Finding out name of new niece on FB

SIL had a baby girl on Friday. They couldn't decide on a name for a few days. We haven't kept asking for a name as we remember only too well how manic it is with a newborn so didn't want to harass them but I have tonight learnt on FB what the name is. AIBU for being a bit miffed about this?

Their baby's birth/name isnt actually about you.

I'm just imagining all these new parents having to think of all the different ways they need to let all the different people in their lives know all the different pieces of information in all the different ways all the different people deem appropriate and not insulting before being able to share their news the way they want to. Hmm

I'm sure they have more to worry about right now than whether they have delivered the news to you in the correct way. Get over yourself.

I would be a bit annoyed too, mind you, I found out that I was having a niece/nephew via Facebook and the sex of the baby after the scan via Facebook.

However, it's probably just because they are so busy and excited, so try not to let it bother you too much.
