
I didn’t think my parents would understand the picture and I was right. Here’s how the conversation went with my mom and my sister (except imagine them talking in Chinese).
Reasoning for warning.
Not just don’t do this because I don’t know, just don’t do it. Where’s the reasoning behind all the weird Chinese pregnant things?! I knew those weird Chinese suggestions would start once my mom knew and I almost kept the secret longer. But I am so happy. I didn’t want to keep it in any longer. Alan said I should have waited for Christmas to tell anyone and just dropped by all the relatives with the baby to tell them. He’s silly that husband of mine.
Now I can unhide all my posts that I’ve been writing about the pregnancy! Ummm…well maybe tomorrow. I’ve feeling a mite nauseous and am going to find food to stuff in my face or as I say to the dogs in the morning when they want their breakfast: No you eat later! Me and the baby come first!

Congratulations!!! what happy, happy news!!!! Nutty mothers aren’t limited to the Chinese culture - when I was pregnant with Daughter #1, I sent my mother the ultrasound picture. She was so upset — didn’t understand why the baby had no skin!! after I explained it was like an xray, she felt much better!

The hands over the head thing is supposed to cause (or risk) the cord going around the baby’s neck or something like that. Though who made that one up, I don’t know. Crazy.
