Ideas to announce 3rd pregnancy to parents

Didnt know where i should put this topic, so thought i would try here:)

I am not announcing until i have gone to doctors and checked everything out as much as you can.

But i am trying to come up with a novel way to tell my Mum?

Still feel bad about how she found out about my pregnancy with Mason, i kind of said i might have news and she got excited and then i said well dont get excited because i had a scan and it doesnt look good. So yeah if everything turns out ok then i would like to do it better this time.

I was hoping maybe someone had a brain teaser or something novel that i could post to her, thinking of something clever that she has to think about to work it out, really dont want to do the usual card or phone call.

Any ideas appreciated


Thanks
Belinda

i found these the other day and im going to use them as a "play on words" for my mum

go to ebay and type in "foetal"

they come up with a card to announce pregnancy but in the link there are funny witty ways with pics.

i love em

or you could write out an invitatuion, addressing it to a BIRTHday on the approx date at the hosp. she will eb confused for a bit, hehe

hth

Thanks Danni will check it out:)

thats awesome em!!!! =D>

Thanks Emma you have some great ideas.

I do have video camera so will consider that one.

They are not technology savvy so that one is out.

I also come up with the find a word and remaining letters spell the words out, but i am hopeless at making them, i might try.

Guess i could put the hidden words in first then make the find a word around it and maybe make it baby related words.

Great ideas thanks:)

if i ever fall pregnant again i was going to take a photo of eliana with a white tshirt on then on the computer write on it "im going to be a big sister" & then mail it to everyone - you could do the same with fabric paint if you wanted to announce it in person

Melissa thats a clever idea, i already have a I'm a big brother tshirt i made for Luke.

Thanks
Belinda

Well i found some sites that you can make your own puzzles.

Have made a crossword that after they have finished will say

You are going to be grandparents again in October 2006 (in words)

My clues for some words are crap though lol, so if i send it hope they get it:)

Thanks again for all the great ideas, hopefully someone else can use them when it comes time for their announcments:)

I had 2 shirts made for my boys, one for Glenn,"I'm gonna be a big brother" & one for Evan, "I'm gonna be an even BIGGER big brother". they wore them the day my PIL's came down to visit. Glenn was asleep at the time the arrived so it didn't go as well I as thought. I had to tell them to think about it, it has meaning. "oh your pregnant?" der!

Oh yay, you just gave me the t-shirt idea. I am going to do that one. Maybe for a month's time though.
I love the crossword idea though I will send it up to my sister and brother in Queensland!

Thanks girls!

I had thought of the t-shirt idea as well :)

This is my first, and I think we'll just show our parents the first scan :p
They might not believe us otherwise!

Congrats to u :)

I was visiting my mum and during the usual chatter about everything I said "Guess who's PG?" To which she replied "You are, aren't you!"
No surprising her!

Doesnt seem so, how spooky though:)

ok update on how the puzzle idea went.

Well i visited parents over weekend, so i left puzzle on her computer desk, half hidden. Ring her when i get home and said did you see something on your desk, anyways tell her where it is.
So i sit back and wait for the call, nothing!
So hours later i email her and said did you do puzzle, she said no i havent yet,ggrrrr, so i send one back going "Do the damn puzzle"!
Still nothing lol

Note to self: Dont give your parents a puzzle on paper when you have just set them up on the internet lol

They are too busy playing pinball on the computer to do the puzzle lol

Anyways maybe they will do it tommorow, i am not giving in and telling them! Then i can say well you would of known earlier if you had just done the damn puzzle ! :)

oh god that suspense would kill me! ring her and tell her do it now!!

oh god that suspense would kill me! ring her and tell her do it now!!

Ok i asked her this morning did you do that puzzle, she said 'yeah i started it but got stuck on a clue, what friggin clue, they were so easy!'

So i will ring her later and see if she has finished it lol

I was kinda frustrated last night about it, but today i am just amused. I thought my parents were cluey people, ummm maybe not! :)

Anyways i will post again when they finally work it out

If ever:)

Ok i rang her again and she said what clue she was stuck on.
Turns out my Dad had said dont fill it out, so he could do it, so she was just remembering the answers instead of filling it out!

Anyways i said it will tell you some news, straight away she said your having another baby, finally lol

She laughed when she realised.

She said why didnt you tell me when you were here, i said well i thought i would do something original, but that sucked didnt it!


Anyways she knows now :)

Thanks again for all the ideas

party pooper!!!

HA HA Belinda, your mum sounds like mine!
I have been dropping hints left right and centre and she's like 'that's nice dear' and then keeps talking about whatever, like will I finish uni this year and will I be working at Christmas, and then it's my turn to be vague since my husband told me not to be too obvious :lol:
Come announcement time, I know one mum who will be flabbergasted! It's just too funny...

Yeah its like get it would you :)
