creative ideas needed to announce preg to family

[waitn838]

so my bf and i decided to announce my preg to my family on st patricks day...by then i will be 12 weeks and so far things have been progressing nice (very thankful for that)...so now its time to tell the family

i am currently living in NC and my family is in PA...im trying to think of a creative way to tell my family about my preg

does anybody have any suggestions?  I'm thinking something with a shamrock and u/s pic??? but i dont know...i just want to make it creative and either mail it or email it

When I was pregnant with my last one, I got one of those small calendars where you can insert pictures for each month.  I wrote the birthdays of all my kids, me, dh, etc and put a picture that corresponded to whoevers birthday or holiday was in that month.  For the month that I was due I put my most recent ultrasound picture and on the due date wrote "Baby #5: Boy or Girl??" and sent it to my mom!!!

You could find a shamrock or St. Patty's day frame and mail the framed ultrasound pic.  You could also buy some St. Patty's day baby things (like a bib, socks, etc) - I always see stuff like this in Target - and mail them to your family along with a "I love grandma, etc" bib or onesie.  
Good luck

I like the idea about the slide show on the computer... you can personalize it anyway that you want! I kinda wish that I had waited to tell dh and my parents but since we had been trying so long when I found out I immediately told my mom but waited a few weeks to tell dh's. It really wasn't a shocker for anyone lol. I know you will find the most perfect way to tell both sets of soon to be grand parents!
