Whether you just discovered you are pregnant or you have known for a few months, announcing your pregnancy to family and friends can be a lot of fun. Some may prefer to hold until a sure time on their pregnancy, while others prefer to call everybody immediately after discovering themselves.

Telling The Father
Get a romantic dinner for two with candle lights, it may be your last time for a while, between morning sickness and raising your little one. Serve up baby carrots, baby back ribbands anything else you are able to imagine as baby. At the end, pour apple juice instead of wine and hand him a present. Inside you are able to have a tiny baby bib that says, “I heart My Daddy”
or a pair of baby booties.

If you can not tell the father at once as he is away on business, or deployed try sending him a care package. Inside the box put some baby items, everything in blue and pink and a baby naming book in the middle. Put a note on top of the book with, “I need a name soon, I will be here by June.” Or whenever the baby is due.

You are able to also see how long it takes him to figure it out. Go to the dollar store and pick up a bunch of little baby items, a bib, rattle, bottle, booties, etc. For a week, leave an item putting down around the house wherever he is bound to detect them. At the end of the week if he has not figured it out yet, prepare the big gift. Get a big teddy bear sitting at the dinner table in the seat beside him, make certain there’s a bib wrapped around him and maybe a sign that says Hi Daddy.

Telling Family and Friends
Show to a family gathering wearing a shirt that announces your state. These days there are a ton of shirts out there with clever expressions, “Baby on Board,” “A Bun in the Oven,” or something associated the pregnancy. The moment you walk in or take off your jacket everybody will figure it out without you ever having to tell a word. Now, get ready for the tears and excitement. You will be replying a ton of questions.

If you already have children you may prefer to call the grandparents up and tell them that the next Christmas they may want to add one more to the list.

If this is the first grandchild, you may want to get a bracelet link for your mom that reads, “#1 Grandma” or grandparent t-shirts. This won’t only be a great present for them but something they’ll cherish and love forever.

No matter when you spread the news it can be a lot of fun, just think creative and let the pieces fall. You may even prefer to try catching all of it on video, so think ahead and prepare for the BIG moment, and I’m not meaning the birth.
