So what are everyone's plans for letting family/friends/work/facebook in on the big news??
I see my family at least once a week so there will be no hiding it - I'm planning to tell them at my birthday party this weekend!
My BFF is the only one I planned to tell, and she knew the night I got my BFP.
Work I have no idea, I guess when I can't hide it anymore, but I have a teeny office and it's a long way to the restroom!
Would never like to announce on fb because I usually roll my eyes at those posts, but we'll see!

Re: Announcing!
We each told one person at work just so we'd have someone to confide in that we see every day and so I could have someone to make excuses for me if I'm sick or something . But that's it. We planned on a Christmas reveal for everyone else but that seems a loooooong way off so we'll just maybe play it by ear and see how my appointments go. I still want to do a Christmas-themed Facebook reveal because I think they're adorable.

At work, we have an unspoken rule that pregnancy announcements must come with edible goodies. I'm thinking of getting some red-white-blue cookies and leaving them in the lounge with a little note about a firecracker baby or something.

Right now my boss, the doctor I work with, and my best friend know besides my DH of course.
We are trying to wait until Christmas to tell family because that is the next time we will see them in person, however my dad may find out before then if he can't make it to Christmas this year. I am one of those crazy people that also prefers to be outside the 12-week window and Christmas is in the dead middle of week 12 for me. Our room-mate will be told just before Christmas because he deserves to know before all of our other friends.
FB announcement for friends will probably happen around then too!

@kghusker1003 I'm sorry about your family as well, I can't imagine having actively unsupportive family while pregnant
@AdaByron Totally excited for maternity clothes. I know you pop earlier with the 2nd and I'm going with it. Of course I totally bought new skinny jeans for work 2 weeks ago and even told myself at the time that I would probably get a BFP now that I bought them. I did find some sweet high waisted yoga tights that double as leggings that should last a good while

I'd love to keep things quiet until around Christmas, but everyone in the world knows we're trying since we've had two recent miscarriages. My nausea is usually a giveaway too. I'm still waiting another week or so to tell DH. I'm not convinced yet- I need to see lines get darker and know this is really happening.
Work, sigh, I'm not sure! I want to give my director and colleagues ample time to talk through how my work will be covered. I think it will go over well. I may also be able to stack leave and get more than 3 months, so I'm trying to figure out how to best approach it so that's a possibility.
That work stuff all sounds vague and confusing, but vague and confused about telling work is pretty much how I feel!
We will most likely tell our families sometime within the next few weeks, but I don't want to announce to favebook or work until 2nd tri.
@GlitterFish my mom is constantly telling me how fat I am and how I shouldn't eat. So I know how you feel!

my happy boy
1st grand for them, 3rd for my parents
He only speaks to them maybe once a month.

@Itsnotyourturn I'll have to go check those out
By way of history (TW): We told my parents early last time at 6 weeks (earlier this summer) and my Mom was less than excited on account of our having to cancel our trip to the Caribbean to see them due to zika concerns. She then made an inappropriate comment when we told them about our loss. Something about the timing not being right so it may have been for the best... This time we may tell them when the baby is born but that is probably not very mature.
I think I would love to do an ecard announcement to our family and friends - they live all over - but will hold out for the 12 week mark. Lots of cute stuff on Etsy as well that we may check out.
I won't tell work until I start showing because I practically just took maternity leave and then was working from home for an extended period of time, so... Eeeek!
