March 2011 Moms

Who's on facebook?

and did you announce your pregnancy on there?  I'm going back and forth about whether I should or shouldn't announce.  We've already told all of our family and close friends. Several people at work know too, but not everyone. This would mostly announce to coworkers and people from high school who I don't talk to much anyway. 

If you did announce, how did you do it?

Re: Who's on facebook?

  • I want to, but I just can't bring myself to do it.  It feels weird for some reason.  I think I might wait until I know then gender and then announce that.

  • I just put sonagram pic up and tagged my husband and myself in it... nothing special!  Most everyone knows anyway!

  • I think I did it at like 9 weeks or something, but most people already knew.  I simply made an announcement :)

  • We haven't told yet. Our anniversary is Sunday and we plan to announce it then. Most of our friends know but not all or all of our family.
    Baby, you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales...

    Same here. Half the people already knew either from us or word of mouth, so it was just the few remaining that hadn't heard.

  • Maybe I'm the odd woman out, but what is the huge stigma with FB?

  • I just did it on FB yesterday, but don't have any current co-workers on there.  I'm trying to figure out the right way to tell my job....since I've only been there 2 months.

  • I did cause we live overseas and our families are spread all over the place.  Facebook is was a great way to get the word out to everyone we couldn't reach by phone.  

    I announced on my birthday which marked 12wks by saying " had a fabulous bday with the best present being that all her family and friends now know she's 12wks pregnant!  Due March 7th"

    Loved the response! 

  • We did it last night.  I wrote "Steve and I are happy to announce that we'll have a new addition to the family in March 2011. Yep, I'm 12 weeks pregnant!"

  • I'm planing on announcing it on my page friday after i get back from my 12 week appt and hear the heart beat. Im still trying to come up with a clever way of doing it though im not sure what im gonna say
  • i dont go on FB very often at all...i really dont have the motivation. mostly it's just people from HS anyway who im not really close with any more. my family and friends all know. DH's friends are a different story. he on FB all the time with his 100's of friends and i dont know that he is ready to announce yet. my mom is chomping at the bit and wants to post it on FB immediately and shout to the world that she is going to be a grandma. we have an u/s on the 17th and i think after that i will post that grandparents poem that someone posted a month or two ago on her page with an u/s pic. she would get a huge kick out of that. then i will post something to my page as well.

  • We announced after telling the important people and once I was 3 months!!

    I said the following:

    "?2 NYC Subway Passes, $16.00. 1 Bottle of water at Battery Park, $3.00. Statue of Liberty Foam Crown, $3.00. Knowing that there's actually THREE people in my profile pic, Priceless!!!!"

     It was subtle ... and quite a few people didn't even clue in!!!

  • We haven't announced it yet, and a lot of my friends still don't know.  Facebook is my means of communication with many of my friends, because I have moved to another country,and don't get to talk to or see them very often.  I would like to do something creative.  If we get a u/s picture this next visit we may share by posting it... otherwise, we might wait.  Part of me kinda wants to wait till March and just say: "Hey I had a baby yesterday!"  or something lol.  but we'll see.

  • We did.

    I wrote: "[name] is craving pickles and ice cream *wink wink nudge nudge*"

    DH wrote: "I guess I need to go get [name] pickles and ice cream!"

  • i have not, and do not plan to officially announce on fb.  i don't tend to put a lot of personal information on it.  besides that, no one really knows yet, and they won't till 19-20 weeks.
