This morning, I was feeling really nervous and anxious about telling my boss the news, so I decided to just take a deep breath and do it (I wasn't originally planning to tell him until next week). It went surprisingly well. My boss and I have had 'issues' lately where I feel like I have been treated very unfairly over the last year or so, so I was feeling very strongly that I should tell him my news before my annual appraisal meeting, which is supposed to be any day now.
Well, as soon as I told him, his face lit up and he congratulated me. I am so relieved! He said we'll figure out over the next few months how to distribute my workload. He also said he'll leave telling everyone else up to me whenever I feel it is appropriate. I said I would tell everyone over the next week or 2. We have our annual general meeting next Friday (June 1st), so I am thinking that would be a good opportunity since everyone will be together, so I won't have to tell everyone separately. And, that will officially be my first day of the 2nd trimester, so good timing. I'm a little nervous telling everyone before we've heard the heartbeat, but really, I'm sure everything is fine. If it wasn't, I'd have symptoms by now. I'm taking my growing belly as a good sign!
One week left in the first trimester - hard to believe it's been 8 weeks since we found out. How we've kept it a secret this long is beyond me. At playgroup yesterday (with my church mommy friends), one of them said to me "so, you think you'll have more kids?" and I responded with the vague "yes, someday" kind of answer. I can't wait to share the news at the next playdate in a couple weeks (we have them every other Wednesday morning).
