XP: Telling Work Today UPDATED

I'm telling work today. There's no more hiding my bump through my clothes. I finally found my boss he was sneaky and came in through the back entrance so I didn't see him and he said we can talk this afternoon. So, now, it is just a waiting game. I'll update after we talk. Any good vibes you have are appreciated! It's a small company so I'm not sure how often they've dealt with maternity issues.
UPDATE
He came and got me early to talk. He congratulated us and said that it is exciting news. I stressed that I love my job and that I am going to try and make this as easy on both the company and myself as possible. He told me that if there is anything they can do to help me to let him know. Which is great. However, he didn't really give me a feel as to what my longterm possibility here is. I told him I was going to talk to HR and he said that HR and the CEO decide my fate.
I am friends with the guy in HR but the CEO lives overseas and really doesn't have a lot of personal interaction with the US team. In fact, I've only met him once.
Not sure what the future holds for me, but I feel a little better now that they know.

Good luck to you! I'm actually in the same boat with respect to the small company thing. I already told my bosses, but we still need to sit down and discuss maternity leave. I'm taking 12 weeks regardless (unless they want to offer me more!), so hopefully they will still be willing to keep me employed
BTW, I am from PA and have many family members who are Penn State alums, so I enjoy your screen name.
Glad you told your boss - it is a relief to get it out.
