We are announcing on my husbands birthday - July 14. My daughters second birthday happens to be the next day so I may try to tie the two together - we will see.
Also announcing on July 14th but mostly because that's the day of our 1st ultrasound (providing everything looks good anyway).
We told our boys the night I peed on a stick. And the rest of our friends and family that week. After we told the people we are close to in person we put it on fb.
Probably sometime between 10 and 13 weeks. I'm pretty picky about who I'm friends with on Facebook, so it's mostly people I care about who I would tell if I saw them in person. Right now I feel like random people know because they've seen me and can either tell because of my gigantic boobs (they used to be really small) or because of how sick I've been. I actually like telling people on Facebook because it's easier and I don't feel like I have to make a big fuss over it again and again. I'm already sick of the conversation with people who want to talk at length about everything pregnancy related once they find out.
@winebaby122 agreed about Facebook being easier for big announcements...for instance when we got engaged, before we announced it on facebook it was a big deal telling each person we ran into and doing the social song and dance of talking about it when you know most people don't really care, lol. Once it's on Fbook, only the people who actually care will bring it up in conversation, everybody else will skirt over it
We will announce on FB after the anatomy scan- we told immediate family right away, and will tell close friends/extended family after 12 weeks. I figure anyone I don't regularly communicate with can wait. Also, this is our 3rd, so I assume people are more like "oh, another one" and not, "oh she's having a BABY!"
Not announcing on FB. We have told our close family/friends and are beginning to tell co-workers. In person. People who genuinely care about our lives, LOL. I'm not saying I'm going to vehemently prevent it from arising in conversation; that's exhausting -- but I don't feel the desire to do any sort of massive announcement.
We live on the other side of the country from both our families, so I was planning on mailing our parents and grandparents a sonogram picture with a cute little card. Now we are planning on visiting home around 18 weeks so we may just wait to tell anybody until then. Neither of our parents know, only my sister and a few friends that live near us just to have someone to talk to. As far as telling on Facebook, we will probably make some small announcement after all the important people know. Neither of us are big on social media, but there's just too much family that would want to know to call every one of them.
Re: Are you announcing on social media? If so, when?
