It was the day after Valentine’s Day. As I put down the little plastic stick that told me I was not the only soul in the small bathroom, I started to pace, and cry, and pace, and cry. A prayer had been answered. A prayer I had prayed way before I was old enough for it really to be answered: “Lord, please make me a mommy one day.”
Today was the day. And so I paced.
Then it was time to scream it from the Facebook rooftop and every other rooftop that would have me, “I’M HAVING A BABY!!!”
But something held me back. In the back of my mind I remembered “the rules” I had often heard other women talk about concerning announcing pregnancies. When should I announce my pregnancy?
Today I share the rest of my story and the “New Rules for Announcing a Pregnancy” over at Intentional by Grace. I am honored to be a guest writer there today. Please join me.
