Start Spreadin' The News...

When Adam and I learned we were pregnant, we decided to wait to share the news with friends and family until we got through the first trimester--or until we just couldn't hold it in any longer--whichever came first. My mom and dad live in San Francisco and I really wanted to tell them about their first grandchild in person, which was another key factor in our decision to wait. It was a very hard secret to keep due to general excitement, a psychic mother-in-law, and observant friends, but we managed to do a pretty good job. Keeping the news to ourselves was fun, but sharing it with others has been a lot more fun! Talking about the baby that is growing inside of me is making the whole experience seem a little more real. (The nausea helps too. That seems to be a near-constant reminder of how real it is!)
