Finally I feel like I can officially tell everyone that I'm pregnant! I didn't feel I could do the official "blog" announcement until I told my work. So for those of you who don't know, I am almost 16 weeks pregnant and I am due on Labor Day (Sept. 7th). I am doing very well, I had a few crappy weeks in the beginning but things are now going smoothly. We will find out what we are having on April 2nd; I'm way excited!
I had been hesitant to tell my work because I wasn't sure if they would let me cut down to working one day per week after I have the baby, but so far they have been very good about it. It was strange telling people at work about the news; most people were very happy and excited for me but there were a few of the "professional career women" that seemed surprised that I would ever want to have a family, whatever.
Anyway, I'm ecstatic! I'll try to keep everyone posted on how things are going!!!

I'm glad you finally broke the news to work. You did wait quite a while. I have been waiting for the "official" announcement. Glad your feeling well. You should be feeling the little flutters soon... way exticing!! Stay in touch!
I was wondering when the announcement would make it to the blog. Glad that work has been good about the big news. I totally remember getting the same reaction from the career women when I announced I was pregnant. And they really thought I was crazy since I was 24 . . . at least you're MUCH older than that! :)
I'm so excited about this baby and Avie and Eliza are SO excited to have a Karren cousin. Woo hoo!
Love you guys.
Jessica, we are very excited for you! I know how you feel about wanting to wait to announce anything - especially to those not in your immediate family. Congrats!

Congrats! I had NO idea. So glad you're over the sick part - yucky! How fun to have a little one on the way. And I'm with Amy, being a mom is the best - albeit harder that the 9-5 job.

Shannan

So I know I'm commenting a little late - sorry. Haven't been on the blogger for a while. But I just wanted to follow up our conversation about work by saying: "screw being a career woman! work downright sucks!" at least 90% of the time anyway! ha, ha.
I'm still excited for you and also to find out what your baby will be! And especially for you to not have to work full-time much longer! ;) take care -
Congrats to you both!
