DH and MIL called their side and mine, and then on Facebook we said something like "Dave and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our SON, Evan Charles, height/weight/time etc)" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-the-gender-1#post-1155908 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:07:24 +0000 googly-eyes 1155908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just told people. We had an US pic on fb for people far away...it was also the first mention that we were expecting. That was at 19 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-the-gender-1#post-1155904 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:06:43 +0000 lemondrop 1155904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just word of mouth for both, by the time we finished announcing the pregnancy, we were over the announcement stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-the-gender-1#post-1155873 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:59:05 +0000 MrsF 1155873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called our families and I announced it on FB eventually, but not for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-the-gender-1#post-1155869 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:56:45 +0000 swurlygurl 1155869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: Hahaha - cuuuute!

This time around, we will just tell friends and family via phone/in person. How did you announce the gender? </p>
