I really want to do it because I'm so excited, but on the other hand something in my heart tells me not to do it... I did tell the whole world with my first and this time I'm hesitating... maybe because they will be only 2 years apart and I'm afraid of some weird comments..but I wanted it that way! Oh my hormones are fighting with this topic really bad...

15 weeks...
I posted " We are adding two feet onto our house in January". It worked for us because my husband is a contractor and we are always remodeling. :) Do it when and if it suits you to share the news with the whole entire world. I had a miscarriage recently and I hadn't posted anything on the web about it. I did tell my family and I was GLAD they knew because they were so supportive. I can't imagine carrying that sadness around without people I know and love understanding what is wrong.

With my first I told close family and friends and didn't post to fb til I was 8 months. I posted a pic of my baby bump. With this one I haven't posted anything to fb I'm 28 weeks and I think I'm going to keep it that way until I have the baby. I've already told the people who need to know. Me and the bd agreed on not posting to fb. I actually deleted my page to prevent from telling anyone because I'm just too excited lol.

My closest family and friends were told at 12 Weeks. At 21 Weeks I posted on fb `our little he is a little she <3`. Cause I was positive it was a boy. Lol. And yeah most ppl just figured it out from there. Im not one to write too much personal stuff on there. Im 28 Weeks now and dont write much about it.

I'm 37 weeks and there is nothing about my pregnancy on facebook. I plan to post a picture of my new family as the first announcement online. All my close friends and family were told around 6 weeks.

After I told everyone I wanted to know personally. A couple weeks later I posted something about not being able to get enough sleep and that it was going to be a long 9 months. That got a huge response!! Lol. I make my post kinda "unofficial"

I found a line on yahoo I loved "my hubby is having a baby. And I am pretty sure it's mine" I thought it was cute. I was too anxious so I posted around 9 weeks.
