Unable to announce on my own...

Found out again it was a boy with our Moms. Right away, of course, told my sisters. They are my sisters!! I didn't get to do my cute announcement on FB like I wanted. One of them blew it up on FB right away. I know they're excited, but I'm kind of bummed now. I swear, I never get to do my own announcement of MY things... Same thing happened when I got engaged. I know I am being a big baby, but it sucks a bit. Anyway, I just wanted to vent a lil bit. Oh ya, and it is a FOR SURE BOY!! He sure has a package and he was gladly showing it off!!! Lol So amazing

Re: Unable to announce on my own...

  • I know it's not much consolation but I would do your announcement anyway. I'm sure you have friends who aren't friends with your mom or sisters, plus it's always fun to post cute things.

    I'm sorry they blew it up without you. But congratulations on your baby boy! Maybe ban them from FB when delivery day comes. You'll get to make the biggest announcement of them all then? :)
  • Lol ya really.  I actually just did!!!  :)  Its all good.  Just bummed me out at first!!! It is exciting and we are super excited! 

    Ha ha I will most def tell them to wait so I can the delivery day. 

    Now we need to get on the names!!!  xoxo  Thanks :)

  • So happy they confirmed team blue for you, congrats again and welcome to the club! :)

    I'm really sorry about the fact that they posted it on FB before you. I would've been really bummed too. I specifically told my parents and siblings not to post anything until after me, that went for finding out the sex and delivery. I hope your family can respect your wishes to post first for the delivery.

    Congrats again on your SON! :)

  • I'm so sorry your news was spoiled.  I hate that.  It's YOUR news to share!  My dad did this when I got engaged.  He told EVERYONE...we got to tell our parents...that's pretty much it.  I was pissed.  I'm so sorry you didn't get to share how you wanted to, but I agree with PP...go ahead and do your announcement anyway.  You deserve to do it and share your news how you would like to.

    Also...YAY FOR TEAM BLUE!!!!  Congratulations on your baby boy!

  • i feel like this is a risk taken when you have other people present at the ultrasound. i would be pissed off, but i also haven't wanted anyone else to be present at that u/s besides DH. it's a private moment for us that we don't prefer to share. i would announce on my own, but still be pissed knowing that the announcement wasn't making as much of an impact.
    Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!

  • YAY again for team blue!!

    I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to announce it to the world:( that just sucks and you totally have the right to be annoyed!

  • Thanks girls. I went ahead and announced it.  Not exactly the way I was hoping, but did it last night.   My mom was good about letting me announce it to people.  I was bummed at first, let it get me down for about 10 minutes.  Lol so freaking crazy excited!!!!  :) 

    We are having a baby boy!  Little rambunctious guy too.  He was all over the place.  So amazing.  So awesome...
