How to tell the family?

[buffy1]

We had some pictures of our 12 week scan on my phone. At a family dinner we said we wanted to show them images of our new 'baby', the reverse cycle air con (!).

So they were flicking through and DH was giving a running commentary. They got to the scan, DH casually says "and there's our actual baby"...cue stunned silence, and then squealing. I burst into tears of course

Good luck with that BFP Tashie! Telling the people you love is almost as exciting as finding out yourself (almost).

With number two, we invited my parents & the PILs out for dinner & put DS in a TShirt saying "big brother", with the idea of waiting for someone to notice. Unfortunately no-one did. Even when I said, "hey what do you think of DS's T-Shirt?". LOL! Most observant family ever.

haha, exactly the same thing happened to us. Silly grandparents, rofl.

We put DD in a shirt that said "I'm going to be a BIG SISTER" and she wore it around to my parents house on Christmas Morning. It was great.

I told a friend accidently - we went out to celebrate her recent engagement and she was flicking through photo's on my phone and came across one of my positive HPT! Oops! I had meant to take it off my ph before I caught up with her as I had wanted our catch up to be about her!

My Dad told our extended family in his speech at a family function for my Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. It was cute because he and my grandparents were so proud and excited...but again, I had wanted the event to be about them - not us!
