What would be a nice way to announce our 3rd pregnancy to family?
"After one month of trying I became pregnant and had a beautiful healthy boy!"
"After over 7 years of trying to conceive and thousands of dollars spent on infertility treatments, I had actually succeeded to get pregnant the natural way without any drugs or medical intervention "
" I just wanted to say thank you for writing this program and for giving hope to women at my age. I am 46 and I am finally going to be a mother."

I am 4w2d pregnant and will be telling the family soon [in about 2-4 weeks] and just wondering what some good ideas would be? I already did the first child wearing a shirt announcing my pregnancy with my second child so I don’t want to do that again. I also thought of having my other children "spill the beans" while we were visiting but I’m not sure if my kids will cooperate [you know kids get when you want them to do something!]
Any ideas?
How did you tell your family?
my family lives locally and was there when I took my tests. But the family I have out of state I sent them all cards, I waited until I had my first ultrasound and I made magnates out of the pictures with the due date and mailed them out. For my kids and my in-laws, I bought a cake made to look like a baby carriage and after dinner one night I presented it and asked "anyone what dessert" The cake said "new baby"
But for my new baby it was very different I found out I was pregnant with him when I was entering my third trimester so it was more of a panicked phone call to the biggest loud mouth in my family. (everyone found out with in 30 mins it turned out to be a pretty good system)
With my third, my mom called me to ask if I would send her the Christmas stocking she had made for my oldest child. She wanted to make a copy of it for my second child. I told her that while she was at it, she should just make up an extra one. She got really excited.

I like your ideas
For our second, we had our son hold a picture frame that held a sign that said "I’m going to be a big brother!" Then, we posted it on our blog and just let people find out the good news when they clicked on our blog page. Of course, that was only for a second child… a third might require more creativity!
What if you did something with nursery rhymes that included threes? Three blind mice? LOL
I’m interested in hearing about people’s ideas now!
Tell them that you are going to be redecorating a bedroom in the house & tell them you need their opinions on the paint colors you have chosen. Then tell them the 2 colors are pink & blue. See if they get it. On this one (my 3rd) for my in-laws. I brought a gift to them while we were at their house one night. When they opened it up it was a jar of prego spaghetti sauce. LOL It took them a minute. They actually thought I got them food for a gift. With my 1st. I had my parents over for dinner. For the desert I made a cake then decorated it with baby items. Pacifier, booties & such & wrote GUESS WHAT? on it
