We decided not to tell anyone about our pregnancy news until we hit the 12 week mark. We were still accepting the fact that I was having a baby and so soon! We also didn't want to tell people because if something sad happened to Baby we didn't want so much disappointment. IF something sad did happen, it would not have been kept a secret, but being my first pregnancy we just weren't sure how it would go.
It was very difficult for both Frank and I to not say anything to anyone. My very best friend of over 15 years had told us 3 days after our wedding that she and her hubs were expecting their first baby. I was/am so excited for them and we started talking baby stuff right away! It was a little tricky not to slip up.
I also gchat with my Mom almost daily and that made it really hard not to tell her our news! Frank is very close to his brother and they don't keep secrets. Frank and I had several discussions about this because he really struggled with not telling his #1 confidant.
The 12th week of our pregnancy was 1 week before our family vacation. We decided we wanted to wait the extra week so that we could tell family in person....more on that in another post!!
