help with idea for 'coming out' to coworkers

kdussault

I want to tell everyone as a group or as close to it as possible, rather than have the news float around the office. we don't have a staff meeting next week and that's when I hoped to tell them. I know there are some very creative ladies here... help me come up with something good!

The people I work with are spread all over the building and only get together in September each year so I sent an email out letting everyone know that I was expecting and when I was due.

I write an internal newsletter for my office. I also work with my MIL, so in the last newsletter, I put a note that said "Congrats to [MIL] who is expecting twin grandbabies in early October." I put a copy in everyone's mailbox and the news spread like wildfire. It made my MIL's year and saved me the awkwardness of going around the office and telling everyone in person.

I'm not very creative... my closest coworkers (my lab-mates) all knew we were doing IF treatments.  I told my closest friend/cw when I first got my BFP.  I told my boss with my positive beta.  I told my male cw's after my first ultrasound. 

If you're going to tell them at a meeting, could you bring in food like cupcakes with pink and blue frosting?  Everyone loves treats and would be a cute way to announce it!  Hopefully someone else has better ideas because that's all I've got.

I'm not very creative either, I plan on letting it slip to the known gossipers and letting it take over from there. 

Baking?  Everyone loves baking!

for dd I made cup cakes and put pink and blue sprinkles on them.  I was coming out to my 12 employees so i gathered them up (like i normally do for an informal quick meeting) and told them and my DH brought out the cupcakes (we work together)   They were all shocked and thought i was gunna tell them some bad work news with the way  i was acting!  hehe

I am not in charge of anyone in my newer position so I dont know what I will do. I dont think I will make a big deal of it.  Just let it get around eventually and get people wondering about my belly.  Or maybe i will make cupcakes again cus now I want some!
