Baby is the size of a...Peach
Total weight gain/loss? 3 lbs
Symptoms? Nada
What is making me queasy or sick? Nothing.
Food cravings? Nothing really...if I had to say something I would still say fruit, any and all fruit. I am going through a Costco size bag of Cuties every 1-1/2 to 2 weeks and at least 5 apples a week! At least I choose a healthy thing to eat a lot of!
Missing anything? Nothing really
Sleeping? Same as always
Started to show? A little, depending on what I am wearing. If you know, then you probably can tell. My mom and sister said I'm in the "I ate too many cupcakes" stage...aka the fat stage. ;-P
Emotions? Nothing different...I even confirmed with Jason
Best moment this week? Telling everyone!!
Who did you tell this week? Our parents, sibling, one set of Jess's grandparents, both of Jason's Grandmas and pretty much whole Becker Family.

Fears & excitements? It was SO much fun to tell our family last weekend! It feels so much more real and exciting now that people know! It is so fun to see everyone's reactions they are all so great!
To do List? Now that the secret is out the list of things that we need to get done is starting to get long! We are just enjoying telling people this week and will deal with the "To Do" next week! :)
Last weekend was the best weekend ever! It was so much fun to tell our families!
My sister Colie was the first person we told. We were heading up to Breckenridge to meet my parents on Friday afternoon for the weekend and were going to ride together. We had (4) Easter baskets on the front table, (2) big ones with candy for Jason and I, (1) medium size one with a rope ball for Gibson, and (1) little one with two nuks and a rattle for Baby B. When Colie came in, we asked if she noticed anything about the Easter baskets and she of course did not get it. She said "There is candy in them" and "Is one of them for me?" We then told her to go look a little closer and then she saw the nuks and it finally clicked. She looked at the Easter baskets, looked back at me, looked at the Easter baskets, started to say something (not much came out though) and came over and gave us a hug. It was the exact reaction we were thinking we would get from her! We also gave Colie a "Aunt" Easter card with a picture of Gibson wearing his sign.
We told my parents when we got up to Breckenridge. We had made them a sign that said "The best parents get promoted to Grandparents" wrapped it and told them we had a present for their newly remodeled bathroom. They opened it and Mom started reading it out loud. She got to the third word and just started jumping up and down and crying and then they both gave us huge hugs. We also gave them a "Grandpa & Grandma" Easter card with a picture of Gibson wearing the sign as well. They were both so excited! We had Colie discreetly record them opening it, which was awesome to be able to replay!
We didn't tell anyone else until Sunday afternoon, though my Dad found a few strangers to tell the good news too...I think he was a tad excited! ha-ha
Sunday afternoon after Easter brunch we Skyped with Jason family. They were all over at Aunt Ann's so it was fun to be able to tell them all at once. Maddie always wants to see Gibson so when we switched over to him, he was sitting there wearing the sign. They read it out loud and everyone got very excited. Baby B will be grandbaby #5 this year for the Becker side! There are two granddaughters already, 1 more on the way, and 3 unknown. So Grandma Becker (and everyone else) is wanting at least one boy in the bunch! I got the evil eye from both Kim and Ashely for feeling completely fine and not being overly tired or getting any morning sickness as they were not so lucky. It was fun to share the news with everyone and catch up even though we couldn't be there.
We told Nana & Papa next. We were wanting to tell them on Skype but Papa wasn't able to get working so we just called them instead. We had them on speaker so my Mom, Dad, Colie, and Jason and I could catch up and hear about their Easter. Then I told them that we had a question for them and was wanting to say "I know you were able to handle to weddings in one year, are you able to handle two great grandkids in one year" but Nana beat me to the punch line and cut me off after the two wedding statement and said "Can we handle two babies? YES!!" They were both very excited Nana said she had been praying for me and for the news and had said to Papa that she wondered if we were going to tell them I was pregnant since we were pushing Skype so much. Nana then asked us if we were going to be there for Erusha Christmas, we told her that was still quite a ways away but she just wanted to know when she would be able to see the baby! ha-ha!
Krista was the last one we told on Sunday. She was in Chicago with a friend for Easter weekend and didn't get back to school until late so it was 9:15pm (MST) before we talked to her. We Skyped with her as well and caught up with how her Easter weekend was then asked if she wanted to see Gibson. He was sitting nicely with his sign on. It took a second for it to click (but MUCH faster than Colie) but she freaked out. First she was upset that we didn't tell her sooner, then she started planning all the of clothes she was going to have to buy for the new baby. She just couldn't decide if she wanted a boy for sweater vests and bow ties or a girl for the twirly-wirly dresses. Then she got all excited because she is moving to Chicago this summer and with Jason's family outside of Chicago we would have to bring the baby to her sometime too. Needless to say she was very excited!
Once Mom and Dad get back to MN they are going to get Skype set up for Grandpa so we can tell him. For our close friends we sent them an Easter card with a picture of Gibson wearing his sign and signed the cards Jason, Jessie, Gibson, and Baby B. They should get them Wednesday or Thursday this week. I am planning on telling work next week and after that the word will pretty much be out.
It was a very fun and exciting weekend! We are so blessed to have such great family and friends and Baby B already has so much love!
Sorry for long post but I wanted to get the stories of telling everyone down. Everyone had such a great reactions!
