project risk management

when close friends have been pregnant and didn't tell me until after their 1st trimester, it bothered me a little bit.  if we are as good of friends as i think we are, why didn't they tell me?  but now that i've read up on risks during the 1st trimester, i understand now why people don't announce it until they are in the clear.  we haven't even told our parents yet!  i'm so excited - hard to contain myself and not yell it out to the world!  mik and i told his sister the night we found out.  she was very happy of course.  she didn't know we had been planning it so she was a little shocked.  :)  we told my younger sister the day after and she was so happy - she never thought i would get pregnant ever.  she already has 3 and she's 6 years younger than me.  haha

one thing that bothers me is the lying.  i've been lying a lot - more than i've ever had in my life.  lying about why i have to cancel my sushi dinner with a friend... why i have to cancel drinks with a friend for his birthday...  why i'm not drinking during our 5-day trip to martha's vineyard... lying about a vodka drink when it's all water.  lying to people when they ask me if i'm pregnant yet...  i'll pray for forgiveness during mass and hope that other people will forgive me when i tell them later on.  we both can't wait until after the 1st trimester to share the beautiful news with family and friends!
