Yes, this. Frankly I prefer to hear all the news after child is born. When you already announce that its a girl, named McPaisley, and you have scheduled a c-section for April 1, meh. Its kind of anticlimactic for the actual birth. Leave a little mystery in your life.[/quote]

May I add to PP?  You missed a few steps!

1.)The pregnancy is announced as soon as humanly possible from your bathroom

- include photo proof of urine-soaked stick on granite countertop across all social media platforms (your blog and Instagram, et al)

- call elderly relatives and Luddite friends to announce the news that you're 6w pregnant

2.) repeat above after your first OB appointment (tap the brakes; your OB might make you wait an intolerable 8w, if so, blog and post away your frustrations)

3) plan social media strategy just after you have first sonogram, even if sex unable to be determined!

4) once you get that conclusive sonogram...blast off!  Don't hold anything back!  Tell the world.

5) immediately decide on first and middle names and only refer to baby as such for the duration of your pregnancy- about six months

[b]6.) 3D sonogram? Great!  Now we can figure out who [u]McPaisley Andrianiah[/u] looks like!

By the time your baby is born, *yawn* we're collectively relieved and frankly, a little underwhelmed[/quote][/quote]
