   DD1: A good friend.  I wasn't with the baby's father.  
DS:  DH
 DD2: DH, then my Nana.  My Nana then passed away when I was 14 weeks pregnant.  We gave our baby girl Nana's name as her middle name.

   DH just after the test, and then on the phone to my parents. We waited until the next day to tell DH's parents and my sister. And then after getting it confirmed at the doctors we then told the rest of the family and close friends. So hard to wait until 12 weeks to tell everyone else though!

The OB Charting girls had already worked it out, the +HPT was simply a confirmation of what my chart was saying.

   DH, then my sister next time I saw her, then daycare the next working day (gotta get on that waiting list asap!). Same both times.
 Actually, second time round, I think I told DD before DH seeing as she'd followed me to the bathroom, but at 13 months old, I don't think she got it    |

   This time round, DH (in a state of stunned amazement!), then Mum and Dad, then some good friends I met on the infertility boards when we were trying for Jacob. 
 Oh, but yes, like T_Rex, Jacob was actually the first to know, but I don't think he really got it    |
