I Can't Believe I'm Here!!!

ella26 · October 2015

Hello ladies!!! I am so excited to officially be here! I was so hoping that June would be our month. Our EDD is 2 days before our 10th wedding anniversary ( I know that will probably not be correct but it;s still fun) and the summer solstice

I can't wait to get to know all of you!!

ETA - How do you all keep it in?? I want to tell everyone I see!

Welcome and congrats! I've told the people who I thought would be a good support system in case of a loss but everyone's opinion on who and when to tell is different. Good luck!

Welcome! It's so great to move up to a BMC, isn't it?

How do I keep it in is a great question....As of now, I'm waiting on finishing up my hpts to make sure that hcg keeps growing. Once I'm out of those, it'll be very difficult to keep it in! DH came home yesterday and his first comment was something to the effect of wanting to tell a bunch of his coworkers because he was excited, particularly the person he refers to as his "work mommy". She's been a great mentor to him and has step kids who are only a few years younger than we are hence the name so I gave him permission to tell them next week and I'll probably mention it to my coworkers/boss sometime soon since I work in a lab that uses teratogenic material, aka keep that formaldehyde the heck away from me!

The real test will be this weekend since my in-laws are in town and I'm not sure that I'll be able to keep a straight face. At the same time, they're in town for my BIL's college parents weekend so I don't want overshadow that with our news, so that's what I'll keep telling myself...

Welcome and congrats!

As for keeping it in? This is my second go around, and I have lost all interest in wanting to share the news for some reason... As for baby #1, I couldn't wait to tell. We waited until 9 weeks the first go around.

First of all, welcome from TTGP!

I'm the same as @NicknShan. I've lost much of the urge to share, but also much of the anxiety that came along. Besides my mom and a really close friend, I did, however, cave and tell my boss because she told me some personal things, and I also felt like she needed to know just in case there was an emergency or I couldn't do some things at work to help out. I suggest holding out until you're really ready. Once you tell, you can't take it back, and I remember feeling sad a few times because it seemed too soon.

Yay I'm so happy to see you here! If I remember correctly from the TTGP board we had similar O dates! I just got my positive last night and am going to go to the store after work to get a digital to convince DH. Called my doctor's office today which was so exciting! I've only told a best friend because DH doesn't want to tell anyone in case we lose the baby. He is so nervous about believing it I actually feel bad. I'm going to try and hold off until the first appointment (Nov 6th) but after that it will be so hard. I just want to tell everyone haha

Welcome and congrats! I'm only planning on keeping it in until Halloween, but we've already told select people

Welcome and congrats ! Glad to see others gran TTGP!
I have no clue how to fight that urgent to scream it to the world!

hockeyfan42 · October 2015

Welcome & congrats! Happy to have another TTGPer.

I was super excited to tell my BF since she's already pregnant and we started trying at the same time. But after that, I have no urge to tell.

Congratulations and welcome!

Congrats! We told family at 8 weeks with #1. Lips are zipped til Thanksgiving (11ish) with this one.

VikingGirl12 · October 2015

Welcome!!! We are also trying to make it until the week before thanksgiving!

Lyette1206 · October 2015

For my first, I waited until 12 weeks (which was Christmas, and we surprised people with their presents). This time, I have no desire to keep it a secret. It's a lot harder with a toddler running around, so I could use the help from family. And last time, it was hard to keep the symptoms hidden from people I see every day like coworkers

lm45678 · October 2015

Congrats!!! It is SO much harder to keep this secret than I thought it would be.

My parents, sister & BIL, closest girl friends and close co-workers know. Thinking we will share the news with other friends and family on Thanksgiving and wait to tell the rest of the world around Christmas. Gives us something to look forward to!

DeePaddy24 · October 2015

Congrats!! Such an exciting time!

It's really hard to keep this secret. It's the most exciting thing to happen to us...to not be able to share it is so hard. Especially when we've got friends announcing their pregnancies right now. I just want to say, "yay, us too!" right back. At least we get to gush about our excitement here with each other!

vampbride99 · October 2015

Welcome, and congrats!! I have no idea how I keep it in....I pretty much want to tell anyone who will listen hahaha....So far only my parents and 2 friends of mine know. My in laws are coming into town on Saturday, so we will be telling them then. Basically all those who will know by this weekend are people who I know will support us in the event something happens. We don't plan on telling anyone else until after the first trimester is over.

Congratulations and welcome! I was in a similar situation with DD; her due date was 4 days before our wedding anniversary (and she was born only 2 days before)!

Like PP, I could hardly wait to tell with my last pregnancy, yet for some reason this pregnancy I have lost all the urge to tell. I feel like it would have depressed me to hear that from other people in my last pregnancy ("The magic goes away after the first!"), but to be honest it's kind of nice because I'm way calmer about everything (I also have a lot less anxiety about the pregnancy). It's so fun to be pregnant with your first and be so excited! But it's also fun to be a little more laid back.

What a great anniversary present by the way!
