    With the twins DP was with me and I just kept hitting him on the arm while watching the 2nd line appear.. This time, I sent a pic of the positive test and wrote: I think we should see each other today, I'll pick you up after Tafe. BTW do you like the pic.. Hde called back and said "What is it?" I replied "It's a f...ing positive pregnancy test!" It kinda ruined it Lol.. The line was feint though.. I also sent it to my friend though and she knew straight away... Men!

    With Cooper I sent a picture of the positive test to mum and she said 'should I be excited?' lol well duh I wouldn't send a pic of a negative test lol, with pickle it was the night we were celebrating DFs 21st so I pulled him aside showed him the test and said 'happy birthday' needless to say he didn't stop smiling the rest of the night

    On BellyBelly. I kept it quiet until 10wks then uploaded my pregnancy avatar. That was my pregnancy with Ashton. Only a select few knew.

    To tell Andrew when I was pregnant with Ashton. He heard the "Oh ****" come out of the toilet LMAO.

    With Kameron our first born. I took a the positive pregnancy test to Mum's and told her she was looking at her newest grandchild to be. I think with Andrew I just blurted it out and started crying, and I pretty much did the same for Lachlan lol.

    You're right - I'm gonna be so disappointed I think, pregnancy and bub raising can't possibly be as awesome as I've made it in my head!

    Sadly my announcements have always been immediately followed with a 'but....', or I didn't know until I lost the bub That's why I wanna make my next one extra special, I don't wanna be saying anything but good things!

    Ah, I never got to 'announce' it like a normal person. Except on BB. But I was too scared to do that really.
    I would love to surprise DH with an announcement out of the blue. That would be great - nothing fancy, just a Guess what?!

    we had planned to give everyone a christmas card with a pic of bub from 12 week scan - but some twit at Target told my aunt and ruined it all so i had to do the family ring around early. i did manage to surprise a few rellos by changing my fb profile pic at 12 weeks - they rang other family instead of asking me outright lol

    I just ring people and tell them. lol
    All our family is OS or the other side of the country, so no other way really. Besides, I'm not one for dramatics about all that sort of stuff.
    I don't even remember how I told DH about DD2.

    Oh that is so wrong BG, didja complain? What a bigmouth!

    LOL LS, you sound like my sister. She forgot to even tell us for a few weeks, she just goes 'oh, i'm pregnant again btw, been meaning to mention it'
