crazy oversharing coirker of the naturopathic medicine persuasion told me she just got a positive pregnancy test.  Seriously, she must have run from the pee stick to the computer to IM me about this.

    Oh god, she's going to be a fun one while pregnant.  She probably won't eat anything that isn't organic, locally-grown, and free of artifical colors.

    we told our parents a few weeks after the bfp and after we saw the dr.  fil has apparently been telling everyone since then.  it's going to be his problem, though, if he has to do any untelling.

    that's practically true now.

    On the advice of the naturopath, she's been drinking salt water.  I wish I could remember why, but she said you knew you were adding too much salt when it stopped tasting good, but as long as it tasted good you knew you were too dehydrated (or something). And of course it's not regular morton's salt. It's some kind of rock sea salt something or other.

    Of course it is.  It's probably from the Dead Sea or something.  Saltwater--SMH.  Just go drink a Gatorade.

    She's the type to give birth to a totally conventional, conservative kid who will grow up being supremely embarrassed of her.

    You'd think she'd've learned the whole "untelling" thing, too.  She had a miscarriage in January.  She was about 9 weeks in.  She had already told EVERYONE at work and both families AND their 2.5 year old.  Try untelling to a toddler.

    Their solution? They didn't.  They just figured they'd get insta-pregnant again and he wouldn't know the difference, really, between a 9 month gestation and a 12 month one.  Poor kid was asking this whole time "how big is the baby now?"

    My mother didn't wait to get home. She whipped out her phone and called her sister after she recovered from the excitement.

    We told my mom at Thanksgiving and her dinner got cold while she burned up the phone lines calling my grandma, my aunt, my brother, etc.  Her squeeing frightened the cats.

    Good to know. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> I think this is all that's keeping me from shouting it from the rooftops before even going to the dr.

    I want to tell my Mom and sisters/brother more than anything. I have not.

    I will be telling DH, and then a few weeks later, we'll tell the parents. If it was up to me, we wouldn't tell the IL's until I am 30 weeks along, because they're going to tell EVERYONE.

    And of course, I'll tell you ladies right away.

    I thought you were making an announcement.

    We told parents right away but they weren't allowed to tell anyone until we said so.  They kept their word.
