I bought a "pregasaurus rex" t-shirt from cafepress.com and wore that when we told my in-laws. I told them that I had a baby in my tummy and that sometimes I get cranky like the dinosaur on my shirt! rawr! (By the way-- DH and I are rather silly and in-laws are more serious/conservative).
We haven't told everyone yet, but I got picture Christmas ornaments from Hallmark that say "Grandchild are the perfect gift" (or something similar)! My first U/S is Dec 9, so we're going to put a picture of that in there and give it to them as a normal Christmas present!:)
We made a "I'm the Big Brother" t shirt for DS and he wore it to thanksgiving at my IL's and my parents house. we only told the immediate family before the rest got there and then put a new shirt on DS. cheesey but i am glad i got to do it!
Only my parents and our BFFs know right now. I called my mom this morning (took test #1 last evening and test #2 this morning to confirm).
She's already done with her Christmas shopping. So I said, "I think you should get started on Christmas shopping for next year, because you're going to have an extra person to buy for!" I was SO nervous to say that out loud - it's still so weird. But she was thrilled!
