Need Another Opinion- Telling People

So basically, my husband and I have made a decision to wait on telling people at my job... I have only told my boss... but I am super friendly with 1 girl in particular at work and Im DYING to tell her... Am I totally horrible if I tell her and not tell my husband about it? Im SOOO sick of trying to hide it from her... And shes trust worthy so she would never say anything... Part of me feels guilty about keeping it from my hubby...

Did anyone not tell their hubby they shared it with someone?

I mean if I can hold out without showing for another 3 weeks, thats when we plan to tell everyone...

What do you think?

I say totally OK! My DH is dying to tell people and I asked him to wait till I was 12 weeks. Me on the other hand had to tell my closest friend and a close co-worker (he doesn't know).

I just felt there are things I need to talk about with my friends, and God forbid anything happened I would have their support which would be much needed

I would just tell her and not tell your husband. If it's only one person I wouldn't be too concerned about not telling DH that you told her. When I first found I was pregnant, it was my MIL and my mom that were telling everyone before I was 12 weeks. I was really pissed at both of them for telling especially MIL since she posted it on Facebook right after we told her which we told her early I was only like 4 weeks at that point. I think telling your friend will be fine.

I would tell her and tell my husband.

She's more of a friend than a co-worker anyway...
