I told my DH.... by screaming for him because it was like the movies when my water started to break
Then I came here
I'm not really sure if I want people at the hospital. I don't want to get annoyed so I'm waiting on telling anyone else. Ohhh I DID call my mom. She's going to come up. But I warned her if I get emotional or mean she can't get upset if I ask her to leave, just because I can see it possibly happening.
I'll tell DH and then MIL since she's going to meet us en route to take DS. I'll probably wait to tell most everyone else because I want some time just the 3 of us and then 4 of us w/ DS before anyone else comes.
And then my mom, a few select friends, and my DDB. I DO NOT want it on facebook at all since that will stress me out! Actually, and definitely NOT my MIL or SIL since they are bat-s.hit crazy...DH is on board with not telling his sister....still working on not telling his mom.
Obvioulsy Chris will be the first to know since he will be right there. Then I'd like my girls to come in to see her and then the GPs. I will probably post on FB to let everyone else know not too long after she is born and I'm back to my room.
Shaun is already here at home with me, and so is my mum, so my first update would be here.
Once I'm in hospital it'll be my DDB Sarah and my back-up DDB Jennifer. I don't *think* we'll be able to email from hospital, otherwise it would be my other DDB Emma.
Family will not get to know until baby's here. Like many of you here I don't want a mass descent on the hospital!!!
As for FB probably nothing on there for a good few weeks!!! Not a great FB fan.
Dh, of course. Mom because she's supposed to be coming to watch my boy and is 2 1/2 hours away. I'll encourage Dh to call his mother because it's exciting and I like to include her but he prefers to wait on such things so we'll see. I'll probably pm my two closest friends and my DDB. I'm undecided about posting anything to Facebook

Last night I informed DH I was having real contractions and bloody show and to expect our guy maybe today. So he was first. Then I texted my mom, this was at midnight, to let her know because I know she has her phone on in her bedroom for just that reason. After that I was waiting around to see if the contractions picked up so I updated on here.
I'll tell Alan first, unless he is working then I'll call my best friend and we can chat away until Alan gets back. If im at home I will probably post on here and may put something on facebook.
After the birth its really up to Alan to spread the word but i will be sending out one txt myself to my due date buddy (Sharron) so everyone on here can know whats going on.

Lol Sarah, I just hope you and I don't end up being in hospital at the same time, which is a conceivable possibility.
I also have Jennifer's (Hopefulpinkangel) cell number just in case! - Though sometimes my phone just won't send to US numbers and sometimes it will.
Besides DH I think I will keep it a secret lol, last time I just wanted to spend time with my little man and all the friends & family kept intruding, when all I wanted was some peace and quiet time - they can come the day after when I have slept and showered
DH first of course. Then my doula, possibly midwife, both my mom and MIL & my DDB Mirna. Eventually I will text my friend who wants to be at the birth, but I'm going to probably let her know to just meet us at the hospital. Everyone else can wait. I have a short list of people I will text after the birth and then just let the cat out of the bag on FB once the important people know and have seen her first.
Hubby, then MIL since she'll be staying with the kids. Then I'll call my parents. After she arrives we'll notify our grandparents, and best friends. And I'll of course keep my DDB updated here too
