The Announcement

I don't like being the center of attention.  In fact, I hate it.  I like to fly under the radar and just do my thing.  My motto is "leave me alone."  You know what happens when you get knocked up?  You cannot escape attention.  It's quite literally my nightmare.

Testing...Testing....

Congratulations, you're pregnant.  Now here's 3,000 brochures about all of the different diseases/abnormalities/issues that can come up with your tiny helpless fetus.  You must now decide what you want to be tested for.  Ready...go!

Shit can stop getting real now

So when you find out that you're pregnant you immediately start to think about the next steps.  1) I have to tell my husband...he'll probably want to know, right?  2) I need to schedule an appointment with the doctor.  3) I assume it's reasonable to wait until I'm clearly showing to tell everyone else around me.  4) Oh shit this is really happening.
