Good morning. Early.

The past couple of mornings I've not had class until 9:30, but at about six I feel like I have to get up and eat or my queasiness will evolve into uber-queasiness. So I've been up early, which is so unlike me. I usually sleep until the last possible second. Like my husband is doing now. La la.

So I'm feeling okay except for a little ooginess at times. Also I'm sleepier than normal. And yeah.

I have learned that if one is just barely pregnant and doesn't want many people to know, one should not tell my mother about it. Jason has been calling her the Town Crier. Last night we went out to dinner: Mom sees mother of friend of mine from elementary school, "How are you? Katie's graduating medical school next week and she's pregnant!" Cousin from Seattle arrives at restaurant and says, "Hey Katie, how are you?" and Mom replies, "She's pregnant!" Repeat, repeat, repeat. Sigh. I am glad she's excited but I wish she would chill a little. Plenty of time to decorate the nursery and whatever else she's planning.

Contrast her to my Dad... I called my Dad and stepmom last night to make some graduation plans and I figured I should tell them before the news got there some other way (cough, cough... Mom.. cough, cough) and Dad was like, "How long has this been going on?" And I said about five weeks, and he was like, "OH, well then take it with a grain of salt. Don't like 20% of pregnancies not progress?" Thanks, Dad. So positive. No wonder my parents didn't stay married.

So I feel like I'm complaining a lot and I want to stop so I think I'll stop typing. I'm not complaining in real life, promise.

Oh yeah, apparently my in-laws are flipping out with excitement but I haven't talked to them. J. called them yesterday morning and then last night we were out at dinner until too late to call back. Anyway.

Gonna shower I guess.
