When to tell?

Sunday, January 8:

My husband and I are supposed to go out with some friends today, but I have been feeling so sick, and the temperature has been so cold, that I tell them I have to reschedule. I told everyone they could go without me, but they wouldn’t.

When do you tell your friends that you’re expecting? I’ve always heard you wait for three months. I don’t know if that’s because you’re showing by that time, or if there’s a greater chance of miscarriage during the first three months. Whatever. I still feel like a traitor.

Even though I’m sick, when I think about having a little person to hold, I get these little shivers up and down my arms.
