What creative ways are you guys telling your family that you are pregnant ? I just bought a onesie on Etsy that says ,"'my aunt and uncle made me a big cousin!" For my six month old niece to wear when we tell my parents my sister already knows. But, we can't figure out how to tell my MIL. Any ideas ?

Mother's Day is this weekend. Buy her a grandmother card?

We were so surprise we blurted it out to our family very soon after.

For my first we bought the in-laws a card from the baby. They loved it.

I bought my mother & MIL "grandma" mother's day cards and put the first ultrasound pic in a frame that also contains a sentimental poem about grandparents

We got a gift bag, bought her some things she wanted, then under the tissue paper we have a pair of baby booties for her to open!

My husband and I bought a pink onesie and a blue onesie, then went to visit my parents. Somewhere in the midst of the chatter I told them I had an important fashion question. Then I pulled the onesies out of my purse and said "Which of these do you think I'll need in December?"

Commence the screaming. It was very odd, but fun. :P

ETA: I don't think we're going to tell my MIL. My husband has estranged himself from his family on purpose, and doesn't want her involved in our child's life at all. I think it's odd, but it's his family and his choice.

My mum was in the hospital so when we visited we gave her a card. She thought it was going to be a get well soon card but it said "congratulations on becoming grandparents". They were both totally shocked and over the moon.

I had to tell my parents early on because of a trip I was supposed to take with them that I couldn't - sickness and exhaustion. We told his parents last night after the ultrasound came out good. DH handed his mom the ultrasound picture and I said "Merry Christmas!" I've told a few friends by telling them we're getting a baby for Christmas. That's probably how I'll spin it for most of them - some sort of "Merry Christmas" thing!

The hubs and I put a bun (a real, bread one) in our real actual oven and then sat on either side and took a picture. We also had a sign taped to the oven that said, "Baking Until 12/3/13!"

We handed that picture to our different family members to tell them. It took my grandma wayyyy too long to get it. lol. But everyone else caught on very quickly.

My husband is from the UK and to tell his sister, he took a picture of he and his niece and photoshopped a speech bubble with her saying, "Uncle, can I get a cousin for Christmas?" Then his speech bubble said, "Sure! We'll have one ready by Christmas!" My SIL loved it. We had her open it during a Skype session and her reaction was priceless!
