She asked me the due date and I had to look it up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-did-you-announce-to-first#post-1969782 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:19:21 +0000 littlebug 1969782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were on vacation, staying at one of my best friend's houses. So after I told Hubs, I told her and her husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-did-you-announce-to-first#post-1969778 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:12:03 +0000 Coffee-lover 1969778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told my husband, then one of my close co workers the next day.

But only because the lines were still so faint that he would have said the tests were negative (I showed them to him later, once I had a good one, and yep, he claimed there was no line). Told HB right after DH! We're waiting to tell family this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-did-you-announce-to-first#post-1963904 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 15:45:01 +0000 snowjewelz 1963904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family and my best friend </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-did-you-announce-to-first#post-1963884 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 15:24:00 +0000 wonderstruck 1963884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS #1, it was a co-worker I was close with. I got my BFP right before going in, couldn't tell DH until that night, and was going crazy!</p> <p>With DS #2 I was testing early and the line was very faint, so I had my May 2013 mamas (WB group that converted to a FB group) look first and tell me if they saw it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-did-you-announce-to-first#post-1963873 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 15:04:43 +0000 Oliviapope 1963873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and my mom!
