How to tell family we're expecting #3

The first time we told them we were pregnant, we just gave them the test. The second time, just came out and told them. This may possibly be our last child. If it's a boy we may consider a longer term birth control but if it's a girl, we most likely will be done. Who knows that could change but anyway... I will be at my second trimester on Christmas Day. They still have no idea that I'm pregnant. It's been hard hiding it. Which makes me feel anxious. lol

We want to tell my mother-in-law and father-in-law around Christmas. Just when I know it's a little safer to tell everyone. I don't know if she'll be happy about it or say she doesn't know how I'm going to do it like she did with my second. My two boys are 2yrs and 14m. We wanted them all close together. We just want to do something nice for her to have at Christmas. I may not get an ultrasound until 20wks. Just depends on how my doctor is feeling when  I go to my appt. I'll ask him if it's possible for me to get one before then. So giving her an ultrasound may be out of the question. Can anyone give me ideas? She's not always the easiest person to deal with when it comes to certain things. Just want to make her feel like we care to make it special for her this time!

That's pretty cute.. I wonder if it'd work out putting my boys in a The Big Bro and Big Bro in Training shirt... :) They usually don't keep coats on for too long though lol

My cousin showed up to Christmas wearing a shirt he made that said"soon to be father" and had a sweater over it. While everyone was opening gifts he took off the sweater and the family freaked (since it was the first for them). I thought it was really cute way lol
