I need a good creative idea to announce pregnancy

[SweetPeasMom2]

What about getting everyone together for a group photo (you guys included). Then set the timer on the camera. Say "say cheese on the count of 4". Then on the count of 3, you and dh say "We're pregnant". Then you've told everyone and you get their reaction on camera.

Love this!

For #3 I had my daughter call my mom and MIL and break the news that she was going to be a big sister again.

With my mom, this was because she too is one of those who is not happy about more than 1, maybe 2 kids. My MIL, well, she has 4 kids, so it was just for the symmetry of doing the same for both grandparents. Then we emailed everyone the ultrasound photo. Funny thing there is that my MIL did not catch my daughter telling her about the baby. Not sure how, but she missed it. So my BIL got the email first, then called SILs and MIL/FIL and they were all in shock!

It's likely our last baby so in the email to my mom I said "First photo of your last grandchild". Her response was "Why, am I dying?" Exactly why I didn't tell her verbally myself. In her defense, she knew I wanted 4 kids, but with the intense morning sickness, a preterm #2, weekly shots to prevent preterm #3, I think this is it for me.


But to tell them it was a girl, that was a little more fun. My daughter has been dying for a little sister for years (or so she thinks... ) so again I let her have the honors. We baked strawberry cupcakes and iced them pink and made shirts that said "I'm going to be the big sister to a little sister" (and big brother for my son), also written in pink. We waited till we saw each set of grandparents in person then had the kids serve the cupcakes to them while wearing the shirts.

I bet you would get some excellent facial expressions on that picture. Good luck!

Every year I do a calendar for my family members and in-laws. They are super easy to make and turn out GREAT. I use Shutterfly but I know you can do them at multiple different photo websites. They cost like $20 each and get cheaper for each one after the first. So the more you buy the cheaper . You can also add your own birthdays and special dates *cough* baby's due date *cough*

It would be fun to do each month with a baby picture and current picture of significant people in the family (which would be great if you had 11 currently+baby=12 but probably unlikely ) Then for the month that you are due you could put the ultrasound picture along with the due date.

Then they can open it, be surprised, and utilize (and cherish) it all year long. My parents love theirs from the previous years (and I'm sure would love it even more if there was a due date in it...which there will not be, heh)

Good Luck and let us know what you decide
Oh, and by the way... CONGRATZ!!!
