FB announcement to everyone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-announcements-like-in-your-familycircle-of-friends#post-2443226 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 20:14:15 +0000 mrschickpea 2443226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most family/good friends in person or on the phone if long distance! FB is usually done last or not at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-announcements-like-in-your-familycircle-of-friends#post-2443211 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:59:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2443211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Immediate family was phone or FaceTime (not local). Extended family was word of mouth (my parents told people mostly). Friends usually are told in person if you see them or via text or email before a Facebook announcement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-announcements-like-in-your-familycircle-of-friends#post-2443208 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:56:08 +0000 Mrs. D 2443208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Close family is in person or over the phone, but our friends are like me and like the social media announcements. I've seen several cute ones this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-announcements-like-in-your-familycircle-of-friends#post-2443206 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:54:27 +0000 skipra 2443206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Family is in person or by phone. For parents usually in person but siblings by phone and extended family word of mouth (which backfired last time because somehow someone never found out and was kind of upset). Friends in person or text/email/phone. I prefer not to do a FB announcement. I don't need the whole world to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-announcements-like-in-your-familycircle-of-friends#post-2443205 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:53:33 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2443205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told family in person. Friends mostly via text because it was Christmas and we weren't with them but wanted to share.<br /> Instagram picture eventfully of ds in a big brother shirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-announcements-like-in-your-familycircle-of-friends#post-2443196 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:38:05 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2443196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told family in person or over the phone. Friends who have gotten pregnant have told me in person or over the phone too! For acquaintances, I just find out via Facebook announcements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-announcements-like-in-your-familycircle-of-friends#post-2443163 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:03:28 +0000 NavyRN2012 2443163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Word of mouth. We don't live near any family, so over the phone it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-announcements-like-in-your-familycircle-of-friends#post-2443158 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 18:56:59 +0000 autumnlove 2443158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BIL/SIL came over in person to tell us aboit both of their pregnancies.
