August 2013 Moms

Hello

Ladies, so glad to be joining you! I got my BFP yesterday and looks like our first LO will be here around August 11. Is anyone else waiting till Christmas to tell family? I'm trying to decide the best way to spring the news. Any suggestions?

  • Congrats and welcome!! This is our first as well. I've spilled the beans to 2 girlfriends but we are waiting til Christmas to tell our families. I actually ordered a custom frame off etsy today that says... The best parents get promoted to grandparents. I'm going to put a sonogram pic in it!

    Happy and healthy 9 months to u!!!
  • Hi n congrats to u all?? This is my first little one n we r so excited. I'm waiting to Christmas to tell most of my family too.
  • Welcome and congrats...we are waiting until Christmas as well. Only a few close girlfriends know and my sis....I am so excited...I have 3 kids so this is our 4th. I am going to give mom a picture of all three kids with the youngest in the middle holding the sonogram that I am having done on the 20th of December.

  • This is our first LO too and we are telling everyone in Christmas as well. I'm wearing a shirt that has a gingerbread cookie on it and says cookie in the oven due in August and see who notices first. Welcome to the board and congrats!!

  • Lots of cute, cute ideas!  My DH talked about Christmastime too.  Augusts have a pretty good spot because Christmas is the holiday closest to a great time to break the news.  It will be hard to keep it from my mom, but I was thinking about getting little "best grandma in the word" outfits/bibs for my mom and MIL as gifts from us.  It will be tough though because my SIL is ALSO pregnant and due in April.  Cute idea about the gingerbread t-shirt.

  • Hi! I'm due Aug. 3rd and I couldn't wait to tell my family. I taped my test to the inside of my motherinlaw's birthday card at Thanksgiving and she screamed. Needless to say, we're all super excited. Our first baby!
  • All of you who want to announce on Christmas Eve should buy each recipient a tshirt with their new title and wrap it. Ex. Grandpa, Nana, etc. Or if you have a child already, they can wear a shirt that says "I'm going to be a big sister/brother"...family will catch on. Good luck to all of us
  • I think I was way more eager to tell people when I was pregnant with my first. This time around, I really like the idea of keeping it between DH and me for as long as possible. We will be waiting until Jan/Feb to even tell our parents.
