Didn't want to tell yet, but had major breakout on my face and headache called my mom about my skin she told me to take something(cant remember the name) I paused and said can I take that while pregnant and she started screaming I KNEW IT , I KNEW YOU WERE PREGNANT, I SAID LOL. I tried to tell my sis she said yea right, but when mom called her with news she blew my phone up. My aunt said shes known for months just watching my mood when she came to visit once, We told my grandmother someone new would be here in a few months . and the rest of the family got word of mouth SO NOTHING SPECIAL
We just told them, well, my Hubby did. LOL
You could have your kids were 'I'm the Big Sister/Brother' shirts. No one would think anything of your first two having a shirt but when they notice your youngest is wearing one, it'd make them pause.
OR
You could send out Save the Date cards with your due date.
With my son I wrote my mom a letter & put it in her work bag, she read it the next day when she got to work & called me.
With my daughter my sister & my cousin kept telling me I was, they told my aunt & my aunt made me pee on a stick in front of her & then they told my mom.
This baby, I was hoping to have an ultrasound of the baby before my graduation day( August 31) Im 13 weeks 4days now & If i had one We were going to go out to eat afterwards(me, my mom , my boyfriend, his mom & my aunt) I was going to put a copy of the ultrasound pics in an envelope & give them all one with Surprise on the front & let them find out that way....Hopefully it'll work.
I was planning on waiting to show my family an ultrasound, but my mom ended up having a fight with my dad, so she came over in the middle of the night and when I woke up the next morning, she had slept on my couch. Well I was caught off guard and she saw my baby books and my day planner with my dr appt scheduled. She figured it out lol.
I made DD a "big sis" t-shirt and she wore it when we visited my family and DH's family visited us. Most of the family caught on right away, but my dad assumed the shirt was a hand-me-down from a friend (since so many of DD's clothes are), so we still had to tell him, "No, we're definitely passed the stage of thinking about having a second kid."
