i have to say it's awesome how outstandingly positive and warm everyone's reaction is to our news. more so than getting married (so many people do that, so many, too, get divorced) it's more like winning the lottery when you tell people. it's like you've won some special prize that is just perfect for the both of you and people are so excited to congratulate you and recognize the perfection of it. it's great.
but i still feel awkward sharing the initial news. once it's out, it's fine, but the ramp up is tricky. but now both my bosses know, some coworkers (but key coworkers that will spread the word like wildfire), and mom's side of the family.
what's also interesting is some people's reaction to my belly. people really do want to pass a glance there, but i guess few people realize/remember that pregnant mommas don't show till usually 6 months, and i'm just about 3. it's almost like they're disappointed not to see anything. then one of adam's friends actually said congrats and pointed to my belly. like buying a new car and complimenting the owner by pointing at it and saying "that's a great looking car". it really wasn't awkward as i describe it here, but just kinda struck me as funny.
so much is funny these days, i'm glad i can see it for that.
