[altarflame]

Hey everyone, this is Laura, Tina's sister. I am writing to let everyone know that Jacob Luke Walker was born tonight at 8:26pm and weighs a whopping nine pounds and point twelve ounces. I am sure Tina or Grant will write more soon.

I'm not pissed at you, but it made me go from "How will I share this, when I feel ready" to "Riiiight...now everyone knows and is presuming things and I need to come in and say 'That's right folks'..."

I would be just as upset if it was anyone, btw. I was momentarily irritated with Grant just for posting a birth announcement through my sister. I feel like it's my journal and I don't want anyone passing out partial bits of info through it, on something that's effecting me so deeply, unless it's my idea. You have a journal with lots of concerned christians on it who's prayers I appreciate...

it's a little hard to do so when the people I need to ask are in a hospital room.
Pick up a phone. That's not hard at all. Often they have phones in the hospital rooms, and if not you can leave a message for her at the desk. I have received phone calls while in hospital on many occasions.

Sorry if I royally pissed you off
I said I would be if I was her, not that I was.

You don't get what this meant, to her or her readers, which is why you can't see that our reactions are justified. Overall, you should never deliver birth news except BARE stats (weight, length, name). Even posting pictures is off-limits. Reserve those rights for mom.
If I was you, I'd delete the note I left with birth details out of respect for her boundaries.
