I should have updated this a long time, ago, but I've been in secret agent mode now for about four weeks. We have accomplished our mission. I'm pregnant.
Of course we are super excited, but we're also trying to keep calm until we can spread the news. We both want to wait until the first trimester is over before we tell anyone, just in case. A lot of people say that the more people you tell, the more support you have if you miscarry, but I do not want to have to tell a lot of people sad news. I have been on the other end, when new mothers tell everyone, and then have to share the sad news with people they do not know very well. It can be awkward and honestly, it's no one's business. Ok, phewf. There's my rant on that.
Now, this doesn't mean I haven't kept it entirely to myself. Although Warren has and I have no idea how he can contain himself. I have told my good friend, Bethany (she new when I was taking "the test"), Jackie, Karen (newly pregnant herself and we work together so I need her help to prepare for all of the work responsibilities), Joe my personal trainer, and Vicky my dietician. These people are people I either work with, or help me with eating and working out. I am saving the news for my close group of girlfriends and immediate family until January 30th, 2013 and I am counting down the days. Each day feels like an eternity.
We just finished the holidays and that was quite challenging. For each party and get-together, I had to pretend I was drinking. Or pretend I just came from a party and had drinks there. Or I was so stuffed, I can't have another coffee. On Christmas Eve, however, my mother-in-law had a few glasses of wine and flat-out asked us if we were pregnant (I had recently made a comment about going to bed early again). So, Warren was creative and made the situation a bit more awkward by telling everyone that no we aren't, but we are actively trying. Great. I don't know how the conversation changed eventually but I was dying at that moment.
So, now we just have NYE to get through, which I think will be fine since we currently do not have any plans. I'd rather just relax. I've been doing a lot of that lately. This baby is already the boss of me. Who knew?
