Hi Mary! I know the waiting is hard and bc pills must definitely feel like a backwards move but just think about it that you are priming your body to carry the most precious thing in the world!
I am glad you decided to tell your family, it will help to be able to get it out in the open and not have to bottle up all the emotions!
You have some things to keep you busy at least. Good luck on the job hunting. Do you have any specific plans for Spain? Be sure to take lots of pictures!! Maybe ask your doctor for a small dose of a sedative if you think it might help you enjoy your trip a little more.
