A few weekends ago we had my baby shower for baby A. I have to start off by saying a huge thank you to my mom and mother-in-law for coordinating and co-hosting. They did a fantastic job!

5 Ways to Hide Your Pregnant Before You’re Ready to Share the News
Not everyone is comfortable sharing the news they're pregnant right after they get that positive test result. It's fairly common to wait 12-15 weeks before sharing the news with friends and family. I know that was the case with Justin and I. But it's not like the world just stops and waits for you to get to that point where you finally feel comfortable to share the news with everyone.
