With me and my husband I had NO CLUE how to tell my dad as he was gonna be the hardest of them all to tell.... I bought a box of a dozen donuts and wrote on the inside ""Eat up, my mommy doesn't wanna be the only one with a belly, Baby DeLeon July 2017"" and I dropped the box off at his work (my brother works with him) he called me crying as he was excited and liked the donuts lol. My mom had already knew as she was the one telling me I was pregnant but I didnt believe her cause my test were saying negative.. But somehow she knew.....lol
My announcement was an eviction notice on my toddlers crib to make room for a new "tenant" it was pretty cute. I took a pic and gave it to my parents. I posted it on social media for extended family.
I gave my son a gift that said "Big Brother 2018" can't say he was thrilled tho :/
We put our daughter in a big sister shirt at a family gathering. When people asked her if she was going to be a big sister. She said yes. She liked the part of telling people.
For my daughter we took her to our appointment and once we heard the heart beat we told her that she was going to be a big sister and a baby was in mommy's tummy. I bought a doppler and heard the heart beat before my appointment so I was comfortable to tell her. Maybe do a game or something with a word search and it could say were expecting for your family. Congrats on your little bundle of joy
What did you do for your other kids? Congrats on the pregnancy!
