So as I've mentioned we had planned to keep things on the down low until we were sure the pregnancy was going well and the first trimester was safely behind us. We are definitely looking forward to sharing in this with family, but the timing would ideally be right.
Of course ideals are just that. The smallest little events can be full of surprises.
Now bear with me for a sec. We ran out of coffee the other day. This meant that my wife was forced to rummage through our depressing drawer of forgotten caffeine products. In it, she found some decaf, and she felt pretty lucky when it actually turned out to be our regular brand. She puts it on the counter and that's when the huge gasp comes from mom.
"No! You can't have decaf coffee. It's full of chemicals that will hurt the baby!"
My wife, keeping her cool, says, "Yeah, we'll definitely keep that in mind when we start trying." Smooth, for sure, but I don't know how long the charade can go on for at this point. She's stopped drinking alcohol, she drinks power smoothies at every turn, the house is littered with pregnancy books. I don't think it would take a master detective to figure out what's up. I guess the best we can do at this point is to hang on to a bit of ambiguity. I'll take it for now, but I think that announcement is going to have to happen sooner rather than later if we want to be the ones making it.
