the few hours that were supposed to be just mine were really only a few minutes. now i want to tell everybody. i went grocery shopping right after i found out and almost told a lady standing next to me perusing the cheese. then i almost told the woman with the expensive stroller who smiled at me because i smiled at her baby. i really almost told the pharmacist who was going over prenatal vitamins with me (don't worry, i started them a month ago in anticipation), and then i almost told my friend wendy on the phone but thank goodness the signal faded. of course then i almost spilled it to our doorman who'd told me i should ideally have kids two years apart, which they will happen to be. when will rups get home from work??? argh! all our chicago family members are coming over today because it is rups' dad's birthday. if rups is cool with it and over the surprise himself, i'm going to announce it then and then we'll all call my parents in florida.
and then i don't get to tell anyone for three months. seriously, i think that's the hardest part of the first trimester. harder than the midday exhaustion, the random cravings and aversions, the lack of wine, specialty cheeses, and coffee (well, that's a close one). i want to tell everyone (because clearly everyone would be as thrilled as me) :) because it's the one piece of news that makes everyone smile.
