Hi this is Kendra Spencer from
http://www.shoppingfortwo.com, a website devoted to baby shopping. I’m
back with some cute ways to announce to your family and friends that you’re
pregnant. No matter how you do it, telling your close family and friends is
going to be a memorable and happy occasion hopefully. Of course you can
just come out and tell them but since this may be a once in a lifetime
experience why not make a little effort to make it even more fun and
memorable?
This is a fantastic way to immortalize the moment you announce to your loved
ones that you are going to have a baby – during your family or friends
gathering have everyone come together from a group picture, before you take
the photo instead of yelling everyone say cheese, yell out everyone say
Kendra’s pregnant, take the snapshot at that moment to capture everyone’s
excited and shocked expressions!
At gift giving time you can give your loved ones something to keep on their
dresser by giving them an engraved photo frame. Buy a frame and have it
personalized with your due date month and year on it or put a poem and also
put a poem, picture of your positive pregnancy test or your ultrasound
picture inside. When your baby is born you can send them a baby picture to
replace the old one.
Are you in charge of bringing a dish for the next potluck? Sign up for
dessert and bring cupcakes, cookies or donuts that are frosted with pink and
blue frostings – watch to see who picks up on the subtle hint.
A fantastic way to announce that there will be a new baby in the family is
to give them an updated version of your family tree. There are many great
resources where you can buy or download a family tree. Just leave a blank
space under your and your husbands name and write in pencil your due date.
This would make a perfect gift if you had it framed or for those of you that
have Scrapbooking friends, a scrapbook page would be perfect.
Another way to tell them is at your next dinner party announce your
pregnancy by slipping in a subtle can you please pass the peas I’m eating
for two these days.
Another great way to keep friends and family updated on your pregnancy is to
create an online pregnancy journal. Why not use that way to announce your
pregnancy also. Do a search for free online pregnancy journals and get
started building your site today. Email the site out and wait for the phone
calls to come.
If you play games during family and friend get together try switching out
one of the game pieces to announce your pregnancy. For example, tape a new
note over the community chest cards in Monopoly to read Kendra’s having a
baby, give $10 to each player. Or pull out the write letters from Scrabble
and hide them in your pocket so you can lay down pregnant while you play.
Or instead break out candy land or hungry hungry hippos and tell your guests
that you have to practice now because soon there will be a new player on
game night.
However you decide to break the news that you are pregnant to your loved
ones, have fun, be creative and enjoy the moment!
