cool ways to announce pregnancy

Hi there
I would love to hear about all the cool ways you have told your husband or family that you are pregnant! I would love to steal some of your ideas for when my time comes! thanks!

We were on holiday in NZ at my best friend's place and I told her that if AF didn't arrive on the morning we were going to leave then she can test my wee haha. So she hid in the bathroom for the WHOLE 5 mins before coming out. She got DH and I to sit down and gave us a lecture about how babies get made when they're ready etc. Then told us we had 2 lines. Best way to find out EVER! I don't know how she managed to contain herself for the whole 5 mins.

Then on the long flight home we kept asking DD "what did mummy and daddy make in New Zealand?" and taught her to say "a baby!" and that was how we told my parents.

Told a few close friends through facebook PM, then the big announcement with a scan pic on FB after 12 weeks.

When we found out we were pregnant with our first, we were living in NZ, dad was in Perth and mum was in nz. Dad was planning to surprise mum by coming home early. SO after all that excitement calmed down I gave mum a card apologising for all the fibs we had to tell her over the last week, including the one where she said I looked washed out and I told her I had AF again (we'd been TTC for a while). Then I showed them a positive pregnancy test.

Not in any way original... but this is how we did it for #2

We wrote a letter to his parents asking that they start build the rocking horse that they had always talked about. But it took soo friggin long that we ended up ringing them. We asked my parents around (they live in the same town) and told them. Mum had already figured it out. Siblings were told over the phone, my sister couldn't figure out why we were asking her if she was ready to be an Aunt... Lol. Love the idea of the shirt for #2.... must note that down for next time

It's just a Farmers cheapie that I got printed at a place at the mall

Only thing we did a little different was at Xmas time, I had one of the girls on OB create two onesies for me one with I "heart" Nana and I "heart" Grandad on them, wrapped them up and gave them on Xmas day. They both opened them and took a minute before realising we were telling them we were were having a baby!! It was pretty cool. Oh and it was my parents we were giving them to.

We had been overseas on holiday, and had missed MIL's 50th bday. (by about a week). So when we got back, and got our bfp, we went up to there house for dinner, for the missed bday. And got her a bday card, that said happy birthday grandma. hehe. It took her a few minuets to click.
I plan to do the t-shirt thing for #2 Too cute!!!

haha,lets see,with my first I did a test at Botany,dark red lines,through the test in the bin and went with my bestmate to get coffee,wondering how I could possibly tell my parents that their 19 year old daughter was pregnant to a guy she'd been with for about 2months.

With Ty I was on the Two week wait thread and they suggested I do a test,nothing came up straight away,then a couple of minutes later there was a faint line,I rang my mother to come up and see the test and I asked her if she could see the line and she pointed at the control line and said "you mean this one?"
I text DH,he was most impressed (erm,not)

And Mila I did a test at Botany and Babykatz was the first one to see it haha,but cos I had PROMISED Dh that I would tell him first next time,I had to pretend when he got home that I "thought" I might be pregnant and showed him the test I had done pretending id only JUST done it.
That lie didn't last long,I ended up telling him at Botany one day when we were in the same toilets,he just thought it was funny.

So really unoriginal ways I must say.

Oh and if anyone is familiar with botany,I did the test with C at the toilets that are near Pagani,and the test with Mila in the parents room,not the one near the foodcourt,the other one...so if you are ever in those toilets you can think "Kelly peed here"

Heck, how did you manage that?? I woke DH up at 3am when I found out about Jacob (he was excited... once he worked out what I was saying ). This second one was a little more of a surprise, because although we weren't preventing anything happening, we weren't 'trying' either (as in 'oh, did we actually BD recently' not trying!). I tested just before I was going to meet him for lunch anyway, and I forget what I said but it was something pretty stunned and unoriginal.

With DS1 had been to the doc's for a check up and to discuss possibly going on fertility drugs, told her i was feeling unwell e.t.c did a preg. test just in case. So suprised it was positive. DH was waiting for me outside. I walked out crying and handed him the bounty pack which says "pregnancy" on the front. He cried.
Told family shortly afterwards.

DS2 Told Dh he's gonna be a dad again.But i wasn't convinced so did 5 more tests and bloods just to be sure! Told family at a family lunch, there were cheeses e.t.c on teh table said "ohh yum but i can't eat that". Everyone knew right away.

With number 3 i think i'll do a t shirt for the boys to wear such a cute idea.
