Ah..some clarity
I finally have a better understanding of sweetie's (my husband) motives for not wanting to tell people about the baby. Just got off the phone with him and boy, do I feel like a load has been lifted. So, this is the deal:
We have been planning on moving to Arizona for about the last year or so. Just out of the blue, sweetie decided that he wasn't sure about Arizona and that we weren't going. This was about 2 months ago. I asked him why, and he never would say, just that he changed his mind. Of course, since I'm such a mama's girl, I was estatic to be staying here. I was somewhat sad for the lost opportunity, but happy nonetheless. So, he finally tells me, after I found out I was pregnant, that he knew this was going to happen. He apparantly knew I was going to get pregnant. Call it what you will, but sweetie and both of my sons have this supernatural knowledge thing goin' on. It's freaky, but it sure helps clarify things sometimes.
So, after saying all that again on the phone tonight, he tells me that he only wants to wait to tell his family. Not because he wants to hide it, but because he wants to see them in person, explain the whole Arizona thing, and then tell them about the baby. He doesn't feel like it would be fair to tell them over the phone. We hardly see them because of distance and time constraints, so that's only fair. I totally agree with him.
I feel like a weight has been lifted. Now I can begin wearing my maternity clothes without worry because he doesn't mind if people know, as long as it doesn't get back to his parents or my grandma that lives near his parents until we've had a chance to see them and tell them first. Can you say happy? That' s me right now. :)
Ok, so two updates in one day. That's gotta be some kind of record. I so deserve a twist cone from McDonalds right now.

I'm so glad he finally explained what was going on ... and now you can really get excited!! Maybe somehow that will help with the "estrogen induced symptons" you've been suffering (along with anyone who gets in your way LOL). I can't wait until you can confirm it's a healthy "greal" you're carrying!

Did you get your ice cream?! Because that news is certainly worth celebrating!
I'm very glad that you were able to talk with Van - and I can totally see his reasoning. It'll be nice to take a little vacation to Arizona, to let his family in on the big surprise.
