We are expecting.

No we are not, but colleague of mine has his wife ultrasound picture as his computer wallpaper and its sort of cute. Its their first baby.

When did you announce your first baby. Was it right after the home test (if you did one) or after the first doctor checkup or did you wait for more?

Another friend of ours waited till the baby was born to tell their parents back home :smack: now that was quite an extreme.

Re: We are expecting.

Our parents and siblings knew the same day we did (around 4-5 weeks).

I told a couple close friends at about 6 weeks (the first time I threw up).

I told my boss at work so he could prep at around 8-9 weeks.

I wanted to wait until 12 weeks to tell everyone else. But around 6-7 weeks we had a family gathering. Ammi asked if she could tell my mamoons, mumanis, and cousins. I said no. She turned around and told everyone right then and there (and to make it worse she used the whole "goodnews" phrase!). ARGH I was so angry. She still does not understand why I was so upset.

Most other people knew around 12-14 weeks.

Re: We are expecting.

^didn't they go mad at him? I bet they did.

Re: We are expecting.

:hehe: I am sure your mom wanted to be the one to break the news, especially to her side of the family.

you mean the guy who waited till the baby was born? I am sure the parents must be mad at him. if my child did that, I would be furious. Not because of he/she not sharing the good news on time but the fact that anything could go wrong during those nine months and if parents know, they could take care of things, fly down to him or something like that

Re: We are expecting.

For all 3 pregnancies, our parents and siblings knew around the same time we found out.

For everyone else, we waited till after the 12 week mark. I remember, for the third, i even told the mod team on GS :@:

Re: We are expecting.

Oh I forgot to ask, did you guys find out the gender in advance and if you did, did you announce that to your family too

Re: We are expecting.

Why did she even bother asking me for permission? :mad:

Re: We are expecting.

yes and yes

my jet and jethani also knew the gender but told everyone that the doctor couldn’t tell from the position. i knew they knew. :hoonh:

Re: We are expecting.

I don't think I would want to tell anybody at all until the baby was born!

Re: We are expecting.

My mom did the exaccct same thing, she told me not to tell anyone about the gender and herself told every single person she talked to…the whole world knew in a matter of days, and when I complained she said I’m being weird for getting mad over such a petty issue…righttttt mom!! lol

As for breaking the news, I told my parents and his parents the same time we found out…and everyone else by the time I was 7-8 weeks…

For 2nd time though, I wont be sharing the gender with anyone…or so I hope…

Re: We are expecting.

We told our parents the same day we found out. I told my sister the next day Waited until around 10 weeks to tell everyone else (friends, close family). Told my boss around 10 weeks and then co-workers around 12.

We decided not to find out - though Its driving me crazy cause I'm so curious

Re: We are expecting.

Man you guys have awesome moms, I like them. They seem more easy going than you folks :hehe:

and how did you find out, home test or doctor checkup?

Re: We are expecting.

TLK, why all these questions? :hmmm:

Re: We are expecting.
