i was hoping to wait until Christmas to tell a lot of my family - simply because of estrangement between DH and his family, and the fact that some of my family are friends with some of his (it's bloody confusing!) - however, a friend of a friend works at Target, seen DH picking up baby stuff, and not only blabbed to our mutual friend that i was pregnant (thankfully i'd already told her) but also said something to my mum in front of other family. NOT HAPPY! anyway, with her on the blab front, i need to start telling people so that they don't hear things from this woman (who my mum has officially complained about!)

will tell the last of the "close" family after Monday's scan (woot woot!) - and after that, well, as people find out they find out. i had intentions of doing a cute Christmas Card with 12w scan piccie with a little santa hat on - but seeing everyone has decided to ruin the suprise, i'll just tell people. not what i wanted to do, but everyone seems to think 12 weeks is the magic milestone and i should get over it - so bugger them - i'll not be "cute"!
