Spilling the beans about our bean

Sharing the news with everyone has been awesome so far. We called Art's sister, Kim, first. We knew she'd be able to hold the secret for a day or two while we decided how far the word should spread so soon. We called my parents the next day and told them while they were each on one of the phones. Art called his mom, and the following day told his entire department at work in a single email. I've been slowly leaking the news at work and everyone has been thrilled and incredibly excited. I've yet to drop the bomb on my boss; I think I'll try to wait until after my first midwife appointment before sharing with him that I'm essentially putting in my 9 month's notice.

It's fun to let people in on this secret. Most people are completely surprised, and we typically get "well you didn't waste any time!" as the primary response. And no, we didn't waste any time. We've been together for going on eight years now, living together for two. A honeymoon (or more like Father's Day) baby is freakin' awesome, if you ask me. I just keep hoping for the absolute best right now.
