How many different ways can you tell people you're pregnant?
There's the direct statement, but even that has several variations: "we're pregnant;" "we're expecting;" "we're having a baby." There's the indirect statement that I used on my boss. "Remember how we were trying to get pregnant? Yeah, we're not trying anymore!" I realize now that the big grin on my face was key to revealing the news to him.
There are also ways to spread the news without saying anything at all. We told our families on Easter by giving a card to the moms that was signed "Jess, Jared and baby Young." Their shocked expressions tipped off everyone else with us just confirming their assumptions.
And now, for the big Facebook reveal. I put together a cute picture I plan to post tomorrow to tell the world that we're having a baby. I'm 7.5 weeks pregnant, and we got to hear the baby's heartbeat at our first ultrasound on Friday. This lowers the chance of miscarriage to 2%, so we feel comfortable sharing the news with everyone now.
