Hey!

I have recently found out I am pregnant and myself and my husband want to surprise our family who are all getting together next month for my Husbands birthday.

We already have a daughter so trying to think of good ideas that we could surprise them with the news?

Right now our top 3 are:

  1. Taking a selfie photo/video saying 123 cheese 123 were pregnant
  2. My husband opening one of his presents and out pops balloons and a baby grow
  3. Putting the news on the birthday cake

Looking to get some other ideas please?

Thanks so much!

My daughter wore a t-shirt saying ‘big sister’ and just let the family read/work it out!! X

Ahh yes you could get a t shirt for your daughter! I'm going to be a big sister. And watch their faces change as they work it out 😂

I saw a video recently of a family who did the 123 I'm pregnant when taking a photo and it was very sweet. So so exciting!

Just say "I'm pregnant!" It's lovely, exciting news already without a silly gimmick.

How old is your daughter? Could she maybe tell herself?

I'd go with the t-shirt idea! Congratulations op Flowers

We told everyone on Valentines day and we had a little photo shoot where my Mum took the pics.
I made us all t.shirts mine said Mummy to be my husband's Daddy to be and my daughter had big sister to be on hers then I got a red balloon and stuck the scan pic on there with Baby...due August 2020 and the post said The new love in our lives 💗
