I sent an email to our friends like that. Just a little email saying we were expecting. I dont think anyone thought we wanted gifts.

When we found out the baby's gender, I sent another email with my sono pic that I have in my avatar.

When we have the baby I'll mail an announcement to those same people. I dont think anyone will think we're looking for gift. I would just think it was a baby announcement, sharing good news.

I mentioned in an email that I may have some pregnancy and parenting questions for them. They obviously figured it out Chat Icon

I sent an e-mail with a sono pic attached and just said "Look who will be joining us in April". They were all excited for us, and nobody thought it was a ploy for a gift.

For our first, we announced it in our Christmas cards. We signed it from Trish, Dan and baby to be.

This time around, we sent an email update and showed a picture of Andrew wearing a shirt that said "I'm a big brother" It took a while for some people to catch on Chat Icon

If we are not close to friends I would not go out of my way to tell them. THey would most likely end up hearing it by word of mouth from other people.

My close friends I called.

People that I do not keep in touch with regularly, I did not contact to tell them. I just waited until the next time I spoke to them, and when the "what's new?" question came up, I told them. I always feel weird telling people I don't talk to all the time because I feel like assuming they'd care is presumptuous.
