hello mamas
I’m really a lurker here, I’m not due until first week of August but they don’t have an August group yet.
i have my first doctors appointment the 13th, where I will get a scan. (I’m 5 weeks, so I’ll be almost 7 when I go in)
We are telling our families on Christmas Day
we are going to wrap either the u/s picture or onsie or shoes or something to tell them!
what do you think would be the best thing to wrap to tell them?!?
Re: Christmas announcement idea
Good luck with your announcement! I'd love to hear how it goes!
Anyone else doing a Christmas announcement? What are you doing?

Still not exactly sure if that's what I want to do. Do I need a better line?
One amazing Aunt
Two kinds of 'T'
Auntie + Nephew + (flip over)
Back will have a pic of the sono and says New Nibling makes Three!

Rant: DH says he wants to tell his mother in a conversation by himself. I'm kind of POd because I want to be a part of it too and hear first hand her reaction and joy. They don't have the best relationship so I think that is playing a part, but I still think it should be us as a couple telling her. Is that selfish of me?
I am now torn... was gonna have my son wear a Big bro t-shirt and just let people figure it out. But I’m not wholly sure I’m ready for him to know? I guess we might as well rip the bandaid off at the same time. He’s just gonna ask SO MANY QUESTIONS.
For our parents, we went a little crazy when Toys R Us went out of business last summer and bought crib, car seat, multiple bases, and strollers. Parents all know we did this and we’ve been storing them at my MIL’s. We are going to wrap 2 of the bases and have parents open those last when we celebrate Christmas with each side. I can’t wait to let the secret out!
Not sure if I've helped, but hopefully my thoughts help you figure out if it's worth addressing with him.

As a sidenote, we definitely want my daughter a part of our social media announcement after the first trimester.
We'll do social media announcement after our next u/s on Jan. 2nd
so we will wrap a new t-shirt that says Big bro and a book as a special early present. Then, have him wear the shirt around at Christmas!
