It's a Family Affair - for now...

Well, all of our immediate family members know the news now. We've told all of the parents and siblings. And everyone has been wonderfully supportive and very excited. I feel so lucky. The support we have is amazing - I can't even imagine people who don't have family to share their lives with. What would we do without all of our immediate family? What a blessing...

I know C. is still tentative about telling people ~ slowly but surely seems to be the best way for us I guess. For now, only family knows (and some of my IF girls, who are like family). And maybe in another week or so we'll tell some select friends. Superstition is a crazy thing - and C. is the king of superstition! It's time to start working on trying to get over that concept and get used to the idea that this belly of mine isn't going to be able to hide these three little guys for too much longer ~ telling people is inevitable. But I'm scared to tell. First, I don't want to make a big stink about this - over the years, I've gone from an attention loving monger to one that would rather disappear in the background. Although this is the biggest news of my life and the most exciting time, I would be fine if nobody made a big deal about it. Secondly, I still have a part of me that thinks that if I tell, something bad will happen. Silly, but true. Working on that.

I think I'll tell a few friends and let the news spread on it's own. It won't take long I don't suppose - there is quite a grapevine, a rapidly moving one at that. Afterall, people must be wondering at this point why we haven't had kids yet. Thank goodness there are not many who have had the gall to ask the question to our face. I know we'll get great support from our friends ~ we have some wonderful friends, that is for sure.

Maybe next week we'll get some more guts. Until then, we'll continue to enjoy the secret a little longer.
