Update! Doctor's appointment went really well - I got to actually meet my doctor: Shannon Moorehead. I don't know why I chose her out of all the doctors out there (haha), but I do like her! Got to see the little hybernating nugget via ultrasound & hear the heartbeat! Daniel wasn't there since he had to be at work, but I knew he would have been so excited. The next ultrasound is not until week 18, which is in January, and that's when they determine the sex. And the official due date per Dr. Moorehead is June 26th.
So that was the really great part of the day. I did have to go in to work after the appointment (my lovely 11:30-8pm shift), and it was seriously the most miserable 8 hours of my life. I threw up 5 times and thought I was going to die!
Luckily the dr gave me a prescription for Zofran, which Daniel filled for me yesterday. I have to let it dissolve on my tongue (sick), but it has really helped. We went to my nephew's baby blessing this morning (so good), then went for breakfast and I ate a full meal! My first full meal in a couple weeks! Then we went and ran all of our errands without a problem and even went to the movies & had popcorn! You know, sometimes it's the little things in life that make a difference. I hope things are smooth sailing from here, but even if they're not, I will definitely be grateful for today.
Anyway, as far as telling our families...well the longer we wait the easier it is getting. We'd really like to plan the perfect time to make it fun & memorable, but if we can't wait until Christmas then I don't really know when the best time to break the news would be. My older sister is not going to be at my mom's for Thanksgiving, and we're not even sure what Daniel's family is doing that day at all. I kind of wish the stars would align and point us in the right direction...maybe they still will. :)
