Fun way to spread the news about my pg?

I have been waiting for this moment for years, and now that I am pg I have no idea how to tell family and friends.  I have told a few close friends so far and felt really awkward, and just blurted it out at inopportune moments.  Wee are going to tell everyone else as we see them over the holiday - at a few family dinners, and we are also having a big party with alot of our friends.  What is the best way to tell? Right away when we see them?  Wait a bit?  A big group announcement?  Pull people aside to tell them one on one?

Re: Fun way to spread the news about my pg?

  • I think the best way depends on the mood and formality of the gathering as well as what you feel comfortable with.  There is always the fall back of the get together for a pic.  "say heather is pregnant" thing.

  • I know this is bizarre, but I've been HATING telling people I'm pregnant.  I can't explain it, but I just dread it.  It just feels weird.  So for me, the psycho, email has been the way to go.  Real personal, huh?  Or I have DH do it when I'm not around.  I don't know what's wrong with me.

  • I know - weird huh?  I'm so "early" pg that we haven't told very many people but the ones we have told - it has definitly felt "odd" to say the least.
