Aries,
So sweet of you hun...i really do get stuck sometimes and have no idea what to say as i know words can do absolutely nothing sometimes. It is not easy for anyone in here. I fumble but thank you for being so lovely.
You are only a couple of days behind me on my cycle. I am cd6 and counting. All my wishes and baby dust for you. I hope everything turns out as planned.

Dory,
I can only help with my experience and opinion....you will know what to do hun and it will be perfect. My SIL/best friend at the time decided not to tell me until 12weeks and let just say our very close friendship has never been the same since. I felt betrayed and lied to everyday. I have not been able to get back to where we were even though i know 'rationally' that she had every right to keep it to herself. Our friendship became false and guarded. There is only so long that you can keep that sort of info without hurting people.
HOWEVER, i have heard of people after having lost a child...keeping it to themselves, telling people different dates, telling people part of the information to help give them space and time to deal with things. I am not sure how i feel about that. I think for us, we will say what month we are due and leave it at that. I am not sure who i will tell and when this time round...when it actually happens that is (the eternal optimist). I have thought about and just not sure yet. I think we will decide that when it happens. Last time we told SIL/BF at 6 weeks and parents at 8 weeks and all others at 10 and 12 weeks.

You will know exactly what to do hun.
Love and wishes
HM xoxo
