We made sure we told our families beforehand because I would definitely felt terrible keeping it secret from them - I was worried about my parents reactions but they were so cool! Because we are having a big blessing later this year and everyone will be invited to that they are happy and are focusing on coming to that. The hardest thing was not telling my friends, especially those who live in Sheffield and could have popped down...if I'd had my way I would have told a few really close ones, but was sworn to secrecy! Yesterday I texted my 3 close friends to tell them - 2 were suprised but really happy for me but one has gone all funny on me - she just texted back 'congratulations' and nothing else which is not like her, and then later she put this big thing on her FB about how her friends take her for granted and give nothing back...feel like it may be directed at me? mmmmm. Feel bad, but as long as our families were ok we were ok.......plus we really will have a big do later this year so this one was more of a formality before baby was born! xx
