PSA: Our Future Pregnancy Announcement Will Be Super Obvious
The following is a public service announcement from Tabitha:
I'm not trying to be rude, but I feel the need to say something. I know that people mean well and that they are eager for us to expand our family. Nevertheless, I'm irritated that whenever I post anything about kids, people tend to think that it's an announcement. Nope, I'm just posting something that I thought was cute or interesting. It's come down to me having put a disclaimer on every child-related thing I post.
Allow me to let you in on a secret: when I'm really pregnant, I won't announce it by posting some random picture or article. What I post will include both Brandon and I with something baby-related and a caption that's extremely obvious about what's happening :-)
Of course, family members and close friends will get a phone call or visit where we tell them the exciting news. We love you too much to tell you by some random Facebook post.
Just in case anyone is curious, I am currently working on improving my health. Once I can resolve health concerns and we improve our finances, we will be in a better condition to welcome a little one. As for specifics of our health and finances, we prefer to only discuss this with family and close friends.
Again, please understand that I'm not trying to be rude. I just felt that it was important to share this information so you can better understand where we're at and not jump to conclusions based on what we post. :-)

I think it's awesome that you put this out there. It's very frustrating when people are thinking it's their business or trying to be funny about your personal life. So I totally respect this post and say to you Props, for standing up for yourself.
