There is so much perspective on TE! So thoughtful.

If your doctor said there is no hurry- I might be inclined to wait to tell everyone. Just till after your ride. Somehow, in everyone's efforts to help you, dealing with others emotions may become overwhelming for you. Dealing with the queries and suggestions from family- one realizes that it is all well intentioned that it comes from a place of love and caring. But it can be a burden on top of dealing with the personal decisions that you will need to make.

Is there a chance of the kids slipping up? That might make things awkward.

As many others have said - I am sure that you will make the decision that is right for you and your family.
