I found out that I am pregnant last week (whoo-hooo!)
So my husband Keith and I are in the debate of when to tell our very close friends and immediate family. He is very excited and wants to tell people right away. I would prefer hearing a heartbeat first, but have to admit, it's hard to be around people we're very close to and not tell them. It feels almost like lying.
(No one even knows that we've been trying (for years), so it'll be quite the shock.)
And I do realize that while they'll keep it relatively secret, word may spread a bit. Just the nature of humans in my opinion.
So I thought I'd ask you ladies what your thoughts are on telling your close friends and parents/siblings etc. Did most of you tell them immediately, or wait a while?
(I completely realize there is obviously no "right" answer. I just thought I'd see what your experiences were!)
