Well, so now we're 10 weeks into this pregnancy. I feel great. No more nausea, not so tired. I feel great. I went shopping yesterday and bought a batch of maternity clothes. I'm not showing much, but my regular clothes are a little binding through the belly.
We told Eric the news last weekend. He was not impressed on first telling. I think that was due to miscommunication; he did not realise there's a baby growing in my belly right now. He's been expecting a sibling since September 23rd. We had a conversation with more detail later in the week, when he asked me how the baby gets out. (!)
Sticking to our philosophy of honesty-in-moderation, I told him "God made a special opening." It's factual, without the sort of details that make other parents wish I wouldn't tell my son those sorts of thing. Unfortunately, he followed that up with a request to see that opening when the baby comes out. (Ohhh boy...) I told him that might not be such a good idea, since the opening is in my private parts.
"OH, Mommy!! That's disgusting!!! I think I'm goin' to throw up!!!!"
And thus the issue is resolved. (whew)

Well. My Sarah had it all figured out because of several younger friends down at Trinity, but I didn't learn until much later how she figured it out. Because ladies' belly buttons would stick out the further they went along in pregnancy, of course, they came out the belly button! No need to ask at all, there!
