We haven't told anyone either, and it's getting harder and harder to keep it a secret! I think as soon as my whole family is together, we'll say that we have a gift for my parents to open right away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1294716 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:20:04 +0000 CakeLady 1294716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: Love that! So cute.</p> <p>We will be just over 14 weeks and will be telling both our parents - we will all be together on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The plan is to give them an early Christmas present on Christmas Eve (we just can't wait any longer - we haven't told anyone yet!)</p> <p>I think we are going to give them each a hokey calendar (puppies, flowers, you know) with the due date circled on the June page and a note saying "Grandbaby Arrives!" We'll clip an ultrasound picture to the page too. I am really looking forward to seeing the surprise on their faces! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1294625 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:31:50 +0000 mrs. 64 1294625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 4w1d so we won't be announcing to anyone yet, but I told DH earlier this week using our Christmas tree. The paper ornament says "Baby ___ arriving August 2014!" </p> [attach=3344/13/my4h5z.600x399.IMG_0750-003.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1294501 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:52:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 1294501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, this makes me so happy!

We'll be 14 weeks. The Mister picked out special gifts for each of his parents. I got my parents a special onesie...I hope everyone will be excited! I'm most nervous about their reactions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1294004 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 11:33:01 +0000 Espion 1294004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!!! I announced last Christmas. :) The shocked, happy surprise of my grandma still makes me smile. :)</p> <p>(I put an ultrasound picture behind one of my husband's professional military photos he had just had done. They oooh'd and aaah'd about how handsome he is, and I had to tell them that there were more "photos" in the sleeve! The other memorable part was my grandma telling me that she thought I had "let myself go" a little since getting married, lol. Ahhh, that annoying fat, but not quite a bump yet stage...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1293981 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 11:23:50 +0000 tigger223 1293981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be 9 weeks on Monday and will have a dating ultrasound on that day, so as long as everything is good we will tell our immediate families over Christmas. We are planning on doing the onesie thing, but writing things that apply to each family member, like for my sister who has a notorious potty mouth we are thinking of just writing "little ears" with arrows on the onesie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1293951 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 11:15:33 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1293951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't think i'm going to announce on fb.. just never been too into posting pics of anything other than my puppy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1293950 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 11:15:09 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1293950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@norcalwayfarer i am doing something similar with the onesies -- just going to wrap a few up with some christmas ribbon and give them to some of my aunts and grandparents and watch their reactions :) i'll only be almost 11 weeks, but i'm going to be with everyone and really would like to be able to talk about it with loved ones, especially over the holidays :) </p> <p>it's been so much easier for me to do something creative like that. i find that after taking so long to get to this point i get super awkward if i actually have to tell someone outloud lol.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1292578 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:49:42 +0000 mlm2934 1292578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: that's my plan for Facebook too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1292575 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:48:50 +0000 Beebug 1292575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to go fb public and will be just over 20w :) Just going to put the digital copy of our Christmas card up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1292563 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:45:12 +0000 mlm2934 1292563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's gonna be such a fun Christmas for you!!</p> <p>Christmas was my original plan, but we're been telling close friends and immediate family a few at a time after each good appt! Now we just plan to tell extended family with special late Xmas cards after our 12/26 appt, and make full fb announcement around New Years.</p> <p>I had all these grand plans for creative reveals but in the end we've had spur of the moment feelings on who to go ahead and tell, so no time for getting fancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-christmas-announcements-planned#post-1292558 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:40:06 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1292558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be 12 weeks on Christmas day and will announce to both my parents and the ILs! I'm going to wrap up a onesie for each of my parents that say "I :heart: Grandma" and "I :heart: Grandpa" respectively. DH just wants to tell his family (it seems so anti-climactic to me, but he's driving this train). </p> <p>Anyone else have any pregnancy announcements planned for Christmas!? </p>
