1st Trimester

Best ways to break the news?

5 BFPs later (crazy?) I'm ready to tell my Dad the news.  This will be his first grandchild, and I only have 1 chance to tell him he's going to be a grandpa.  I want it to be memorable, but even more, I want it to be FUNNY.  Any clever ideas?

  • I'm on the fence about this too.  

    I fear it may be a phone call since I never see him.

  • My LO was the first grandchild on my side of the family.  I gave my mom a frame saying "I love my NANA"  (What she wanted to be called.)  For my dad I gave my half brother and sister buttons that said "Best Aunt/Uncle"  Then had them show my dad.  It was cute.

    With my In-Laws my LO was the 9th grandchild but their baby boys first ...When we were in High school, my hubby used to drink a ton of Mt. Dew.  His mom would tease him that it would kill his sperm and she wanted more grandchildren one day.  SO we gave her a bottle of mt. Dew and said it didn't kill his sperm...yes we are very close! lol

  • We gave my parents a picture of a bun in an oven.... took them awhile to figure it out but it was hilarious when they did. The framed photo still sits in their living room :)

  • DD was the first grandchild on my husband's side and he's the youngest of 6.  It was a big deal.  I stole the idea from a website, but he wore a shirt at Thanksgiving that said "My Boys Can Swim 6/14/2010"  Everyoone loved it and thought it was funny.

    This time to tell my dad (he's in FL and I'm in IL), II called him and told him I was sending him a picture via text.  I told him to call me back after he saw it.  He was so excited.  The other idea I had was to tell him over Skype with DD wearing her "Big Sister" shirt.
