Creative ways to tell families we are pregnant through email or phone?
My hubby and I will hopefully find out the gender next Saturday at our gender scan, 16 week mark.
All of our families are in different states. Any ideas?

My DH is a software engineer so we sent out an announcement with information like companies do for next generation software.You know like Windows 7.
It read something like
Coming soon release date November 2 "family name" 5.0 (for our fifth child).
All his buddies at work and tech savvy friends got it right off. We had to explain to my parents generation.

We didn't do this for our families, but did this for our Facebook post...
We took a picture of ourselves, then Photoshopped it to add a call-out that reads "'I'm in the picture too!' ~Baby V" with the call-out pointing to my tummy as if the baby was talking
DH and I took a picture one day. We got a bag of buns from the grocery store and put one on a tray in the oven. We opened the oven up and kneeled down next to it with big smiles. We had a friend take a picture of us with "a bun in the oven". It turned out really cute and we sent it off. It also later became our facebook photos. What was really cute was that both of our dogs were very interested in what we were doing and in the bun in the oven! The picture had their heads in it staring at the bun. We'll never forget that.
For our parents, we invited them all over and made spaghetti with Prego sauce. We also made sure the salad had baby carrots in it and we kept talking about those two things. They finally got the hint but had to see the pregnancy test to be sure they could trust us practical jokers!
