My mom came back in town this weekend and we asked her to come over last night, even though she was babysitting Callie and wouldn't be able to come over until 8:30 or 9:00. I told her we wanted to give her a birthday present we'd picked out.
We'd picked up a book this weekend while in Grand Junction in a national park gift shop called "Grandparents Colorado Style" that has all these fun things to do in CO with grandkids. I printed the pictures from the ultrasound and put them inside the book.
She unwrapped the book and ooed and awed over what a great idea this was. I kept looking at Chris with a big smile and a little giggle and I was like, "yea, it's a great idea, isn't it?" It began to sink in with my mom, then, and she looked confused and excited and Chris told her to open to the front. She took one glance at the ultrasound and began jumping and dancing around the deck shouting and screaming and clapping. Later when it began to sink in while looking through the ultrasound pictures, she cried.
I'm so glad I got to tell my mom! I finally got to ask her how she felt in the first trimester. I keep wondering if it's normal that I haven't been throwing up, but she never threw up, either. Just lots of sleepiness and some queasiness, similar to what I'm having now.
