Re: Telling the grandparents the sex...

Honestly I am probably just going to tell them straight out.
Or ask them for their guesses and see if they were right.
But don't go by me because I'm a werido.
I never was good with or into creative ideas for telling people things, etc...

I still haven't told my parents I'm pregnant yet but I know when I do it's just gonna be blurted out.
Something like...

"So yeah, I'm pregnant.... pass the potatos please!"

I didn't do anything special, because I am OOS so it was just a phone call.

But you could do a cake with the inside pink or with pink icing.

Re: Telling the grandparents the sex...

Well...it worked!!!! I made the cake (chocolate with pink icing in the middle) I iced the outside with white icing then took sprinkles and placed them in a very large question mark on the top!!! It was delish and quite a surprise!!!!
