We sent flowers to mil with a note that said "#4" (it'll be her fourth grandchild). She tossed the note without reading it and had to dig it out of the trash when we called that evening, lol. It still took her a minute to get it, but then she started crying. (ETA in a happy way!)
We joked that if she still hadn't gotten it, we would send her a rabbit from d'artagnon with a note saying "We killed the rabbit!" (My late fil was a huge hunter, so this wouldn't be that weird to her, lol.)
I'll probably just call my dad - he travels a lot, so I never know where he'll be...
we had all the parents over. My H organized everyone for a picture. Just before he took the picture he said "everybody say - hanna's pregnant" really funny pictures - my H took 2-3 in a row. You can see the different people taking longer to get it.
We did this too. Hilarious, and then really emotional because his family was soooooo happy and freaking out.
Group one - we were on a ski vacation. mH and I made a huge dinner and we sat down to toast. H toasted to everyone and then said something like "Cheers to adding an extra seat to the table next year - baby S is due in Oct."
Group two: I got cake pops that spelled "Due in October" and presented them to everyone.
Group three: It was my Dad's birthday. We gave him a frame that said "Baby S - due 10/10/12 with an ultrasound picture.
