I hear it's better to wait till 12 weeks but my fiancée and I have been wanting this little baby for almost a year. We told immediate family two days after we found out. I was 8+4.  I told my manager and coworkers at 10 weeks and everyone else will find out as time goes. I'm 11+2 and will probably share on Facebook after my 12 week appointment  :)

I was going to wait for 12 weeks (keeping that for friends and coworkers), but tomorrow is my niece's 3rd birthday party and a few days later is my father in law's birthday so we decided to tell family this weekend. Just hit 10 weeks on Friday and had another ultrasound, very strong heartbeat and everything looks good, so I'm comfortable now sharing the news. Plus my brother called last night to say they're expecting their second 1 month ahead of us, so I went ahead and told him. Going to be a big year!
