Announcing on Facebook

Once we have our first sonogram next week (at almost 10 weeks), we'll announce to the extended family.  Our immediate family knows already.  About a week later (as long as family doesn't spill the beans), we'll announce on Facebook.  I bought a "I'm the big brother" pin for Bugsy, our dog.  I thought I'd take a picture of him with the button and put a caption that says, "Bugsy would like to announce his only child status expires November 2013."

Is this dumb?  Has anyone else thought about how you'll announce on Facebook?  I usually wouldn't worry about an official announcement, but we are going to a wedding in our hometown the first weekend in May and I would prefer people find out before then so it's not a new big news being sprung on them on someone else's special day.

    Its not official until its FB official ;)...and it helps the news travel quicker.

    I am dreading people finding out...they are going to think we are insane.

    Aw, I think that is a cute way to announce! 

    We actually ended up outing ourselves tonight. I wasn't going to do it, and it is probably way too early, but I saw someone I knew announce and they were due in November, so I kind of just went fo

    I think we are going to wait until the 1st trimester is over to make it facebook official...but we've told our parents and siblings...

    My idea for FB is to put something about all the "titles" hubby and I have shared over the years....girlfriend/

    Super cute idea!! I love the older brother pin! I also think it is kind of you to not want to steal the spotlight on someone else's special day.

    We are going to take a picture of me Infront of an 'expectant mother' parking sign and put that up on Facebook. Or at least that's the plan, otherwise we might just use the Big Brother shirt we have for our son and put a picture of him up saying he will b

    I think that is so cute!  I won't be announcing on Facebook at all, but I might steal your idea for announcing to our extended family and friends.  Our pup is sadly giving up her only child status in November as well. :)

    I made a sign that I got our yellow lab to hold that says "I'm going to be a big brother" Once I have my 1st OB appointment in a week we'll announce it on FB with that picture. I'll be a little over 10 weeks at that point.

    I might announce when we find out the gender. My good friend Is struggling with IF and I'd rather not make a big fuss about it.

    I think it's a great idea. I always enjoy cute FB baby annoucements.

    We will not be announcing on FB. I have several friends that are dealing with IF and after our struggles I just don't feel like "announcing" it. It's just our personal choice. T
