Definately read “The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy”. It’s hilarious. It’s seriously the only book I read when I was pregnant. I figured it was gonna happen however it was gonna happen, so I focused more on books for what happens once the screaming-spitting-sleeping-sucking little angel arrives…

Hi Elin- I’m glad it was a good book for you and I’ll have to check out the one you recommended. Erin – thanks for sharing your experience about letting the office know, it’s always helpful to hear what’s worked for us. And congrats, btw!

I loved this book. I can recommend another one too that I couldn’t live without…The Miracle of Me. It’s written from the unborn baby’s perspective about how the baby grows and develops. Great child-friendly tool for explaining fetal development for families. Uses in-utero photography and rulers/scales so you can the baby’s progress. I got it to read to my daughter but have a soft spot in my heart for it myslf. A must have.

Just as long as I’m the first person you tell, I’m fine with that. You can tell your job whenever you’d like

I think you must base your decision on your personal feelings and “atmosphere” of your own office as to the timing of your disclosure of your great news (when it happens). This sounds like a great book. I’ll be there for you every minute and always available to listen to you and support you. What a special time in your and the CPA’s life – enjoy this preparation time as you await this wonderful blessing to come.

Ooooh I ought to get that book!

I told work pretty soon after we found out. For one thing, it’s our first baby and I was just so excited I couldn’t keep my mouth shut for long. Also, I had a number of doctor’s appointments scheduled (for labwork and first prenatal visits) and I figured it would be best to just be up-front about it. I work in a very small office (4 people) so I was starting to get the questions about if everything was all right, was I having health problems, was I sick, so it was easiest just to tell them right away. I also felt less guilty also calling in sick the mornings when I just wasn’t feeling like coming in, because everyone understood what I was going through.

And now I have an office full of love and support for my baby, everyone making sure I don’t get overworked and clamoring to see those ultrasound photos! It’s nice and I’m glad I didn’t keep my mouth shut.
