Telling your boss you're pregnant?

I told my boss very early on - even earlier than a lot of my friends.  I was feeling so tired and sick, I wanted him to know what was going on and not think I was just slacking off if he saw me with my head on my desk for a few minutes.  He's be

I told my vice principal the day before I turned 12 weeks. He was really happy and excited even gave me a hug! He has 2 kids of his own so he's very understanding.
