When should we tell the family?

So Patrick and I have known that I am pregnant for roughly 5 days. We haven't told anyone yet. We are debating on when to break the news. Patrick thinks if we tell one family we have to tell the other family right away too because otherwise someone would blab. He is sooooo smart! He really knows my family already!

So right now we are thinking we will tell everyone around Christmas. It will be hard not to say anything when we go to see them in a week and a half for Thanksgiving, but I am going to try my best.

I also need to make an appointment to the doctor to find out how far along I am and exactly what I am supposed to be doing right now besides taking vitamins and rubbing cocoa butter lotion on my belly.

I'm pregnant!

So I took a pregnancy test today and it turned out positive. This is great news, if you believe a pregnancy test that you buy for a dollar can really be accurate.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited, but I don't quite believe it's true yet. But I did take pictures of the belly, just in case. It's tradition, right?
