How do you keep a secret....

We kept the pregnancy a secret for as long as we thought wise, the customary 12 weeks, I am desperatly trying to hide it from work (my boss knows) for as long as possible, I am really hoping I can make it to Christmas, it is not that I am not totally happy about the pregnancy, but I do not want my work persona to be violently shifted from competent professional to pregnant lady. That and I enjoy keeping secrets and avoiding horrific labour stories for as long as possible.

It all starts so small...

A few months ago we discovered that I was pregnant, we have always wanted a family. In fact we talked about the optimal timing of when to start  as we ate dinner together the night after we were married (not that we had not talked about it before). But nothing happens as you plan and though we tried for about a year nothing happened so we decided that to take a break. That a break was the bes choice, and then, unexpectedly, suprisingly all of our careful planning was put aside and here we are.... delightfully happy.
