Who to phone first?

[HotI]

It was wonderful having him at a crazy hour so we could just enjoy those first 12 hours by ourselves.

So true! My little one was born 8pm and we rang our folks about an hour later (mine first), but we knew no-one could come in until later the next day. My Mum visited the next morning.

I waited until the next morning to call anyone else. I needed to recover and enjoy bub.

My DH tried to send a mass sms but when he added all the names the phone said too many recipients and wouldn't send. So check how many recipients your phone can send to in one go!

I was under that impression too, being it was 9pm when I got back from surgery but the IL's were there (which was fair enough, they were picking up DF to take him home because he hadnt had much sleep in the previous 48hours and didnt want to drive home) & my mum & her partner just showed up because they were having dinner at a pub nearby & they let them in

We tried to call our own at the same time. DH mum didnt pick up and mine was at lunch! Then it was just who called back first.

With DS1 mum was there so she called dad and DH called his parents.

DS2 DH called mum who was at our house with DS1 then he called his parents, cant remember if I called dad or mum did.

We don't see DH's family so for us it was who to call first, my (divorced) mum or dad. DH called my mum first - who was in Egypt and it was VERY early in the morning! LOL

FWIW, I don't think it matters anyway. Nobody will know who got the first phone call, and if they do happen to ask, tell them they were the first regardless!

I agree Corelly, I don't think they will ask who was 1st anyway.

We haven't thought of who we would tell 1st, when it came to the pregnancy announcement we saw all the grand parents within an week of each other so we told them when we saw them. With the BA we haven't really thought about who yet? Because my parents will be the last to see bubs in the flesh (they live interstate) I think we will call them 1st than dh mum (1st grand child for her) then dh's dad cause we know they wont care if they are last (not into that kind of favorites crap) and they will prob see bubs 1st. We are also not telling anyone until we are good and ready, even if that's a week after the birth lol
