Telling Family

[racegurl87]

We told my mom and MIL. My mom we told when she came over to watch DD so we could go to dinner with friends. I wrapped a test in tissue paper and put it in a gift bag saying it was a "thank you" for watching her. She definitely teared up. MIL we told when she FaceTimed yesterday to see DD.

I probably won't make the Facebook announcement until after my half marathon on Mother's Day.
I'd like to get a tank printed with something like: "running my first half" over the chest and "me too" over my 16w bump.

I waited like 3 whole hours to tell my H (so it was in person and not via phone like last time) and it was really hard. I also told my sister and mom on the same day and my dad like a week later (because he kept telling me to take Advil/meds for my cold and I was finally just like, "Can't do that!" We waited until we saw the ILs in person a few weeks later.
TL;DR: Don't tell me your secrets. I will blab.

C&P from cougarette's intro:
We're gonna buy this book: www.amazon.com/Berenstain-Bears-Baby-Makes-Five/dp/0679889604
The. I'm gonna take a picture of my boys "reading" it. Print and frame the pic and give it to our parents (and maybe then give just the prints to siblings and grandparents).
Not c&p:
We have not decided on when to tell though. With our first we told (just close family) as soon as we got our BFP and at 10w for the rest of the world. With our second we waited for confirmation from the dr. to tell close family and I think 12w to tell everyone else. I think this time we're planning on waiting longer - until the first ultrasound. But if I stay super sick again, we may be unable to hide it.

I am stealing the book idea!!!!

I am going to try to get Husband on board to tell Parents/ILs now. We live so close and I can't keep a secret/lie to save my life. Everyone else can wait until after ultrasound.

I dont think we'll announce on social media until we know the sex. That way we can just make one big announcement. We told our families and close friends this past weekend. Will fill in and tell clos(er) friends in person if/when we see them probably after 12 weeks or so.
