What a weekend!

It was a long weekend of travelling and time with family. But it was very nice to have an opportunity to see everyone and celebrate my grandma's life. She lived a long, full life, and I know she's very happy to be in heaven with my grandpa.

We took the opportunity to tell my parents. We wanted to wait until after our first OB appointment (and ultrasound), but it seemed like a good opportunity to celebrate the gain of new life after the loss of another.

My parents took the news very well -- very happy to be getting their 6th grandchild! My brothers are excited -- Jeff especially kept following me around with food, to keep his niece/nephew full of necessary nutrients. They promised to keep it a secret for a few weeks, until we tell Chris's family, but that didn't last long.... the aunts/uncles/cousins/etc that were in town for the funeral all found out and are very happy, too. Our baby will be the 14th Roberts great-grandchild.

On my end, I'm happy to be home in my own bed. Travelling while pregnant adds extra discomfort and double the bathroom stops!
