I guess it's time to announce that ... I'm pregnant.

13 weeks tomorrow.  And I had blood drawn for the Maternit-21 test almost two weeks ago, so I should know the gender pretty soon, too (and of course the results of the genetic testing, ahem).

I wrote a bunch of posts that I didn't publish just so I could get my feelings down on "paper", and they definitely show that I was wildly emotional for a while there.  I could publish them, I suppose.  We'll see.

In the meantime, now that the first trimester is at an end, and morning sickness has essentially called it a day, I'm telling everyone about the pregnancy.  I had my first midwife appointment today, and I'm actually pretty excited. It feels so strange to do this all the way a normal person would - not just because there was no infertility treatment involved, but because it's not twins!!!  I can't tell you how excited I am about the not twins part.

So, that's the announcement.  Wheeeeeee!  And whew.  The secret is out.
