Haha @lzzfrancisco! I didn’t even think about that! But no, I don’t think they knew at that point, also I don’t think they noticed the puking (except one person who saw/heard me, and I told her then anyway). They all just said “I had a feeling”, and my boss creepily said he’d noticed my bump... why was he looking at my belly? It ain’t even that big yet!

@grebretso, do you have a blump yet? I am 15 w 3 and still trying to fly under the radar, I don't have much of a blump, maybe just thicker through the torso but I wear baggy shirts anyway. I was thinking of waiting til next week when I'm 16 w, but today I started thinking maybe I could hide it a little longer. Now I am second guessing....
@cass06_07 I’ll be 13 weeks tomorrow, and there’s definitely a blump situation going on. To the point where none of my pants fit anymore. I’m very skinny with zero muscle, so I figured I’d show early. That’s usually how it goes when there’s no fat or abs to hide anything expanding in there.

@grebretso Yeah, I don't have a whole lot hiding mine either. Itll probably just pop out like a spring one night and then ah F, Ill have no choice but to fess up
FTM here and all of our friends and family know that our two fur babies are a huge part of our life, so this is how we announced.. we had also gone to the beach the day I found out I was pregnant, so we couldn’t resist doing something with the beach too!
I bought some maternity clothes yesterday and they give you a free goody bag.. it had some diapers and a bottle and some other coupons and stuff in the bag, I'm a FTM... when I got home I decided the pregnancy announcement for social media should be one of those premmie diapers open with some chocolate sauce in it and the text should say, "Shits about to get real" DH was not impressed!! I'm still tempted, you know...
@cass06_07 When we announced to DH's extended family, we gave his aunt who's really close to us a card that said "Shit's about to get real!" on the front. She thought it was hilarious.
@cass06_07 We did something similar with that phrase. We did “shits about to get real” save the dates for our wedding so we announced DS with baby shoes and “shits about to get more real”. I think your idea with the diaper is cute!
Finally pulled the trigger on the social media post. This took approximately 80,000 takes and the promise of a new toy specifically Tigerbot from Rusty Rivets completed wth the #boymom #imsurrounded tags hhah
Our social media annoucent from last week. We told family on our annual river float trip in July. I wasn’t ready to announce to it in July, but for me not to drink at the river for a week it was super obvi.
Everyone wants, happiness.
No one wants, pain.
But you can’t have a rainbow, without a little rain.
I just caught up on this whole thread while having a bout of insomnia right now and I love all the announcements. We were slow even telling family. Told them at 14 weeks. We put my toddler in a "soon to be big brother" shirt which worked for facetiming my SO's parents, and his mom had an awesome reaction, but my mom was a different story. She is tech defective, could not figure out how to make skype work on her phone, and then when I texted her a pic of our son in the shirt, while we were on a regular call with her, was super dense about it and said "I cannot make it all out. It says big brother but what's above it." Ummmm you caught the key part and that doesn't register?! Anyhoooo... I am not on FB but considering an insta post after the anatomy scan. This was my simple one the first time. Shocked long distance friends for sure!
Living in New England I played up the fact that we were expecting a winter baby We’ve been known to have a Valentine’s Day blizzard every now and again
@episcowitch One of my friends posted to Facebook a few days after the baby was born (no pregnancy announcement). Someone commented "Why didn't you share the news that you were pregnant on Facebook?!" and she replied "Because I hate being pregnant and everyone who needed to know knew without Facebook." LOLOL
@hannahbananas11 That’s my stance too. And everyone I cared about already knew before our Facebook announcement anyway! We only announced because H really wanted to.
I guess in hindsight I’m glad I did, because I’m already tired of people I know, but that I’m not FB friends with, finding out one by one and asking the same questions over and over again. When FB announcing you get the “omg what??” reactions all at once.

I am a social media whore and will tell anyone my life story after just meeting them lol but I get that not everyone is like that! Privacy? What’s that? Lol
@grebretso this is how I’m feeling, too! Don’t really want to do an announcement but now that the “mandatory” people have been told, telling people one at a time is stressing me out? Or making me anxious? I don’t know, just making me uncomfy lol. Now I just want to get it all done in one swoop.
Re: Pregnancy Announcements
They better have not known when they let you clean that damn fridge!
I don't know how to post this, but it was our announcement. We skipped pregnancy and went straight for gender.

You all are making me feel cheap for not making some kind of announcement... I should probably get my shit together.
H: "What are we going to do for a social media announcement?!"
Me: "Have a baby in all our pictures starting in Feb."
Hope you’ll get some “whose baby is that?”
