Hey ladies! I'm asking for your ideas AGAIN! lol... but this time for ways to share with the family about the upcoming baby!.... That's right I'm 24 weeks and NONE of the family knows yet! mind you we live in the same house as my parents lol.. due to medical reasons with my mom I've kept quiet to not add undue stress on her because she goes into momma bear mode when I'm pregnant and I didnt want her overdoing it after her surgery.. She just had a 7lb 3oz cancerous cyst removed along with a full hysterectomy about 2 months ago and is finally being lifted from her restrictions! so i'm kinda at a loss.. lol i've never waited this long to share the news and now that i've kept quiet this long i'm not sure how to go about it hahaha!

 

lol my family is Kinda oblivious so it's really not enough to make them notice! I was still workin on losing some of the baby weight from my youngest also mind you this is with my pulling my shirt tight or you cant tell at all lol

 When we broke the news to my parents I had our son wear a shirt that said " Oops, they did it again" then underneath in smaller letters it said "I'm going to be a big brother" I didn't say anything, just sent him into the room with my parents. It was to funny! My mom kept asking him if it was my SS's shirt, because his mom was pregnant at the time. My son was getting soooo mad! It took her about 5 min to catch on. We got the shirt off of Cafepress. You have 2 kids, so you would have to get 2 shirts maybe....

Congrats!  Wow -- I never made it past 8 or 9 weeks without telling anyone, lol!!  Good luck with however you decide to tell them.  Maybe just start wearing maternity shirts (like really obvious ones like this:

Or maybe this...
