Printed off and framed this picture for our immediate family and gave it to them. Sent it inna text to others. We plan on getting more done farther down the line how did you tell families?
I wrote Big Sister in the sand on our vacation and my MIL walked up and saw it. With DD we told my FIL by writing You're a grandpa on a golfball. For my MIL we snuck into her house and put tons of bue and pink ballons in the kitchen and recorded her coming home from the airport. She freaked out! For dh, I had a sign in the front yard that said Prayer makes all things possible, I had a few fatherhood books, and a teenie tiny onesie that had an H on it. I went all out for our first!!
We're waiting until my bday weekend (first in Oct) to tell our parents. I bought signs that's a grandparent theme and DH's mom is getting a baby carriage pandora charm. To make it fb official, I did this:
My parents live on a small island and my father commutes by boat so we bought an infant life preserver. I can't wait to give it to them and tell them they'll need it next spring! I can't wait to tell them but want to do it in person so we are going to visit in two weeks. We will be almost 8 weeks by then and I want to be able to share all of this with my mother so don't want to wait any longer. So excited!
My husband called my father.... they often talk business and jobs. He told him about a new job he'd taken, with less pay, more hours, but great benefits. My dad sounded entirely confused.
When he said the title was "Father" my Dad sniffled into the phone. I will never forget it! (We were scheduled for IVF so it really came out of nowhere!).
