Had to do it.

5.31.19

Had to tell someone. So I told one of my co-worker friends whom I trust. I know, I didn’t tell any family yet, but it’s too early. Right? It doesn’t feel right to tell family yet, plus this is news that needs to be delivered in person.

We cried, like ugly cried, together this morning. Telling her was a good decision, she gets me and also why I can’t tell other people.

She hugged me, and reassured me. She congratulated me.

Here’s the thing, having someone congratulate you is so weird. When I hung up with my doctors office on Wednesday, the receptionist congratulated me, and I barely even noticed. My friend congratulated me today, and I started crying. Cue the pregnancy emotions… who am I kidding? I’m just always emotional.

Today, telling someone and having her congratulate me, it felt real. Like for real, for real.

THIS. IS. REAL.
