There are three kids in my immediate family, ranging from 5-8. I'll be 10 weeks on Sunday, and we were planning on telling our families this weekend. BUT I'm a little hesitant about telling the kids. My sister had a miscarriage last year (I think she was 8 weeks?) and the kids were devastated by it. When she got pregnant again, they thought that something was going to happen again, or that the baby was going to not be alive when it came out. They were so worried through the whole pregnancy and it was SO hard to watch!
I'm terrified to tell them too early in case (heaven forbid) something happens, but I don't know how we could hide it from them but tell the rest of the family? I'll be 10 weeks when we tell them, do you think that's too early? We're also terribly excited to tell DH's son, and waiting 2 more weeks seems like an eternity!!!!
