That Unbaby.me extension for scrubbing infants from your feed is about to get a lot more useful. Today Facebook launches a new Timeline event that lets you share that you’re expecting a baby, the due date, and whether it’s a boy or girl. Baby announcements appear in the Celebration sidebar beside birthdays on the day the kid is expected to pop out, along with showing up in the news feed. This new life event for babies is another sign that Facebook is maturing as its original user base of college kids in 2004 start hatching users who can join Facebook 13 years down the line.
You can add a baby life event by selecting the announcement from the Life Events drop down in the publisher on your Timeline.
Then on the due date it will appear in the Celebration sidebars of friends.
Today’s feature release follows the added ability to announce the date of your upcoming marriage on Facebook. And who knows, maybe the push is Zuck’s subtle way of saying him and new bride are expecting.
