For everyone else, we sent then an email from the baby, saying how much it was looking forward to cuddles when it was done hanging out in tummy town, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-people-you-were-pregnant#post-221850 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 13:53:32 +0000 autumnlove 221850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just by phone and text...we told our closest friends and family the day after our BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-people-you-were-pregnant#post-221844 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 13:07:24 +0000 leelee 221844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For DH I gave him a fathers day card. For my inlaws DH just asked SIL what her due date was infront of the whole family. After she responded, DH said "oh ok so then our kids are gonna be 6 months apart". Everyone looked at me "You're pregnant!?"</p> <p>Next time I want to put a "big sister" shirt on DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-people-you-were-pregnant#post-221843 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 13:05:48 +0000 MamaMoose 221843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did phone calls. We felt that the baby news was special enough in and of itself. And we live too far from our families to tell them in person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-people-you-were-pregnant#post-221835 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 12:56:44 +0000 lomom 221835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm seriously jumping the gun here but I read a cute story about it and wanted to hear how the bees told their families and friends!</p> <p>The person I really want to make it special for is my stepgrandma. She and my grandpa were married for nearly 20 years so she's been in my life for as long as I can remember. My grandpa passed before DH and I got married and ever since, it's been really hard on her and she's so terrified she's going to be out of the loop.</p> <p>When I was a little girl, I was OBSESSED with Wizard of Oz. She watched that movie with me at least 100,000 times. I was thinking of wrapping up baby red ruby slippers and giving them to her. </p> <p>If you did something where you gave someone shoes or a bib, or some other piece of baby gear, what did they do with it afterward? Did they unwrap it and then give it back to you? I love the idea of the red ruby slippers but I'm not sure what she'd do with them after unwrapping them. And what if we had a boy? lol </p>
