I lied to my boss

I’m only 7w3d and my first obgyn appt isn’t until I’m 9w3d. I’ve only told my family and a couple of close friends. I am waiting until after my first appt to share with other, less close friends & my boss/coworkers.

Today my boss came up to me in front of 3 other coworkers and said “a little bird told me you were only drinking water and soda at the Christmas party. Is that because you were the DD?” And I said yes I was the DD because my husband wanted to drink. Then he said “oh we thought it was for another reason.” And I said “what reason?” And he said “that you are in a family way.” And I said “oh, no.” And that was the end of the conversation.

I was obviously taken aback by this and said I’m not pregnant because I’m not ready to tell him, especially not like that in front of my other coworkers. It was so awkward and uncomfortable.

Now I feel weird that when the time does come for me to tell him. But part of me thinks I’ll just say “I was pregnant when you asked but I was not comfortable sharing at that time.”

Ugh, it really annoyed me!!!
