It’s maybe later than what people usually tell their friends about their pregnancy, but at week 16 we haven’t told most of them. I think in general, people tell everybody around week 13 or when 2nd trimester starts. Of course, every individual has their own timings so that’s not a rule though. In fact, I told my parents right away around week 4 or so LOL
At least nothing has mentioned on our social media. I told few of my friends and my coworkers (HR manager and my manager only) in person, and my families were told through phone calls. That’s about it. We even recently told my husband’s siblings, like few days ago.
The reasons why we waited is because I wanted to take a professional photos with some items that I ordered on Amazon. Mostly for my dog. But before it happened, Coronavirus pandemic hit US pretty hard. I didn’t bother to call in to find out if they were even open. So when we were ready to tell everybody, we couldn’t get a chance. I mean you know, pandemic is still going on at this moment. I don’t want to even take a risk to go outside.
But, I guess it was about time, and since my mother in law was asking when to announce to other family members, we had no choice but take photos by ourselves.
So here’s what we had in mind 🙂 – although, it didn’t become a family group photo.
It was the smallest I could find that I also liked the design. Orbit had to wear it on the back side to be able to read all words LOL (Orbit is about 13lbs and 18.5″ long from neck to butt. )
Here’s another shots. At this point, his eyes were about to close so we couldn’t take more photos of him haha
Now I guess we are ready to spread a word 🙂
