The Big News

Not mine... Yours!... Or anyones I guess. Sorry if I got you excited, but really, you should know that's not in my immediate future right now. But I do have a question about it. I've heard you shouldn't tell people until you're about 12 weeks pregnant. Is that because you could miscarry? Is that pretty common? I feel like once I found out I'd like to tell people right away! Well, I'll guess I'll keep it a secret a little while because I imagine that's a special time between husband and wife to ponder about the exciting and life-changing news. But if you couldn't tell I'm not a private person... Not at all, and I imagine I'll want to spill the beans ASAP. How do you bite your tongue?

I think it'll be hard for me not to share my entire experience here on my blog. It has become like a baby... eeer, pre-baby journal to me, so why stop once I see the plus sign? I guess it could be a sort of lull for a few months but I think it'll be hard for me to keep it a secret!! I'll want to be like "so today I took a home pregnancy test and I'M PREGNANT!" ya know? And whatever happens happens, I'll document every experience, good or bad. Hmmm, I don't know. I'll probably change my mind as time goes on but this is what I'm thinking now.

I'm thinking I won't want to tell people I work with for a few months, so the ones that read my blog will have to keep their mouths shut! I'd probably tell family soon after, but I wouldn't want them to get too too excited in case things change. But I think I'd tell you all right away! It'll be too hard for me not to blog about it every second. I'll want to tell all of my friends cause I mean, you're only pregnant for 9 months so why only get the shrieks and giggles for 6 months? But then again it seems like that's almsot like breaking an unspoken rule. Hmmm, I dunno.

When did you tell everyone? Your spouse? Friends? Family? Employer? Blog readers? I'm curious!
