After having had early m/c's we chose to wait and told everyone when i was at the half way mark of the pregnancy ... also it was just before Xmas which gave everyone an early Xmas Gift ... I told my folks on Xmas Day by handing them an ultrasound pic of the bub & saying " Merry Xmas " to make it an extra special Xmas for them, my Mum was so beside herself with happiness & shock that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry ... as for Dad he couldn't stop grinning all day and already came up with a nickname that day for his grandchild
