How did you tell people?

I'm trying to come up with a cute way to break the news to my parents... I figure I have 4 weeks to come up with something since I plan on telling them after the NT scan...

All I can think of is how Becky told Uncle Jesse on Full House while playing Pictionary... she drew out "cheese half ink a baby" I was thinking of having DH a shirt made up with that on it and see if anyone notices. Other than that I've got nothing...

we mostly told people the normal (read: boring) way but to tell my brother, we handed him a stack of his mail and told him to go thru it and stuck the sono pics in there.

We were pretty boring. I told my parents on Mother's Day; and signed the card my name; DH's name our two dogs and baby. She didn't realize it right away and then started crying!

That is so sweet!!!!

My favorite person I told was my Aunt Pearl. I called her and said "you know how I'm always saying what a great aunt you are?" and she was like... "umm... ok??" "Well, you're going to actually BE a great aunt!!" -- took her a few seconds but I loved it. I did the same thing to my grandfather. My parents I just told. I had to tell everyone on the phone since I moved 500 miles away from them all.

Thanks everyone!! Ang I definitely like the idea with the "big sister" shirt for Jessie!! My parents always call my dogs their "grand-dogs" so that would be perfect.

Sandra I think that would be great for when I call my grandparents who all live down in Florida!!! Thanks for the idea!!
