DH was first for all of them

Followed closely by close friends via text, then OB, then parents via phone call.

DS1 was the babys father, then my sister via phone.

DD was a close friend who'd been TTC and found out she was preg the month before (actually.. would have been Charting girls on Treasures cos I was in shock after saying I wasn't going to bother testing since we'd been told less than 2 months earlier we needed IVF!) just cos I had to ring someone and say it out loud... my bestie at the time wouldnt answer her bloody phone! Then I showed DD's godmother (in waiting at the time, we'd agreed she would be godmother if and when I finally got preg with a keeper) THEN I sent DP a text in shock... needed someone to see the lines before I believed it was real!

DS2 was TheKelly (after testing with what may or may not have been an uber-faint test at her house, symptoms screamed I was preg though!) along with charting ladies on here, then my bestie (we now have toddlers 2 weeks apart, and babies 5 weeks apart cos she got preg the next month lol!) then godmother-to-be... then 2 days later I told DP (had to wait til there was more than just faint lines to show him lol).

For DD1
DP, and then Mum/Dad/Sis, MIL/FIL when we went to visit them a couple of weeks later.
Everyone else after 13 weeks, she was an unexpected baby.

For DD2
DP, then MIL/FIL (they live with us) and BIL/SIL (who also live with us) then my Mum and my Sis and Dad. They all knew we were trying for a second anyways.

Everyone else I waited till I had an 8 week scan then did a general announcement on Facebook at 12 weeks.
Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd!

My flatmate who i bumped into coming out of the bathroom with pee stick in hand. Then my other flatmate because the first flatmate yelled. Then the third flatmate because i couldnt leave him out. All of them are boys in their early 20's poor things. They made me a bacon sandwhich. Baby was unplanned and unexpected. I was staring at the TV in shock and they came in with bacon. What legends. Then babys dad.
