It's nice to have gone public
I finished telling co-workers and outed myself on facebook. It's so nice to not have to conceal anything and to get all the congrats. It feels so much more real now.

Re: It's nice to have gone public
I was going to out myself after my apt on the 12th but we didnt hear the heartbeat that day so I will make it public information after our apt on the 30th. Most of our family knows and I have put up a countdown on my facebook but they are not as obvious since they changed the layout so nobody has noticed. I can't wait...only a week until everyone can know!!
I was a little annoyed at having been outed by accident, but then we went to an out-of-town wedding this weekend and it was SUCH a relief to have everyone understand why I was so sick and tired!!! And everyone was really nice, too.
I caved early and told people this past week. I ended up telling my manager at work because my appts were already running long and I didn't want him wondering where I was for 2 hours at a time
It's a relief to not have to contain my excitement 
I've not quite outed myself on facebook yet though. My next appt is June 30th but we were able to see the heartbeat flicker at my last appt
That must be a nice feeling! We are still super early... We just found out yesteday (14piui, BFP)... I told my mom and I did tell my boss since she's been so great about my appointments. Also my one friend knows since she's been there for me through my first BFP, which ended in miscarriage. I think we will hold off until we hear the heartbeat this time.
The first time we couldn't resist and told our family a week after we found out. It was so hard to tell them the bad news.
I can't wait until I can 'come out' to my friends like on FB, etc. and to my co-workers. Congrats for you! Enjoy every minute!
wish i could out myself as well but hubby and i promised each other we wun tell anyone until i'm 14 weeks ! i hope i can hold out till then.
my other pregnant friend is already asking me if i'm pregnant as well. she say that she has this intuition thing !
I just feel a bit awkward about telling everyone - like an announcement. In any case, we've decided to wait till 14 weeks to tell anyone outside the immediate family. I was really glad to tell the family though. The moms have been invaluable.
(On a side note, I wish I hadn't told my kid brother - he keeps trying to feed me and then trying my patience by calling me to ask how I feel, or if I have any cravings and if I would like him to go get me anything. It was cute for about 10 seconds.)
