No megaphone needed.

I thought once we got far enough along to announce our pregnancy that I would be ready to shout it from the rooftops. Over the past couple weeks I have come to realize that I feel the complete opposite. We told my parents when I was around 5 weeks, and I told my best friend, who knew of our struggles, in January. So, since they know, there is no one that I am itching to tell. Recently we have had friends announce their pregnancies, all who are weeks behind me, and we still sit silent with our news.

We decided that if all goes well at our NT scan (tomorrow!) we will tell my husband's family on Sunday, and then begin to tell other family & friends. Instead of getting that excited feeling when I think about sharing news we have waited two years for, I get extremely nervous. I can only seem to think about all the ignorant comments & questions we may receive. "Well, what took you guys so long?" "Why did you wait so long to tell us, were you not excited?" "Was it planned?" "It's about time."

My husband thinks we should be honest with them, and without going into specific details, let them know it wasn't easy. You know, to make them feel stupid if they make such comments. (Which, by the way, is something I am a big fan of doing, but not usually something my husband would suggest.) I don't want to hide our infertility. I am not ashamed of it, but I currently just don't think it is anyone's business. I hope that as I am farther along, I will drop my guard and share more.

Or, I could always just go with my original idea of putting our baby in this onesie the first time my in-laws babysit.

I am totally buying this. You can find it here.
