We are awaiting the arrival of a precious gift. A baby. Due August 21st of this year.
We have strategically shared the news with friends and family over the last several weeks, but the announcement went out to the masses at about 1PM on Saturday via Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. If it was at all possible, I would’ve kept my pregnancy private for the whole nine months….but that just wasn’t in the cards….especially with a growing belly.
Even though I cherished sharing what felt like the sweetest secret with Philip (and wish it could have lasted a little longer), I can appreciate all of the joy and excitement expressed by our friends and loved ones. We had a fun weekend full of phone calls and messages, and it has made us feel supported and surrounded with love.
I made it almost 15 weeks before we felt like our news needed to be shared. How long did you wait to share pregnancy news? I’d love to know.
Expecting,
B
Congrats!!!!!
I told right at 12 weeks. After all the fertility stuff it was too hard to keep the news secret!
Thank you! I can imagine. It was a tough secret to keep.
What a beautiful baby you will have! Excited for you!
Thanks so much!
Congrats!! That’s wonderful news.
Brigette, this is fantastic news! Congratulations! Shaun and I made it 11 weeks before telling. It is such a special secret to keep. Then we decided to keep her name a secret which was a LOT of fun. Then when she made her arrival we introduced her to the world along with her name. So the secrets don’t have to stop here!
You will be a wonderful mother.
Thank you! I love the idea of not announcing the name until the baby’s birth day. I’m sure we’ll have friends and family who will protest!
Gosh I am such a horrible secret keeper! I wanted to shout from the rooftops with my first pregnancy! We waited about 6 weeks though before we announced to everyone. My second one was much different because my sister had just announced her pregnancy and I didn’t want to be a thunder stealer. It was about 8 weeks before we told and only did it because I had such morning sickness that I needed help from my mom with Madelyn! Very excited for you! Congrats again!
