Will you do anything creative to tell DH, parents, family that you are pregnant?

Good one. I think I may have answered this before elsewhere, but here is my thought:
DH: He is a diesel mechanic and I bought a bib that says something like "I'm just as dirty as Daddy" and I think I will give that to him.
My mom and Sis: We are huge Disney freaks and I already bought them each Mickey ears and they are embroidered with "Grandma" and "Aunt Abbie." They are stashed away in my "baby tote"
I think I will probably just go over to my dad and step-moms and tell them in person. I asked DH how he would want to tell his family, and he is leaving it up to me, I have no idea. I hope to get some suggestions from what others say!

Last time I gave birth, both my in-laws felt up to hanging out in the room while I was induced and without a robe to cover my butt. So next time I'm pregnant, I'm going to have DH call them up while I'm pushing if I can keep it secret that long. lol
For my husband, I might get Alice to bring him the test.

DH will probably be right there when I pee....he was last time and it was fun to find out together.
To tell my in-laws, we'll probably put Mason in one of those "Big Brother" t-shirts. We won't tell them (or anyone else) until we're through the 1st trimester.
My parents live across the state, but I talk to my mom on the phone every day. I ended up telling her over the phone at about 9 weeks along last time b/c we were in the middle of a flood, I had been sandbagging the levee and was worried I had hurt the baby and wanted comfort from my mommy. Not sure how I'll tell her next time. I'd like to hold out and tell my whole family back home in some fun way, but we'll see....

i'm the queen of un-creative. I think i peed on the test at 4am and just went in to the bedroom and started jumping on DH yelling "We're pregnant! We're pregnant!" He did not appreciate it lol.

Hi Ladies, I just introduced myself in an new topic, but I'm hoping to get to know you all. f
With my first we had just moved into our new house 2 days prior to my BFP and I hadn't told hubby I thought I might be. So, I went out and bought him a housewarming card and gift. The gift was a cross with noah's ark on it to hang in the soon-to-be nursery. He opened it and said, "Oh, this is nice. A little silly looking, but nice." Luckily, I anticipated he wouldn't "get it" so the card was signed, "Daddy, please hang this in my new room." God help the man he looked at me funny and though I wanted to put it in the laundry room b/c that's where the dogs were going to sleep at night. haha So I handed him the test.
For our second I asked him to set a 4th place at the dinner table. He looked at me funny and asked, "Why?" So of course I said, "Well, I guess that can wait for about another 9 months."
With our BFP this past fall I just blurted it out...but sadly we miscarried. I think the next time I'll put a "big brother" shirt on our little one and see if he notices.
