I can't believe I already have an idea for telling my parents. Man, I'm embarassed to admit it because I'm still days away from starting C1!!! Tee hee!

Anyway, last January I bought a big Santa mug and a matching small one (which is probably meant to be for espresso, but I thought it looked like a child's mug) at a boxing day sale. My Dad is a Christmas nut (just like me) so I thought I'd wrap it up and give it to him with a note saying that in (however many months it'll be) he'll have someone little to share a mug of hot chocolate with. Now, I realize newborns can't actually HAVE hot chocolate, but I know he'll love it.

As for my Mom, I don't know. If I could find something similar for her I could get them both to open their presents at the same time so they'll both get the news simultaneously. Problem is, my Mom is like Sherlock Holmes, so if we come in to their house bearing gifts she'll know in a split second and start screaming and ruin the surprise!

Maybe I should check out the site you mentioned...ha ha!

My husband loves to golf and so do I. I thought if I found out during golfing season that I'd get a golfball made up (Professionally or handwritten) that says, "Honey, nice hole in one....we're pregnant!" Then I would get with the team that is teeing off in front of us and have them leave it in the cup on the 18th hole. That way, when my husband putts his last ball of the day in he'll find the made up ball.

I'm not sure how well I'll play that day but the anticipation of him finding the ball should be fun!
