Coming up on the end of August and September us march mommies will be hitting that 12 week mark!

Husband and i shared the news creatively last time and a week later had a miscarriage (shared news at 7 weeks) this time we are waiting! We have just about 3 weeks until we head home to share the news to the whole family at a little bon fire we are having at the inlaws! Looking for fun but not over the top ways to share the news besides saying "hey we are preggo (again)" still want everyone to be excited! We sure are!!
How are you planning to share or how did you share in a large group??!??? ;)

    My DH and I went on vacations and my parents were taking care of our cats at their home while we were gone. We wanted to buy them a little souvenir (a keychain or something) that said ''grandparents'' or something, but didn't find anything interesting in the town we were staying. It turned out there was a Crock a doodle pottery studio in the town... So we painted our own frame and wrote ''My grandparents and I'', and I sliped in the frame a little note saying ''picture coming in March 22th''. We gave it to my parents when we came back home... My mom and screaming and my dad was so emotional! It was great! :)

    We will probably announce the pregnancy just at a dinner or something for my extented family. This is what we did too with DH's family.

    Planning to do something for my grandparents since it'll be their first great grandchild.

    Otherwise I'm not sure yet...I have a huge family and am close with them. We have a family wedding in late September so it may wait until then. I just don't want family to find out from others-we live in a small town.

    We are going on vacation with my family end of August. We are either going to put a t shirt on ds that says big brother to be or have him give the us pic to my mom when everyone is around.

    Telling everyone face to face that I can! At work I will probably do pink and blue cupcakes (we love treats at work!) And for my dad and extended family I won't get to tell in perso we did these pics last week! Not gonna lie...it seemed more exciting with the first plus I don't feel so great but I know everyone has been waiting for it!

    My girlfriend had a family reunion and had the photographer (a cousin) have everyone day "cheese" then "so and so is pregnant" and they repeated it. Thought that was kinda cute..and they caught everyone's reaction!

    My dad and sister are coming down to visit us this weekend (fri to sat) then Sunday My grandma and mom (my mom knows but gma has a big mouth!) And I just started a new awesome phase of throwing up as of today on top of nausea so.... It could be interesting explaining my misery and trying to wait to spill the beans until aug 24! So no one can know! I would be ok with my dad and sister but my step mom is known to be the gossip queen!!! Idk if my sister can keep a secret for 2 weeks. she is only 9!
    I saw a post on a website they couple wore shirts I am and I'm not seems simple enough.

    With DD we gave my parents a bunch of baby books for Christmas with a card that said "merry Christmas Grandma & Pap please read these to me in August". My mom gave the gift back to us and was like "umm wrong people". She was all annoyed until my dad figured it out. Lol!!! ETA: this time we will put a "big sister" shirt on DD and see who notices. :)

    Both of my parents' birthdays fall around my 10-12 week mark so I'm going to tie it in with their birthday presents or birthday cake somehow? Not sure! Anyone have any clever ideas??

    The onesie idea is always cute and easy to understand lol;) have them open them at the same time getting grandma a I love grandma one and then a grandpa related one... Or even shirts for them #1 grandma so they can show them off to everyone if its the 1st grand baby everyone will ask them about it!

    We didn't do anything special. We just went for dinner and said "B's gonna be a big brother" I may have done something more, but I have not had the energy to plan anything.

    Yah I want simple but not "too" simple where people won't get excited! We are super excited!!! Just nervous of course because of miscarriage in January! Thanks for the idea

    We gave my parents and my in-laws both this picture - the moms screamed. My 68 year old FIL wasn't quite sure and it took him a while to catch on....
