Deciding When to Tell

We have an interesting conundrum.  Originally, Jared and I wanted to share our baby news at Thanksgiving, since we see both families that day.  But, then we thought that there were too many similarities to last time.  I would be sharing the news at 10 weeks, like last time, and THEN having the heartbeat appointment at 11 weeks, like last time, and then having the ultrasound at 12 weeks, like last time.  I don't want to feel that déjà vu.  So, we looked at later times, which would have me sharing the news with family and facebook at about 14 weeks.

But, the more I think about that, the less I like it, and the more I feel we should go ahead and share at Thanksgiving.  Just because it happened one way last time, doesn't mean the same thing will happen this time.  All the doctors I've seen assure me that my miscarriage was a "lightning strike", a fluke, and that it won't happen again.  I've been told by one doctor that they've "never seen such a perfect uterus and ovaries."  Maybe this is me going out in faith.  Maybe it's me going out in foolish hope.  But I am willing to trust....so, Thanksgiving it is!

Three days until we tell coworkers, 4 weeks until we tell small group, 5.5 weeks until we tell family and Facebook.  Love you, Peanut!
