Last appointment with Dr. Buyalos today. HR was 144 bpm. Cashew measured perfect today- 9w 6d.

So I decided it was time to share my pregnancy news with my boss. I sit in the California office, and she is in the Maryland office. We usually meet (by phone) once every two weeks. However, there is no privacy so I decided to email her--

Hi, Lora,

I know we don't have another meeting scheduled for a while, and I wanted to touch base with you. (It is a little weird for me to share this through email, but I don’t want others around to hear a conversation). First off, I needed to let you know that I am pregnant. This was a much unanticipated surprise for my husband and I. As I previously shared with you, we had gone through several cycles of IVF to conceive Sadie. I am currently 10 weeks along and am due 01/03/2013. I saw my specialist this morning, and everything was looking right on track. I will have a few appointments coming up, and I am open to either coming in earlier or taking PTO. For these appointments, please let me know if you'd like me to come in earlier (at 7am) or take PTO, as I am flexible and hope to minimize any impact on business.

Thanks in advance,Jessica
