I was on the fence about telling V. However, one look at the gym and she flat out asked me – I just told her because I had no idea how to steer that conversation in a different direction, but I’m so happy I told her. Because now, I have someone I can confide in,
I told everyone at work (since we do surgery I would be at risk) and everyone was super supportive and excited for me. Which is exactly the reaction I truly needed. My favorite was Dr. M’s.
You see, this was my set up in the break room:

When Dr got there, I heard her go, “oh my god. Where is she?” As she ran down the hallway and asked me if I had a bun in the oven. I don’t think we’ve ever hugged as much.
It meant the world to me to have that support system this early. I know I’ll be in good hands.
I already contacted my insurance and set up my first visit with my OB. I cannot believe it, I’m beyond excited.
I’m so grateful that with all of this, I have a loving husband as a supporter. It’s all I can ask for.
