How to break the news to my boss?!?

Lisa

I’ll be 12 weeks at the beginning of March and I’m wondering how to tell my boss. She is not going to be happy and I’m a little worried she will flip out (not at me but just about it). She relies so heavily on me as her assistant and can’t survive without me even when I have two days off! She is going away for a month in the middle of March and I don’t know if I should tell her before she goes, tell her via phone while she’s on leave or wait until she is back in April. I don’t even know how to break it to her. Please help with some advice, she is the only person I’m really nervous about telling.
