I felt like such a wimp today! For the past two years I have taken a fitness class at work twice a week during lunch. It is a strengthening / toning class so we don’t get too sweaty (although we do have showers, just in case). Since the 4 – 6 week mark my work schedule was just too hectic to make it to class, and then from 7 weeks until now I was either puking, on the verge of puking, or in a meeting during class time … until today. Holy crap did that class kick my butt!
The best part was telling my instructor that I am pregnant. I am 12 weeks now, so I felt comfortable with her telling the class – only 8-10 people and since she has to give me specific instructions at times it made sense. Then I realized telling people is like crack to me!
Only a few people around work knew, but after today I can add a few more to the list. I just love their reactions (thankfully they have all been wonderful). Plus I love the feeling it gives me. Each time I say it, my eyes fill up with tears and I get so darn happy. :)

It is so fun to tell people, isn't it? I work with all women, nearly all of whom are moms. So it's really fun to see their reactions and hear their stories.
Yay for a great day! Congrats!
Oh, and YOU made my eyes fill up with YOUR happiness! I can just feel it on your page! :)
That's funny because I actually DO NOT enjoy telling people. I think I still prefer to think of it as my little secret.
Plus, so far every person I've told has gone all batshit crazy on me with excitement or stories and it's a bit overwhelming. By not telling them I get to have some more quiet time.
Yay for the joy of telling others. I'm really happy for you :)
I'm still struggling to tell people. I also went to my strength training class today at the gym at work, but have yet to tell the instructor. Instead, I just dog it at times and wait for her to call me on it, which she has yet to do.
Yeah for the joy you are receiving. It IS really exciting news.
Because everyone needs a distraction, consider yourself tagged
Making those announcements are scary, but also so rewarding. I'm so happy that you feel comfortable sharing your wonderful news. :)
