excited about mother's day

[tinselcat]

Although it's still early days, I'm gonna tell my parents the happy news tomorrow and oh will do likewise with his (elsewhere in the country)

Anyone else planning to make announcements tomorrow?

Got any tips about how to break the news?

Xx

What a lovely idea hun!!

We're waiting for a while longer (until after early scan, maybe untill 8w?)

I am sure all of your folks will be over the moon

Even though I'm really really early on I am going to tell my Mum and her partner tomorrow, going to wait a bit longer to tell my Dad who I don't see much as he still lives in England (where I was born) and OH isn't going to be telling his parents until 12 weeks or later.

I'm giving her a card with this poem in it I found:

I do not have a face to see
Or put inside a frame
I do not have soft cheeks to kiss
I don't yet have a name
You can't yet hold my tiny hands
Nor whisper in my ear
Its still too soon to sing a song
Or cuddle me so near
But all will change come November 25th
That's when they say I'm due
I'm your new grandson or granddaughter
I can't wait to meet you!
All I ask between now and then
is your patience while I grow
I promise I'll be worth the wait
Because of all the love we'll know
So what I have to give you now
is a wish to you from me
I cannot wait to be a part of this wonderful family

I gave the same poem to my OH when I told him but I changed the words around to suit it and changed the last line to a part of this brand new family.

Aww chloe that's lovely!

Enjoy spreading your happy new tinselcat, perfect day to do it

My mum has known since the day we found out, and I've still got 9 days until my scan before we can tell the world so I've not really got anyone to tell today! I really wanted my scan at 11+6 so I could put a scan pic in both our nanna's cards and tell them that way, but it hasn't worked out like that. Oh well! Xx

I wrapped up the pregnancy test (the digital where the pee bit gets covered lol) and gave it to my MIL....

The reaction was amazing as it was totally out of the blue.

We had toyed with the idea of taking a family pic and instead of saying "say cheese" saying "tweety's pregnant"

But was a bit hard to do without an occasion as an excuse (which mothers day will be!)

To all the people who are telling today - thats a lovely idea!

We told our parents straight away. It's a bit different for us, with it being an IVF baby - they knew when testing day was so we couldn't leave them in suspense. I know some people don't tell anyone when they do IVF, but we have close families and needed the support.

I spoke to my mum this morning, who is In Sydney visiting my brother. She said "I already have my mother's day present this year"

She said "I already have my mother's day present this year"

this just made me cry!

That is a gorgeous poem!

We just told mum and MIL today when took them out for lunch. They were v excited. I'm still nervous though. Can't wait for scan on Wednesday.

We told close family early at 8 weeks. Got mum and dad a 'grandkids on board' sign for their car, then told dad we had a birthday present for him but it was going to arrive a bit late and the sign was the delivery invoice!!

omg that is such a lovely poem hope all the announcements went well x

 

[tinselcat]

I had a good time, my parents & I went out for lunch and i waited until we'd placed our orders & got our drinks, then said i had something to say but i don't want the neighbours knowing or any posts or references on facebook (my mum loves posting on there) then said around the time of my brother's birthday i'm expecting a baby!

They were v happy & pleased for me and my mum even didn't moan about my grandmother/other things for the rest of the dinner

Now i don't need to come up with excuses why i can't have various medications etc that they have been trying to get me to take!

 

[Loula]

yay feels soo good x

Told my Mum and her partner yesterday. Gave her that poem in a separate hand made card from the one I bought for her from myself and OH and signed it Baby Bean. She didn't have her glasses on so only saw Baby Bean when she opened it and turned round and said "Who's Baby Bean?!" lol she so didn't get it. Then she ran to get her glasses and read the poem I was soooo nervous while she was reading it and then she spun round and said "YOU'RE PREGNANT?!" in tears needless to say I started crying too and she squeezed me so tight! Then my Mums partner started crying and joined in the hug lol. They asked me was I happy and I said I was ecstatic Then my OH got the hugs lol. I'm so relieved she's happy because she has been saying to me for so long to wait until Uni was finished before we started a family.

She phoned my Grandma and told her and she was really happy too (said she would knit me a baby girl bonnet cos she doesn't know how to make boy ones LOL so I may hope I'm having a baby girl!)
