Dd1 was born at 9.20 pm so we rang grandparents that night, about 11.30pm once I was out of recovery etc and then waited until the next day for everyone else.

Dd2 was born about 3 pm but nobody got told until dd1 was brought into hospital with the grandmothers and had been introduced. Dp wouldn't even tell the grandmothers what the baby was until dd1 had met her. They still get huffy about him making them wait but we wanted dd1 to be the first to know!
