Moms & future Moms, how did you announce your pregnancy?

I do not have children. But the way my friend told our other friend (we are "aunts" to each others kids) was by email. She wrote it like it was the baby talking. Saying he/she can't wait to meet her Aunt, Uncle and Cousins.
Even though they live in the same town and saw each other all the time she sent an email. I thought it was very creative.

I also like the personalized T-shirt idea too.

Well I am sure you & hubby will do a fine job of telling.. Just make sure they all dont sling you around too much & hugg you to death..

With my first pregnancy We called our parents and sisters. We emailed/ instant messaged our friends. Nothing too exciting.

With my second pregnancy (ended with a miscarriage) we gave both sets of parents a baby picture frame with "Coming Summer 2009" written where the picture would go. We gave it to them for Christmas. It was a big hit.

My best friend was given a copy of the ultrasound, wrapped up with a huge bow (from her daughter). After it took a second to register, all the family went nuts!

We weren't very creative, I'm afraid. We just called our parents and sisters and told them. Oh, and with my 2nd pregnancy, we put a picture of our (then) youngest daughter wearing one of her sister's "I'm the big sister" shirts on our blog. This was more for friends, though. The family already knew at that point.

For both of my best friend's pregnancies, I took one look at her and knew (she's not that good at keeping secrets LOL).

For my BF's sister, the first time they told his parents by using A&W Grandpa and Mama burgers like the TV commercial. They told my BF during a family dinner, very casually, like "well how do you feel about being an uncle in September?" For her 2nd, we came over to dinner and their daughter was wearing a shirt that said "I'm the BIG sister" and I was like "WHHAATT??" so that's how we knew

Nope, we didn't do anything very creative because we were in shock. We had tried for 7 years, been diagnosed infertile, and nobody was expecting this. I had had to cancel plans with good friends because I was so sick, and ended up in the ER that night (where they did a blood test and told us we were pregnant ) So, the next night, our friends called to check on me and make sure I was better, and I told her what we had found out. She was standing in a room full of all of our friends, and she was so excited that she was like "WHAT? YOU ARE PREGNANT???!???" into the phone, so of course, all of our other friends knew right away, too, and the news spread like wildfire all through our church. I was OK with it though, because I had a baby on the way.....and how cool was that?
