That was the best because we could see their faces :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-to-your-long-distance-friends#post-307785 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:56:50 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 307785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I texted all my friends a bump pic with a teddy bear in my arms. They went NUTS! Be prepared to get phone-calls immediately after sending the text:) was very fun:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-to-your-long-distance-friends#post-307779 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:55:09 +0000 JessiBee 307779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made lots of phone calls, even to people I hadn't talked to in a couple of months. It was actually really fun to be excited together (even on the phone) and then to spend some time catching up. I knew many of them I wouldn't be seeing in person any time soon, and I wanted to tell them as directly as possible before they saw it on facebook or heard it from someone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-to-your-long-distance-friends#post-307629 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 09:50:02 +0000 Mrsbells 307629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt announce it to anyone that I didnt see in person, until I was in the last month of my pregnancy and the I sent some of them messages to let them know I had a baby on the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-to-your-long-distance-friends#post-307623 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 09:46:44 +0000 yin 307623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to keep it a secret until I saw them in person. Luckily my close friends don't like too far away. I made the trip to visit each one of them because it was important for me to tell them in person. After I told my close friends I finally made the announcement on my blog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-to-your-long-distance-friends#post-307614 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 09:43:05 +0000 Alivoo01 307614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably text since that's the "normal" means of communication now days, apart from e-mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-to-your-long-distance-friends#post-307570 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 09:27:25 +0000 autumnlove 307570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just email! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-to-your-long-distance-friends#post-307561 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 09:24:29 +0000 mrsjyw 307561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>text with pic, then phone call to the long distance ones that i'm still in weekly contact with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-to-your-long-distance-friends#post-307556 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 09:23:39 +0000 sorrycharlie 307556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure!
