Why didn't you tell me this three months ago?

We've heard this from multiple people this week as we've been calling and sharing the good news. People who have had babies or know people who've had babies don't ask this question - they seem to understand the general three month rule. But others, close friends who live far away that we don't talk to much, are hurt that we would wait so long. Then we feel guilty, but it seemed right at the time. Oh well, no regrets, we can't go back. We told who we told and now we're telling everyone else. And the phone calls keep going - we still have a long list of people to tell and a long list of people's feelings to hurt.
