First prenatal appointment this morning. I guess I'm nervous, because a) I woke up thirsty at 3am and laid there until about 6:30, a half an hour before the alarm went off, when I went back to sleep long enough to have 3 short nightmares.

We're also leaving for Memphis today to visit J's family and officially break the news to his parents. That at least should be fun. I prepared a necklace for his mom that says "Grandma" (or the equivalent of it in J-family-speak; it's a long story, rather idiosyncratic, and I don't want it to be googleable). We haven't given them their Xmas presents yet, so we'll just slip it into the pile....
