I am a NYC teacher and my fiancee is a Police Officer. Yes we are an all american couple. lol. We recently became engaged, so this pregnancy is quite a surprise. We have not decided if we will move up the ceremony or just wait until the baby is born. We'll see, both is fine with me. I have decided not to say anything to my family and friends until I am at least 3 months. I just want to make sure I am safely in my 2nd trimester. Hopefully I can make it that far. I want to scream out "I am having a baby with the love of my life!!!" at the top of my lungs. lol
