Does the whole world know?

No, they don't. At least the part of the world with my family in it.

We initially wanted to keep things quiet until at least the first ultrasound. Well, that didn't last long. We felt we had to tell Vince's brother and sister-in-law because of a pending issue with me possibly working for them next year. Since a baby really impacts those plans, we wanted to give them a heads up. Well, Vince decided he didn't want his brother knowing before his parents, so we ended up telling them only 3 days after our BFP, before even our first doctor's appointment. Then Vince told a few people at his work, then we had to tell his other brother and his wife (because we didn't want someone else to spill the beans and them hear it that way instead of from us directly), and then at our BBQ this past weekend, by the end of the afternoon, pretty much everyone knew.

I haven't even told my family yet. My own mother doesn't even know that she is going to be a grandma, yet the dude who owns the season tickets next to us at the Rage hockey games knows we are expecting! I'm so glad it is only another week until we will see them in person and then we can tell them too. I just didn't want to give such big news over the phone.

So many people knowing so early makes me incredibly nervous. I really hope this baby is sticky - I can't even imagine having to figure out a way to have so many people hear potentially bad news.

Fingers crossed!
