creative excuses

So, I've done some internet searching and figured out that I'm 6 weeks pregnant today! That means it has ear buds and a beating heart! Amazing to think it can do that and be the size of a pea. I have no negative side effects other than being more hungry and more sleepy. The hard part so far is figuring out a plan - Matt and I are doing a lot of talking and slowly getting over the shock of our lives (possibly...still a chance of miscarriage) changing dramatically forever. The second hardest part is coming up with excuses for why I don't want to drink alcohol or coffee anymore. So far, I've said that I have to work early or exercise early in the morning...or that I drank so much in London that I need to 'dry out' before drinking again (my bowling team bought that one!). I've walked around with a drink and faked sipping it...but eventually gave it to someone who had an empty glass. I've also said that Matt thinks I drink too much so I'm trying to abstain for awhile. Jack, Matt's cousin, said I shouldn't listen to Matt!
