I'm awful at announcing my pregnancy. I'm at a different building at work for the weekend and no one here knows yet. I'm 17 weeks and obviously showing.
How do you guys drop the pregnancy news in casual conversation? "What's new?" "Oh, just the tiny human I'm growing."

squeakyduck, IDK, I would probably only say something if it comes up or people ask.
I am off this weekend and we don't have any specific plans yet other than unpacking and laundry to repack tomorrow. I leave tomorrow for my last work trip and will be going monday to monday. I'm kinda dreading it.

I announced to my boss and colleagues but let the other people figure it out by themselves.
It happened around 25 weeks.
They probably thought I was chubbing it up before.
Seriously, wear a thight dress once a d it will be over.

're: announcing -
I only told a few necessary people at work. Now the cerclage is in and test results are back, I intend to casually mention it and let gossip spread. If someone in a different group figures it out, fine. But I am not making a big announcement.

I "announced" at work at 30 weeks when someone finally asked lol.

I'm terrible at this too. I still haven't told all of our friends just because sometimes it doesn't just casually come up. I'll just show up with a kid in 5 months!

I've left the announcing to DH this go around for the most part. Hes a little less awkward than me.
I'm beyond excited that we're going to the lake today to for a picnic and paddle board. My mom is in town and I'm thinking it'll take her a whole 5 minutes at the beach before she brings up that I shouldn't paddle in my "condition".
Your day sounds great! I love paddle boarding. Enjoy!

That sounds fun, @kemye13! I also announced at work to the people I actually talk to daily at about 13 weeks. 4 weeks later and there are still people gradually finding out. Oh well. Guess they just think I'm getting fat. Only in my belly.
Post by anonymouseliza on Jun 13, 2015 9:46:40 GMT -5
Oh yeah, the second + time expansion is no joke. I look like I did at 20 weeks with DD. But because I'm fat and started a new job, people are only now questioning a bit. Dropped by the old job and someone asked me outright at 9 w because if the bump.

I'm pissed that I not only didn't fall asleep until 11 last night, but I woke up at 6:30 am. I couldn't sleep and my stomach was growling. I ate maybe 5 bites of cereal and don't want anymore, but certainly can't fall back asleep now. I better nap later.....preferably DURING my prenatal massage!

DD keeps asking to watch the dinosaur movie because she sees signs for Jurassic World. She doesn't know that there will be lots of blood and screaming and a ton of other things that are completely inappropriate for a 3 year old. So now I'm in Dinosaur Train hell.

i work for a super small company, like by telling the owner, my super and HR, I told a third of the company. So I just made an announcement during our weekly staff meetings when we announce future time off. I said starting Thanksgiving I'll be out for a few months.

I walked to the farmers market and had a crepe for breakfast. It had bacon, tomato, mushroom and mozzerella with a pesto aioli. And it did not come with a side of heartburn. #winning.
Now deciding which project to work on for the nursery. Stripping the dresser or sanding the rocker.... Nesting is real, y'all.

I told one of my favorite drivers the other day I was pregnant. Between my broken Portuguese and his broken English I was able to understand how excited he was for us. He was trying to convince me to have the baby here so he would be Angolan. He likes to call my husband the big boss man which just cracks me up. The whole conversation just made my day!
I also told my maid and she was over the moon happy. They start having children very young here so I'm pretty sure she thought I was weird for not having kids yet. We are the same age and she just had her 5th child.
I don't work, so telling these people involved in my everyday life makes me happy!

I dont know if she's too young for it, but LEGO just released their video game off of the movie. I've played their other games and its super PG and really cute. There is usually no talking or reading. Also you can't die. So kids dont get super frustrated.

I'm jealous of all of you that have pets that enjoy being around you. I could probably have a snoogle stuffed with tuna and my bitch of a cat would still not lay on the bed with me.
She only comes around when she is in the mood for a little cuddle and once she has had her fix, it's back into her hiding places.
