Or, if you haven't told anyone, when do you plan on telling?
Hmmm, DH knows of course LOL, and my online friends (one of whom happens to be a church friend, but she's the only one at church who knows), and my SIL because she was over the other day and goodness knows she tells us maybe 5 minutes after her BFPs, and my sister who is my bestest friend in the world. Oh, and another friend I saw yesterday but only b/c the subject came up.
That's it. :giggle2: We were going to wait until we saw the heartbeat, but b/c so many people are finding out (me and my BIG mouth!) we are telling our families on Mother's Day. :loveit:

We told MIL and my mom and gram and my sister! I made a shirt that said future Big brother on the front and jan 2009 on the bak. My MIL ordered a shirt for DS and we will put that on him when we tell the rest of the family.

I am not telling alot of people b/c of last Sept m/c. I have told my parents, both were having bad days and thought telling them we were having another baby would cheer them up. It did :)
I have told a good friend and my dh told the husband of good friend. My chiropractor knows b/c I couldn't keep it a secret and she will be working on me through out this pregnancy. Other than that, no one. I am waiting till we are past 12 weeks. I would like to spill the secret this weekend when I see my family, but I won't.
Dang, it's so hard to keep a secret :giggle:

We went ahead and told all the immediate family to get it out of the way.... :giggle: and everyone here on DS knows!
My big mouth has pretty much told everyone I've run into as well..... :giggle:

We haven't told anyone... I'm not sure when we'll share the news. I'm a little anxious about it b/c DH's cousin and his wife have been trying for over a year to get pregnant. i think our news will be upsetting to them b/c they didn't want us to lap them... I'm also concerned about whether or not this one will stick since I had a miscarriage in Frebruary. We'll likely tell close family (Moms, Dads, Sisters and Brothers) in a month and wait till past three months for the rest of the family and our friends. Who knows though... It may slip to a few people before then... :giggle:

My DH keeps blabbing so we have to tell everyone on Mother's Day. We were supposed to wait three months, but he told his sister, his dad and his boss. I decided to e-mail his mom so I wouldn't hear about how I didn't tell her and I'll tell my parents on Mother's Day.

I told my DH, all of you and my sis. I also told my SIL, only because I will not be watching her kids because of this. And I was going to tell my parents and my MIL and FIL in a cute way like with flowers delivered, but my SIL told them without asking if we were telling anyone else. So Then my MIL texts me and says congrats and asks if I am. I looked at my DH who just found out the day before and he says it wasn't him. My parent are all happy for us. And I went to my husbands store and the bread lady said congrats! My DH is telling like everyone now. I hope it sticks now that everyone knows. But the bread lady was really nice and told me her story of having twins ,and loosing one.but the other hung on and was in nicu and came home with all sorts of cords. Scary. I have never had complications with the babes, only me. And each time I pray to have a healthy bean.

I sent out a card today to my MIL. It said,
"Dear Nana, Happy Mother's Day! I love you already. XOXO, #14."
This will be grandchild #14 on my IL's side, #4 on my side. So, for my own mother, we bought her 4 gifts, and I am going to tell her that there is one from each grandchild. Hopefully she'll catch on. :)

We found out a day before going on vacation to DH's parents place and his MIL bday was 3 days later so we got her a "A Grandchild is on the way!" card instead of a birthday card. So my in-laws know and they are over the moon, as it's grandchild #1! They are the only ones we have told (although they seem to have told every person in Texas about it already :lostit: )
I plan on calling my parents on Mother's Day. They live in japan so it's not like i can talk to them all the time, Mother's Day seems like a good "excuse" to call down there!
As for friends and coworkers...i am holding out until i cannot hide the pregnancy any longer. I am quite a reserved person, i don't need to talk to people IRL about my pregnancy 24/7 (even if it's my first :)) i am quite satisfied keeping my obsession for it online! :giggle2:

Would it bother you if Your SIL told your MIL and you were waiting to tell her. She has blabbed to alot of people. This is our last. And I had planned on sending the grandparents flowers with a card congratulating them. URG. I am pissed and so is my hubby. SHe should have asked. I only told her because I was getting sick in my car when she passed by at my daugher soccor practice. Also we told her because ,now that I am prego I am not going to babysit her kids after this month. She's going off track as a teacher and this gives her 3 months to find another babysitter. Anyways. Am I out of bounds to be mad? Don't people generally ask if you are spreading the news or if they are not to say anything? Sorry just venting. But She is telling everyone...

SS mama!! :hugs: I do believe she should have asked you before spreading the word. It's called (not so) common courtesy

Thanks... I guess I needed to be reassured that my hormones are not making me crabby. She didn't even say congrats. She said ohh, when she found out.
Glad to have my DS mommas to talk to.

Besides all you and my DH? One friend who randomly emailed me over the weekend to let me know she's moving ..she's had 5 and a great source of info...even though we don't live close. I WANT I WANT I WANT to tell our parents. But they also live far away. So I'm on the hunt to find shirts for my girls, I'm the oldest, I'm the middle and take a picture then email it out. I'm torn, if I do m/c this one, I'll need the support of friends and family, and at the same time I'm so excited I want to share!!! So here I am. THANKS!! Probably next week we'll tell immediate family...then if I can keep my mouth shut, may be just maybe we'll wait till June or so to truly spill the beans. YIKES....I can't tell you how excited I am...I want to shout it!

Everyone! :giggle: I was just so excited and couldn't wait. DH was actually the one who wanted to hold off incase it doesn't stick, but if that is the case, I want all the support I can get. Plus, we're in the process of buying a house and moving right now, and we're repainting all of it, but I'm not going to be able to help out with that anymore so I thought it would be pretty obvious why I wasn't helping if Kurtis was going over to paint all by himself.
