So I'm an old nestie (in disguise)... and I'm pregnant! I apologize for the disguise, but due to family and friends that are on FB and the Nest, I can't talk openly about my pregnancy until we're ready to announce it. I haven't even told my mother yet. It's KILLING me! What did most of you do with family and friends? I'm not exactly a spring chicken and I wanted to wait until I was out of my first trimester before shouting it from the rooftops. :P
Anyway, I'm about 7 weeks pregnant and due around the first week of November. I have my first OB appt this week.
PS. I'm so happy for you, Cocojack!
Re: Allow myself to introduce...myself
Okay, so the suspense is killing me as to who this is! LMAO.
We have only told inlaws, BIL, SIL, that is it... well, besides my nestie besties! My parents don't even know! I want to wait until at least Friday that we get 3 betas under us. A few people do know about the IVF, and are anxiously awaiting the results... I left it vague as to when we find out, but they are beginning to itch!
I think we'll begin announcing over the weekend. But then again, it depends on the betas!
Congrats on your pg!

Congratulations! I hope I know you!
We didn't tell the family (even parents) for 14 weeks. It was hard at first and I kept telling DH, because I had to tell someone! It was - "Hey, guess what!? I have a secret! I'm PREGNANT!" - and other variations. By 14 weeks it had become our little secret and it was a little bittersweet spilling the beans. That sounds stupid, I know, but it was one thing we shared with no one else and that was kind of cool. Anyway, congrats again and best wishes for a happy and healthy 9 months!
Are you a new nestie or an older one? Can you tell us what year you were married?
This is a trend for you, Jackie! LOLOL!!!!
Welcome and Congrats!

Congrats!! With my first, I told my mom at 8 weeks, my dad two days later, my siblings a week later, and DH's family just after that. Then no one else until 13 weeks. Then I told everyone.
With my second, I told my mom at 6 weeks, my family a week later, and DH's family soon after. I told most friends soon after that, and I told work at around 13 weeks again.
Btw, it sounds like my mom and dad weren't together, but I just happened to be at a family wedding with my mom at the 8 wk mark the first time around (and no other immediate family members were there and I thought my mom would guess). The second time we thought my mom was about to die, and I wanted her to know before she went.

Welcome! The first time we waited until 10 weeks to tell family (it was Xmas-time). We told friends and others at 12 weeks.
This time we told family and friends when we saw the hb at 7 weeks and waited until the end of the first tri to go public.
congratulations! exciting!
ohhhhh...i wanna know who you are! yeah, give us a hint! when were you married?
i told my family and best friends right away. i personally didnt see the point in holding it in...i figured if something went wrong, i would need their support anyway. i didnt tell work or others until after my first trimester.
Congrats!
I was going to try and wait before telling people, but DH couldn't hold it in. We basically told everyone soon after BFP and the positive blood test. Then, of course, it spilled on FB. So, we just went with it and now most people find out through other people. It works out because this way I don't really have to keep announcing it.
Thank you for the warm welcome! All of you that asked if you know me, the answer is yes!
Some of you I've personally met, others I have not, but
we've been "friends" for years! lol!
I've been married for over 5 years.
I've decided to tell my mom on Friday. I want to have confirmation from my doctor first (at appt thursday) that everything is on the up and up.
Hmmm....I think I know who you are.
Congratulations! I'm very happy for you.
Congratulations! I don't even have a guess... I can't seem to think of any old nesties and knotties.... my brain is not working.
I had a big mouth and told everyone. We got our bfp shortly before New Year's and were having a party at our house. Everyone was going to be way too suspicious of me not drinking (since I fought to have the party there so I could just stumble upstairs and not drive). Next time around I'd really like to wait until the second trimester, but I know it will be super hard.
