Secrets & morning sickness

I absolutely HATE keeping secrets...and Baby Bernardo is the biggest, hardest secret I have ever had to keep! My only saving grace is that we have a plan to tell my immediate family over Easter weekend, and I don't want anyone else to know before they do. So far, I have been very good, but I did have one slip-up at a work function, when a coworker noticed I was not drinking wine and jokingly asked "Are you pregnant?" I couldn't lie, but she was so sweet and assured me she would not say anything until I was ready to formally announce the pregnancy at work.

In other news, I started feeling nauseous this week, which is not fun, especially first thing in the morning, in the late afternoon, and right before I go to sleep. I am trying to eat frequently and drink lots of water, which seems to help. I am very excited to tell the family our big news next weekend! I normally tell my mom and sister everything, so I think they will be shocked :)

Baby Bernardo

We are thrilled to announce that we are expecting a baby in November 2010!!! Frank and I are incredibly blessed and we are eagerly anticipating the addition of Baby Bernardo to our family. Frank and I had only just started trying, but I swear I knew immediately that I was pregnant. I feared that I was actually going crazy and making up phantom symptoms, and I made myself wait until March 12 to take a pregnancy test...and it was positive! Frank sent me two dozen roses at work and took me out to a wonderful dinner to celebrate.


As of right now, I am only four weeks pregnant, and we are praying every day for a healthy baby and easy pregnancy!
