All of you newly BFP'd girls...how/when are you telling?

I had to tell one of my girlfriends the day I found out bc she knew we were ttc (i slipped and told her when I was a little tipsy in August in OCMD) and then I told my boss (who in turned screamed with excitement and told the remainder of my small dept at work).  I am mailing my dad, my mom, my sister and my two nephews (to tell my other sister) and then I got a frame for DH's parents since we'll see them in person.  I am not giving it to them until the day AFTER Thanksgiving because I don't want people swarming me in their tiny house. I'll lose it lol.  All of our friends will be in town this weekend and we probably won't see the rest of them for awhile so we're telling them all Wednesday.  I bought my friend's mom and dad (everyone will be at their house) a grandma and grandpa card.  I can't wait!

    We told immediate family when we found out at 5 weeks because they would know once I stopped drinking I told extended family and friends at 9 weeks. I only told work at 13 1/2 weeks which is why I had to wait son long to tell all of ?you.

    We told our parents and just a few close friends right after we found out but we waited till after the first u/s at 8 weeks to tell everybody else.  There are still a lot of people who don't know because we're just letting the news trickle out from Facebook but we're ok with that.

    I told my parents right away for a couple reasons.  One because I can't keep it to myself and I need my mom's support and number two because I work for them and it would be hard to cover going in for bloodwork every other day.  I also told my nesties of course and just a few other friends found out.  I plan on telling the rest of the family after my first regular appt which isn't until Dec 29th...I was hoping to get in BEFORE christmas so I could tell the family but I'll have to wait a couple days.

    This morning (having had all of three minutes to share the news and experience the excitement together before I ran off for work), DH and I decided we'd wait until Christmas to tell our families, when they'd all be at our house together for dinner.

    Then we went through the day and realized how crazy that idea was.  We barely lasted 9 hours, how are we going to last a month?

    The tentative plan for now is to tell both families and our best friends when we see them Thursday & Friday.  How we're going to tell them, we're not sure yet.  I'm thinking for DH's family, maybe breaking the news with something along the lines of how I may look a bit different than all the other bridesmaids in his sister's June wedding.

    My family, don't know yet.  We're still trying to process this all ourselves.  Boy do I wish there wasn't a church group coming to my house tonight -- I could really use the one-on-one time with DH to let this settle in!

    So far we have told his sister.  We are going to tell his parents, and that's it.

     My parents and everyone else is going to wait until at least my appointment (Jan. 5) but most likely, no one else will know until the second tri.
