Hello World! I finally got the a-ok to tell everyone about my pregnancy! I’ve been waiting until I could tell a job I’ve been interviewing for. I decided to let them know upfront to avoid stress later. It is always better to be honest, right? But now that I have told them, I don’t have to be silent on the internet anymore! Hello Facebook! You-hoo Twitter!
It has been so difficult to keep my trap shut about this pregnancy. All I wanted to do was tell everyone I met! I was excited and I wanted everyone else to be excited too! Also, the first trimester is pretty harrowing, so I would have loved to explain my aches and pains and exhaustion away.
I wasn’t great at keeping it a secret. Everyone at work knew pretty early… but when my work is running around on my feet all day, I needed to tell people why I needed to stop and eat or drink or just breathe every once in a while. But, to give me some credit, I did see these people every day. Otherwise I think I did pretty well keeping it a secret. Well – that doesn’t need to be the case anymore.
Dear world. I am pregnant. Sincerely, Laura.
