Not telling people

DECEMBER 29, 2011
PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED POST 2 of 9

Today I wrote the timing post. I wrote about how it wasn't the time for me to share the news that I so wanted to share-however, it wasn't me that I was talking about, it was for my blog.  It wasn't the time yet to share it here.  We have agreed to only have our family and a small handful of our family friends know. Not sharing my happy news on my blog is killing me...and kind of breaking my heart.  Until we are in the clear with this pregnancy, we aren't sharing the news.

I had always been excited about my little "plan" to surprise everyone once I had cleared my first trimester. I had no idea how hard it would be. Brittany O.: today you wrote on my fb that you were eager to read my blog. This was the week after Christmas. I sooo wanted to tell you!

Writing these unpublished posts, and then releasing them, will hopefully make up for my little trick of surprising everyone in February. I have a feeling it is going to be hard to come up with posts that don't have to do with me being pregnant. In the first trimester, your risk for miscarriage ( I despise even typing that word) is at it's highest. I just couldn't bear having to tell more than my family and a handful of friends if that were to happen.  Hopefully you can understand.

So, if you stuck around, through my non-baby posts, thank you. I tried not to blatantly lie in the Timing post.  Hopefully now that you know, read it again, you'll see the truth shining through it.

One happy and thankful mommy, -Natalie
