We're finding out the 27th and we want to come up with a cute way to tell our parents that evening. Any ideas?

    My DH and I actually had shirts made up that said ITS A BOY!! And we wore them under zip-up jackets. We ran in to our mother's homes and unzipped for them. I thought it was cute.

    Oh but my MIL didn't want to know so I thought about putting It's A Boy confetti in her mailbox.

    We didn't do anything cutesy to announce the gender. My mom was with us at the big u/s, so there was no announcing needed. His parents and my dad we just called and told them they were getting a grandson. They were so thrilled that they didn't care we didn't plan anything big.

    Yay for Firemen's wives having boys. ;)

    Butting in - I think the best technique I've heard so far is to have a cake made with either blue or pink frosting layered in the middle.  On top of the cake (which is covered in white icing) you can put possible names, such as "Mason or Madison?" or another cute saying....

    Have your IL's/Parents cut the cake to reveal pink or blue!

    One of my friends put in in her grandfathers birthday card he read it aloud It said something like we know what the sex of the baby is hint: you will be seeing me on the football field.....maybe one day cheering for my little brother. ?So at first everyone stops and said ohhh it's a boy yeh and then he kept reading and figured out it was a girl. ?I thought that was kinda cute

    We're planning on purchasing custom M&Ms.  If everything goes as planned, we'll drop off the candy at night on the 13th of February.  It'll be a nice little surprise in the morning!

    Things I did different with this pregnancy:
    1. Waited TTC until after I had 3 normal menstrual cycles.
    2. Got a new OB - amazing man who listened!
    3. 200 mg progesterone until 12 weeks
    4. Daily lovenox injections
