week 14 - telling the friends

have already told a few close friends about us having a baby ... and everyone was really happy to hear the good news. m heard about it when he FINALLY came online one day out of the blue (at some crazy US time "because he couldn't sleep). qy heard about it when i was deliberating the "two cakes" issue, and so did v who sort of guessed it when i kept saying that the timing of something good coming my way at work was just not so ideal. z heard about it over dinner ... and just kept asking me to eat more because i was too skinny. didn't get a chance to tell sr over a rushed dinner with him one evening, but i smsed him afterwards and he was all excited too (something about seeing if his skills at checking out the gender of the baby were any good should i visit the UK in march). so including js, that's 6 friends who know. there are a few more friends that i'd like to share the good news with soon, but if there's no opportunity, it'll just have to wait.
also, i think i'll wait until the 3 feb doc's appointment before telling the colleagues at work. hopefully i'll be able to hide the big belly until then. i guess if anyone were brave enough to ask between tomorrow and next week, i wouldn't deny it.
