We have not. My husband asked today when we can. I said maybe next week. I explained to him that he is going to get some pats on the back and congratulations and then his life will go back to normal. Mine won't and I guess I am just not looking forward to being the baby carrier. I kind of like actually being me. But I think within the next two weeks we will have to tell.

MH is being super patient with me not wanting to tell yet. I was trying to figure out why I don't feel ready to tell them. We tried for a year to get pregnant, so it's not like we didn't want this to happen! I think it's very similar to what you said. It's going to be so much more work being pregnant me (we are a very hands off communication style family) than it has been up until now.
We haven't told family yet. We plan to tell both sets of parents next month (October). My dad's birthday is the 15th and my MIL is on the 5th. We are going to give them each a frame with the ultrasound picture and "Coming March 2012". I'm confident they will tell the rest of the family within hours if we don't.
We just started telling people yesterday (finnally told my workplace), so I hope we can keep it a secret until then. Helps that my parents are 4 hours away and his are on the other side of the country.
