    Do whatever you feel like doing Hun!

    You could go out of your way and design a special e-card with flashing thingys and music and show how exciting you are to be announcing another pregnancy.

    thats more exciting than a phone call for sure!

    And pfffft to your sister. Does that mean she has been unhappy for your last few pregnancies? How unfair.

    I remember coping crap off a few people for not telling them personally. What tehy didnt get was that I have such a massive family with everyone who is divorced that by the time we told both sets of my aprens, my sister, DP's divorced parents and his sisters, we were over talking on the phone! I have a step sister who still has no idea I am pregnant and I have no intention of ringing her to tell her as she is a nasty girl!

    I think it depends on whether or not you regularly contact them via email. In my situation, email and text is fine for my siblings but my parents I either tell in person or over the phone. DH's side all get told over the phone, via sms or through the grapevine.
