And we're public!

Now everyone knows! And it is such a relief to be honest.

In the afternoon of the day of my scan, I saw one of my friends. I sent her a cryptic text saying I had something to show her at my house, and would she be able to pop by that afternoon. She sent one back saying she could... but I think my cryptic message worried her, cause not long after she sent me another text asking if everything was okay, she was concerned. I assured her I was showing her something good! She came about an hour later and I brought her over to the computer and showed her the scan photo on the screen. I think I stunned her into silence a bit. She really had no idea. She hugged me and said congratulations. We started talking about other things, then she would shake her head in disbelief and say that's great, etc. Not quite the reaction I was expecting haha, but I had confused the poor thing with my cryptic text.

Then last night we had other friends (a couple) over for a BBQ tea. We told them over dinner. A pretty subdued reaction, but they're both fairly quiet, so I wouldn't expect a big reaction from them haha. Plus, I guess by number three, pregnancies and babies are old news. Anyway, they were really happy for us. I'm fairly sure they are trying for a baby, so fingers crossed it happens for them soon and we can be pregnant together!

That was everyone we wanted to tell in person, so the next thing to do was post an announcement on FB - that generally covers everyone else! I posted this photo and announcement:

"[we are all] thrilled to annouce we are expecting a third beautiful bubba, due to join our family in late July. A scan yesterday showed a healthy, happy baby with hiccups and even playing with the cord. As you can see O...... and A.... are very excited!"

And then I just left it and let the comments and likes go nuts! Most people knew by now to be honest, there were only a few who didn't. But now it is out there and everyone knows!
