Then we texted/called our families and close friends. I announced on FB a few days later. We plan to do the same this time...on May 7th! :)</p> <p>ETA: I was wrong, we told my FIL and some family by text but we told my mom, sister, grandmother, and MIL by making cupcakes with blue frosting in the middle :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-the-sex-of-your-baby#post-1547639 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 05:13:14 +0000 jhd 1547639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought our moms to the scan. MIL texted her side of fam from the room &amp; told without me even realizing! We called &amp; texted my fam throughout the rest of that day. I announced at work the next day and Facebook that evening or the following day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-the-sex-of-your-baby#post-1547532 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 23:55:55 +0000 Honeygold89 1547532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right after the scan we went and brought little gift boxes with blue plastic shoes and mints that said its a boy for my mom, dad, MIL, and SIL and gave them each one to open , then I texted all my family in a group text and then put it on fb for everybody else I was 20 or 21 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-the-sex-of-your-baby#post-1542289 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 10:47:08 +0000 Dandelion 1542289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We told family right away and made a fb post about a day later.
