Announcing your pregnancy

loveislife

How did or how to you plan on telling your family members that you are expecting?

We were just planning on calling them. We decided to not go the cutesy route.

We waited until Mother's Day.  Our parents are all divorced/remarried (so we had to make 4 stops.  Long day.)  Plus we were 11 weeks - so it felt safe to spill the beans.  We just put an u/s pic in every mom's card.

When I was prego with DS #1 my MIL bought me a shirt that said it started with a kiss, well I kept it and when I found out I was prego with DS # 2 I wore the shirt when I went to visit. That was fun!!! We always (MIL and I) said one more for luck and joked about needing another girl. With this pregnancy I called her at work and asked her so did you want a penis this time or a vagina ( I know sick sense of humor) she started laughing and said vagina!! lol I am sure she got looks from her co-workers!

the first people we wanted to tell were my parents. (DH is closer to them than his actual parents so it wasn't even a question for us.) i took a picture of the home test with the positive result and e-mailed it to her with 2 words - call me!

i don't think i waited 30 seconds before i got a tearful call from mom. the first thing she said was,"you better not be screwing with my head!" how sweet.

we told the rest of the family 3 weeks later at thanksgiving when we were out of the first trimester.
