Yes! We told my MIL shortly after I told DH because last time she was really upset that my family got to find out first. I really should have waited because I was so awkward about it and had a hard time acting thrilled. Because I wasn't. I forgot that someone who hasn't had kids in 30+ years might not remember how shocking it can be to find out. I panicked with my first pregnancy and we were desperate to be pregnant. This one was a shit show.
For my fam, I had W in a "#1 Big Sister" shirt on the first day of vaca. After 5 hours of her being tossed around, my SIL side-eyeing her character tshirt, and my mom even saying, "oh, she's wearing a real tshirt".....I finally had to point it out. Andddd then I had to explain it to them. @-) They were excited.
And now I'm excited, and even feeling very happy that we're going to knock our 2 out and be done forever. Or being young enough to change my mind and have #3; by my original plan I was pigeon holing myself into 2 kids.
And vacation was a-mazing. There was no cell or email service down there, and guess what? The world didn't end because I couldn't reply to people. \:D/
Yes, but I don't see a notification on mobile unless I'm on the site when you tag me... then it pops up at the bottom of my screen. When I'm on the computer, it's at the top.
Glad it all went well and you guys had a great time. I love hearing stories of people doing the t-shirt reveal and the kid runs around for hours without a notice
@tinyhumantoe congrats on your new little person. I am so excited for you and your family. Does that mean the ferret get a friend too? and for the love of god please someone tell me his name!

THT, I'm super glad you're excited now. So what is your EDD and all that jazz? Will you be finding out? (Sorry if you already answered this, I was gone for a bit.)
@auroraloo Thanks I'm glad the dooms day feeling didn't last for more than a couple days!
I don't know my EDD, my bold pink line was 7-19, so would that make me March somethingorother? I don't think my doc does a dating ultra unless it's completely medically necessary, so I might be in the dark on this one. I don't really know when my last period was...:| I thought it was 5 weeks ago, but I looked at my calendar and I was on a work trip and I know I wasn't on my period then or the week after. Oops.
ETA: yes, we will be finding out!
@miss50@kellersprag - Ernie asked me to type, "My name ain't Eddie, It's Ernie, Ernest Eugene if you're nasty."
I'm glad you are feeling better about it. I'm excited for you. W will be great. Congrats again. My fam didn't get the shirt method either. Only three people out of everyone I tried it with caught it.
So glad to hear you are feeling better about everything! Not many people got our original announcement either. I just assume when they are expecting it they don't look for any signs.
