My Husband and I have been planning and preparing for 3 months to TTC. We are only a couple days away now from starting to TTC for the first time. We got married only a month ago, and we are quite nervouse about telling our families that we have decided to become parents so quickly after our marriage.

We decided to wait to tell them until close to 2-3 month mark in the pregnancy, but I am planning ahead to reduce stress and we are looking for some cute or fun ways to tell both my parents and his.

How did you end up breaking the news?
Have you heard of any cute or funny announcments?

I plan on buying a grandparents picture frame for my parents and DH's parents and putting a picture of the positive pregnancy test in it and giving it to them!

Good luck!

We are going to tell our parents right away and maybe our very close friends, then make a formal announcement at 13 wks.

We just got married last weekend and we already told our parents that we're going to start trying to conceive after the holidays. They were excited and didn't feel like we are rushing at all. He's 36 and I'm 30 so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.

I was gonna by picture frames or something but my mom knew I had a doctors appointment. She actually text me while I was in the exam room getting my IUD out. She asked if I was gonna talk to the doc about having a baby. I replied Yeah and she got all giddy and excited. Kinda blew that one. LOL

You can still surprise them when you find out that you are pregnant.
