Ok, so my husband and I have not been actively "trying" for baby #2 but more leaving it to chance. Just wondering if anyone has a cute story of how you told your spouse/or you were told about a new arrival. :drinker:

    I read somewhere that at a family gathering when everyone takes a group photo together instead of saying "cheese" Make everyone say "(your name) is pregnant/having a baby/knocked up,ect." which ever you find works the best.
    I thought it was cute.

    Oh that idea is also awesome because it gets everyones reactions on photograph and it would be awesome to but that in the babybook!

    My wife and I got our oldest daughter (who was like 18months at the time) a tee-shirt that said "I am going to be a big sister" and then went to a family gathering. It took half the day for someone to figure it out. Was pretty funny.

    This wasn't so great, but it was funny... My brother (#3 of 5) was feeling NO pain on his birthday during a family get together. He loudly announced (pointing at me) that I was going to be an uncle again. Everyone started laughing and calling him an idiot. He was very confused, and insisted that I was going to be an uncle again because his wife was pregnant with #2. I looked at him and stated that I would never be an uncle.... it took nearly 10 minutes of explanations for him to understand that I was a female, sister and an AUNT. The rest of the family has never let him forget it!

    My nephew wore a shirt that said "Big Brother" to Thanksgiving last year. SIL is due in June.

    you could take a mini vacation to Michigan (where i live)... and do a photo shoot (at our photo studio)... with picture of the little man holding a sonogram... or do a chalkboard 3-step pic (ive seen really cute versions on pinterest)... and then I could design you a kick-ars announcement that you can mail out to everyone... :D

    just sayin.

    my ex and i and carried my firstborn son over to my inlaws house, and my ex said, "the 4 of us just stopped by to say hi",

    also, we were going to my other inlaws for mother's day and i made my son a t-shirt that said "big brother november 2002"....the only problem with that was that they lived about 2 hours away from us, and being pregnant i really had to go pee by the time we got there. but my mother in law did not understand the meaning of the t-shirt, even tho it was obvious to everybody else.......i stood there cross legged holding my son for what seemed like forever until i could not stand it anymore and then i excused myself and went to the bathroom...they told her when i was gone....she is a little dense lol

    Am I reading this wrong, or did all of these answer a different question than you asked?

    How I told my spouse was an email :laugh:
    He leaves for work so early in the morning that he wasn't home when I took the test. I believe the email went something like...


    "OMG I TOOK A TEST AND IT WAS POSITIVE OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!"

    Then when we announced it to the family when I had my first sonogram. "Want to see a picture of our kid?"
