Help Please! How to tell our parents?
Answer:
I love this type of thing! How about wrapping up a baby outfit and letting them open it for Christmas. maybe have a T-shirt printed for them that says "Greatest Grandma or Grandpa" and let them open that for their Christmas present or an early present if you can't wait to tell them. Or give them a Christmas tree ornament that says greatest grandparents or something to that affect to put on their tree?
During thanksgiving! Say we roasted our turkey in my oven and have them feel. Lol jk! Hope others have better ones
My friend told her parents by buying some booties, tying a note on it that said "Soon to be filled in 9 months" and left it at their door. It was very cute!
My sister found a really cute poem on the internet about grandparents (written from the baby's point of view) and wrapped it in a box and gave it to them on christmas. They had no idea and when they opened it they had 3 daughters to look at to figure out who it came from :) If you can't wait till christmas, you could always give them a gift for a birthday, anniversary, thanksgiving, or a "just because". They will figure out the because soon enough :)
well tell them that you two are adults and you decided to concieve a child and it was your choice and not theirs
wait until thanksgiving and put booties on the turkey lol
Either at Christmas or Thanksgiving give them a gift...a mini photo album that has on the cover grandparent's brag book or something similar (you can find them at baby stores or places like Target). When the open the present there is usually such a look of joy on their faces.
Congrats!
Enjoy the whole pregnancy and parenting experience it is wonderful!
If you've had a sonogram or ultrasound, and have pictures, you could nicely frame copies of them and wrap them as a present to your families. I would suggest a frame with a baby-theme, since they won't necessarily want to display the sonogram or ultrasound, and the frame can be filled with a picture of your new arrival after the birth.
I read this a while ago...
Take them out to eat. But preplan with the restuarant. Make them bring out the drinks WITH the meal. When they bring the food, have them bring over bibs for the grandparents to be and have their drinks in baby bottles lol Should be one wild night!
I saw this on the Discovery channel...
the woman found out she was pregant & wanted to tell her husband in a unique way so she led him on a treasure hunt.
You could do this yourself! For your parents & his, lead them on a treasure hunt through your yard &/or house & have the "treasure" be a bassinet with a babydoll in it or a ultra-sound picture if you have one.
Congrats on your new baby!! Its deffinitely a life changing experience & one I wouldnt take back for the world!
Invite them over for dinner, and when you bring out dessert, make a cake that says your pregnant.
Congratulations!
My husband and I told our families last year on Christmas day that we were expecting. My husband got me a gift certificate for a mother-to-be massage for Christmas. When we got over to my mom's house I said "Look what Rich got me for Christmas!" It took her a few seconds to figure it out, but the look on her face and her reaction was priceless. I'm an only child, so this is her first grandchild and needless to say, she was very excited. We did the same thing later that day over at my husband's parents house.
I LOVE the idea of putting booties on the turkey for Thanksgiving! That would be awesome. My husband and I are trying to figure out how to tell our parents as well. I am 6 weeks pregnant. Every year at the Thanksgiving dinner table we go around the table and each person tells what they are thankful for. This year, my husband and I are going to rig it so that I am the last person to go. When it is my turn, I am going to say that I'm thankful that I'm pregnant!
Have fun! And best wishes for your pregnancy!
With thanksgiving coming buy them a card that says something about grandparents on it so when they open it you can let them know that you are expecting. My neighbours son did this to them and the look on her face was priceless!!!!
Make invitation to Thanksgiving dinner..... grandma and grandpa you are invited.. on the inside you can say This year we are thankful to learn we are having a baby and that we have wonderful parents/ grandparents to share the news with!
We sent my in-laws a "care package" with little diapers, bibs that said "Grandma Loves Me" and that sort of thing. Since my daughter was the first grandchild on that side. For my dad, I sent him a rude card about his little girl being "knocked-up" (I am his only daughter and it was funny, not rude)
Best of luck!! Congrates!
