Original Ways to Tell Family & Friends That You're Expecting

I made a sign on the computer then printed it out and had N color on it. It said "I'm going to be a big sister" and had a family of 4 elephants on it. We had her give it to my parents as if it was just a normal picture she'd colored and wanted them to see.

I also made a big sister T-shirt for N that we gave her the day we told her she was getting a baby brother (or sister). Even though we found out the sex at the u/s, we still gave her both options just in case!! LOL

My BF posted a cartoon on her blog showing a family walking into a hospital and coming out with a baby. Actually, the problem with her cartoon was that it showed the mother coming out with TWO babies. I thought she was announcing twins! But no, it's just one baby.

A suprise party would be cool, for whatever family member/s you wanted to tell. Or heck, it could be whole family you suprise at once. Have a baby theme, and ask family to meet at such and such time/place for a family reunion/get together. You could even sucker them into making dishes for the event. If you really wanted to suprise a certain few family members you could ask them to come at a later time than the rest of the family so everyone could be in on yelling Congratulations.

I think another fun way to break the happy news will be to start making a timeline of your baby bump! They might not notice anything at the first picture or two, just keep updating it and soon they will be able to tell!
