That awkward moment when...

JCM285

So I had lunch with my BF today since I haven't seen her in a while. She knows about my past two pregnancies and subsequent m/cs but DH and I made a pact not to tell anyone (parents included) until 10 weeks or so. We will wait a bit longer than that to tell coworkers. I have a while to go since I'm supposedly only starting my 6th week and haven't even gotten to hear the h/b yet. Anyway, my last m/c was at the end of Feb and she knew it was hard on me (and she is an awesome friend) so today she asked how I was feeling, was I going to see a specialist, etc. I'm pretty sure that I've never lied to her before but I did today. I kept my responses short, thinking less is more. The funny thing is that she also said that its nice DH and I are going away this week so we can relax and enjoy time without worrying about a baby...which is true and false at the same time. Awkward!! Expecting several more awkward moments over the upcoming weeks.

Those first weeks before sharing the news are awkward. It feels almost deceitful, but it's ok. Share when you're ready.
