Facebook Junkie

I've found that it's kinda funny in today's world that we had to think of when and how to announce McNugget's arrival on our Facebook profiles. Ten years ago, a world before Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and the like, expectant parents would never had imagined they 'needed' to spread their news to the world like that.

We wanted to keep the news on the down low for awhile - and had originally discussed not making that announcement to our Facebook friends until the first trimester was over. However, Linda's status update yesterday was "Since Brian has told just about everyone anyway... We are expecting! McNugget should be born sometime on or around Easter (April 4) next year." I quickly commented on this and stated, "Uhhh, the cat's outta the bag?? I've only told family and coworkers!! But since you've posted on your FB - then I can too!!!!!!" And in my defense, only a handful of coworkers and most of my immediate family knew. I was just waiting for Linda to move first before I posted anything. I immediately got to work, updated my status with our news, posted McNugget's first ultrasound pictures and a link to this blog. My email inbox was flooded all night, and continues to be inundated with messages from my Facebook friends with their well wishes and congratulations! It really is heartwarming and I can tell this little one is already loved by so many! Thanks friends!
