@romanigypsyeyes I am so happy for you! I didn't meet my baby until she was 23 months old, but at the moment I first saw her, crying, pissy and stinky in a hotel room in China, I totally got it! And you and your Mr. will too. I am excited for you!

1- funny enough, the place our friends picked for the Friday dinner surprise is called Blaze pizza. They didn't know the due date so it was a coincidence but a hilarious one.
2- since Mr R and I are both 6'+, the growing like a weed puns will be accurate and funny.
3- just FWIW, we have our short list of names already picked. We're leaving the sex a surprise and choosing gender neutral first names.

Thank you all Quite ready to tell Mr R tomorrow! I'm really glad I waited until I had a few confirmations since he is convinced the infertility is his fault somehow. I think he would take a false positive or early miscarriage even harder than I would.

Well, my mommy sobbed. When my sister was pregnant, my sister and parents weren't on speaking terms so this will be the first grandchild pregnancy she gets to go through. Biology has never meant a thing to my mom, since she's always treated my sister like she was her own, but this will be her first biological grandchild.
My dad was also very excited but had nothing on my mom haha.
Oh, they're also very, very excited that the baby is getting mine/their last name. My in-laws are going to throw a fit over this.

His siblings will learn tomorrow at the beginning of vacation and my sister already knows.
We're not telling his parents for a while for reasons that I'd rather not get into on here.
