Pregnant after a Loss

Still so nervous about telling the news

(Sorry for those who already heard my story), but for those who don't know- we lost our 10 day on baby girl sept 1, 2014 and I'm now 14 wks pregnant and terrified to tell anyone. Not even because I think something will be wrong; I think it's mostly because I'm nervous to see the unbridled happiness in their faces when I'm still broken inside. I know I don't have to tell until I'm ready, but it's starting to get awkward with my bump coming in and people still don't know. I don't think it would be easy at 15 wks or even at 35 wks 
if it were up to me I'd wait til the baby was 5wks old before telling anyone, but it's not possible.
So my question is: how do I do this? How do I bring this news to a world that doesn't get all my mixed feelings? I feel the need to protect myself from that which is why I still haven't told. I thought about just not telling ever and letting people ask as it comes up, but then it could come up at a time I'm not ready and don't want to talk about it- so I think it's better if I have a plan of action to tell (and probably fast....)
