It was relatively hard to keep this secret from my closest friends. And the only reason why is because I'm such a big wine drinker (I never turn down a glass of wine) and the minute my friends realize I'm not drinking - welp! there's a huge hint! Funny enough, the entire 12 weeks that we were waiting to share the news, we had several friends visit us from New York and California.

Why not just tell the world? Some people absolutely do and they should! To each their own, right? For me, I wanted to see and hear my baby's heartbeat at 8 weeks before telling even our closest family and friends. From 8 weeks to 12 weeks, I was open about who I shared it with as long as I saw them in person!

It wasn't until 12 weeks that we publicly shared it with our friends and family via email and then social media. :)
