We told my immediate family and my wife's right away. We told our close friends early on, but waited till after the 1st Trimester for that. Told folks at work with my blog DCUrbandad.com. Just sent that out with an email telling everyone of a new site I was writing for. Got back a lot of crazy emails. Was fun. Telling.
Had a friend who told her husband by putting the pee stick on a cookie cake from Mrs. Fields. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Ben this is a great story and a great lesson. But it is sad that we do not expect to be treated to this type of service in all instances. I know that is unrealistic, but still sad.
