Anyone not told family yet/

[KrisM]

We told my family last week, at 17 weeks, because we finally got together with my parents.

DH's family is 700 miles away and they still don't know. We're trying to figure out a fun way to tell them. Part of the time, we figure we might just not say anything and send birth announcements . Mostly joking on that one!

Hmmm, well w/the stats in your sig, wouldn't they be expecting something 8/08 with your track record? LOL

There's no way we *could* keep it a secret. We see my family all the time, and I'm showing a LOT. And once my parents knew, we had to tell the IL's. They would be really upset if we didn't.

My in-laws are the only ones who don't know yet. I think I secretly like keeping secrets from my MIL.

But we plan to tell them soon.

Really.

I've told everyone but my sister and starting to feel guilty about it. I still don't want to tell her, but I know if I wait until the baby is born, she'll be even more upset that I kept quite.

We've only talked twice in the past 4 months, but still haven't brought it up. Maybe in the next month or so I'll slip it into conversation. I better, especially since there has been no other news and all we've talked about is how 'boring' our lives are lately.

Why not do a do it yourself birth announcement announcing the future birth of another child?? Or mail them a picture of your other children holding a sign that they are going to be big siblings...

Yeah, we goofed! We just had our anniversary, too - #6, so 02/02.

The funniest was that DD was due May 23 and was 12 days late. My aunt was convinced that she'd be a June baby just for the 06/06 part.

I'm due the 14th this time, so no chance of 08/08.
