Re: :: Post Your Pregnancy Announcements Here! ::
<p align="center"
So far I have just told my parents and my brother. I just called them up on the phone and told them. They all kind of already knew we were going through IUI's- so I just told them it worked.
I will tell other family and good friends after I have my viability u/s in a couple weeks.
Everyone else I will just post something on facebook.
I don't really need to do a big fancy announcement via pinterest

My sister and BFF I told immediately via text, before my pee stick even dried. We told my parents and in-laws the first weekend after we found out And my grandparents today!
Who did you tell? How did you do it?
We really didn't have much time to be creative with parents/in-laws. We didn't pre-plan a way to do it beforehand, so we just ended up blurting it out at dinner. My grandparents we bought these mugs after we found out...

.. got a great grandpa one, too. And brought them to brunch today wrapped up and gave them (and told them it wasn't quote 45%, haha). They are coffee cup collectors, so it was perfect for them.
Any funny or interesting reactions?
My grandma teared up And my grandfathers reaction was SUPER funny, and way more funny if you knew him. He's a very quiet, polite man.. I'm pretty certain I've never heard a bad word come out of his mouth. And if I swear in front of him, he seriously gives me an evil eye, calls my name (including middle) and tells me to watch my mouth (yes, I'm sure he would do this no matter how old I am). And he opened his mug and said "Holy shit!! You're shitting me!" .. I got that on camera for him to savor forever, and he's no longer allowed to yell at me for my words. Then he said "I mean... you're kidding me! Oh forget it. Holy shit!" hahah.. probably funnier if you knew him, but it was an awesome reaction. H and I have been married almost 10 years, and they stopped asking us YEARS ago if we were going to have a kid. No one knew we were TTC, so I think they were pretty shocked. And so happy!
Who did you tell? How did you do it?
Who did you tell? How did you do it? I told immediate family and close friends. We didn't do anything cute. Mostly everyone found out through a phone call because we live in a different state.
Any funny or interesting reactions? My mom literally went silent for the first time in her life. She's been waiting for me to give her a grandbaby for so long and it's finally happening. My sister squealed.

Any funny or interesting reactions? Exactly how we thought my mom cried and Hubbys mom screamed! It was really fun they are so excited!

Am I reading right that your MiL is jealous you're pregnant and feels excluded because she can't have more kids?

5w2d - Mother's Day!
Who did you tell? How did you do it?
We only told my DH's parents/grandparents.
We told them by painting a 6pc puzzle and wrote the poem "sitting in a tree, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a...."
Any funny or interesting reactions?
Everyone got it, except his grandfather who, apparently never knew the poem, thought we were announcing our divorce. Lol! But the mothers all loved it and will frame the puzzles.

Who did you tell? How did you do it? We told DH's mom and my mom and dad through Mother's Day gifts. We gave MIL a coffee mug that said grandma, along with a quote. We gave my mom this plaque.
Any funny or interesting reactions? My dad and MIL said they already knew. My mom had no idea why I had given her the plaque, so she kept reading it over again. When she finally realized, she ran around the living room screaming!
We were in the beginning of planning our wedding for next May when we found out, and once we decided to move it up to this summer, everyone began guessing without us saying a word.
I was about 5 weeks!
Who did you tell? How did you do it?
I told my SIL because we both had a deal to let each other know first and she held up her end (she's due in September) so I just told her I was holding up my end of the deal and she immediately knew what I was talking about! This is our 2nd baby so to tell everyone else, I made a photo book of our son's first year, and the last page says "Chapter 2, Big Bro, Begins January 2015!" I can't wait to see their reactions! Although definitely going to have to tell them soon because I think I will show much earlier this time around lol
Any funny or interesting reactions?
My husband has three siblings, all had or are having babies this year, so my SIL right away was like "this year?!" And obviously it's Jan, but she's holding out hope that the baby arrives 5 days early so there are 4 cousins born in the same year!
How far along are you?
6 weeks today!
Who did you tell? How did you do it?
I told my husband, my best friend Trish, my Mom, and my co-teacher at my job. I told my husband through text after I peed on the stick and saw the + sign. He was surprised because I've been saying I felt like I was for a week before taking the test. He was also very excited because September of last year we lost our son.
My Bestfriend I sent her a video on SnapChat. She was on a plane to Jamaica and I wanted to surprise her. She was a huge support when we lost our son, and she was so happy to know we are baking another little monster!
I didn't want to tell anyone at work yet, but I felt like I've been slacking off at work because I haven't been feeling well, so I told my co-teacher. She was surprised and asked if she could hug me. HAHA!
My mom I told because I needed some motherly support after my lose. And I called her about 6 times and she called me back in a panic because she thought something was wrong. But she was pleasantly relieved when I gave her the news. And she told me exactly what I needed to hear, "just take this pregnancy one day at a time, and don't worry so much that I stress myself out, my lose wasn't my fault and we will pray to god that another lose doesn't occur."
Any funny or interesting reactions?
My bestfriend cried "happy tears". My co-teacher asked to hug me! And my mom prayed. My husband told me that he's already feeling sympathy symptoms because he is tired and nauseous. He's so funny and sweet... he also asked me if I want pickles and ice cream.
Then he got a little teary and hugged me and told me he loved me.
we called my parents on their cells one at a time on speaker and told them. My mom was so excited last time (we lost the baby) that I wanted her to be able to celebrate while we have good news!
How far along ? I am currently 7 weeks and a few days
Who did u tell? How? Reaction?
I told my girlfriends immediately - then my hubby over the phone because he was working. Told my mom and grandmother after my u/s last week. They were excited. My grandmother said, oh my , that means you were having sex lol. Yes grandma we have been married 7 years. She then says I just didn't think my grandson was that kind of guy lol. She said the same thing after we were preggers with our 6 year old
I'm about 5 1/2 weeks. EDD 1/15/15
Who did you tell? How did you do it?
So far, just have told DH and daycare. We went out to see Wicked on Mother's Day (date night!), and the next morning I POAS because I knew I was about 4 days late & had a hunch. I came out of the bathroom & just blurted it out. He was half asleep, but knew something was up because I had been in the bathroom talking to myself & he could hear me.
That Friday, our daycare provider asked when we were gonna start trying for #2, & I couldn't lie to her, so I told her we were looking at having 2 in daycare by March. She & I both started crying - but it was so good to tell someone! (we're waiting to tell parents until after the first doctor's appt.)
Any funny or interesting reactions?
Nothing yet, hopefully we'll have some fun stories after we tell the family.

How far along were you? 4 weeks 2 days
Who did you tell? How did you do it? I told my husband when I found out on the 9th by making him a cookie cake (he's a bakery manager) that said Thanks For Knocking Me Up and I gave him a onsie that says Daddy's Future Caddy.
Then on Mother's day we told our parents/grandparents by giving them cards that said Happy Mother's Day Grandma/Great Grandma!
Any funny or interesting reactions? My DH was shocked! He just kept saying You're sh****** me! We were going thru tests for other health issues at the time and when I found out I was pregnant it was a complete shock!
My parents/grandparents didn't get it.....my mom already knew somehow - said she had a feeling. My stepmom thought I gave her the wrong card. My great grandma thought I was just calling her a great grandma...like awesome! hahaha. Once they realized they freaked out!
I put DS2 (15m) in DS1's (3y) "Big Brother" shirt, but knowing that DH would be oblivious to what DS2 was wearing, I just handed him the BFP test as soon as H walked in from work and said "go give this to Daddy". He handed it to him and H's jaw dropped. We were not trying at all (and got pregnant from 1 time without a condom and pull out?!?!?!).

Found out 4weeks 1 day, (2days ago)
How did you tell?
I decide to leave the magical stick in the bathroom. Took DH 5 hours to see it (4 trips to the bathroom after work). He though because the control line was lighter than the pregnant line it was a bad test and decided I'm not. Took an other (digital) before bed and let him see that in the morning with the big word that couldn't be misinterpreted at all.
