Co worker and I telling work today....
We have a meeting at 3:30 to tell our director and manager that we are both pregnant and will both be out this fall (we work in education) on maternity leave. 
I'm so nervous! My one boss can be inappropriate and told my coworker "It would be really nice to know what this meeting was about beforehand so we don't get a bomb dropped on us". Whoops....
Hopefully they'll understand once we tell them. I feel bad but given the situation I really don't see a better way to handle it.
Wish me (us!) luck!

Re: Co worker and I telling work today....
what do we do then? Pull straws on who goes first? We have very similar jobs and knowing our situation here to have one person go in and say "I'm pregnant" and the next day the other one going in saying "I'm pregnant too". Especially because we know--it wouldn't go over well.
If we told them separately and they knew we knew, they'd be ******.
ETA-I understand totally why that seems more appropriate but it's like a no brainer that we need to do this together because the conversation needs to involve all of us.

It went REALLY well!!! They are so excited! We were so concerned they would be stressed and they weren't at all.
My one boss is already trying to figure out how to make a website with a baby pool and they made us tell the entire office right away because they knew they couldn't wait until a staff meeting on Tuesday!
It honestly was like telling my parents again, they were so excited.
The other women in the office were like "um...what water supply are you two drinking, so we can avoid it". It was very funny and a HUGE weight off our back!
They are not even worried about the fall. Their attitude is "we'll make it work". They are teasing us that our babies are BOGO.
Thanks so much everyone for the positive wishes!
