We have gotten less close over that time, since we were in very different places in our lives, but I'm still a little hurt by her not telling me or even including me in a family announcement. So I would definitely tell closer friends/family personally if possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-and-your-so-agree-on-howwhen-to-announce-your-pregnancy#post-833889 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:03:58 +0000 citymouse 833889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think people will be just as excited! We are telling all of our IRL friends in person, and then putting it on FB for our online friends after that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-and-your-so-agree-on-howwhen-to-announce-your-pregnancy#post-833872 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:58:09 +0000 MrsLilybugg 833872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They'll think it's exciting! And def its better hearing in-person than FB :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-and-your-so-agree-on-howwhen-to-announce-your-pregnancy#post-833558 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 15:15:37 +0000 heffalump 833558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: My reaction to the not being exciting thing was that I'm always super excited for second pregnancies (and 3rd, 4th, etc). So why wouldn't other people be? I do worry with my friends though because most haven't started having babies at all. They probably think I'm nuts :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-and-your-so-agree-on-howwhen-to-announce-your-pregnancy#post-833554 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 15:12:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 833554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are still on our first pregnancy, but he pretty much let me take the lead. We were on the same page anyway, but he let me dictate when we would start telling people outside the family and how. </p> <p>Second baby is exciting, but I do wonder if other people aren't as excited for you (like, the general you, not you personally!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-and-your-so-agree-on-howwhen-to-announce-your-pregnancy#post-833540 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 15:09:03 +0000 heffalump 833540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our first pregnancy DH and I both wanted some time to tell our close friends before putting it on facebook. This time when I said I wanted to do that again he said, "can't they just find out from facebook? What if they don't think it's exciting because it's our 2nd." </p> <p>Of course they're going to think it's exciting, it's a baby! And no, close friends don't find big news like this out of facebook. </p>
