We were going to wait for a while to tell anyone but decided to tell families for Father's day.
Both sides live long distance, husband's family all live in England and mine are spread around the states. Tried to call and skype DH's parents but no answer (they are retired but are even more active than when they worked!). Tried my parents but they are out in the country at my grandparents' lake with no phone reception. Tried my sister and no answer.
We did manage to tell DH's sister at least. But, so much for our great idea :P
