How I Announced My Pregnancy

From the minute you saw the two lines on the pregnancy test (or got the call from your doctor), you’ve been dying to tell your family and friends you’re expecting. But news like this doesn’t happen every day – which is why a lot of mamas-to-be make sharing it a special occasion. From gift-wrapped pee sticks to singing telegrams, see how these Moms broke the news!

We Bought Baby-Themed Balloons

When I got pregnant last year with my first child, my husband and I wanted to do something creative to announce the pregnancy to our family. We got a huge bouquet of balloons and showed up at my mom and dad's house. The balloons were all baby-themed and said, “Congrats, you are going to be grandparents!” My mom and dad were thrilled and loved the surprise! -- Elyse, mom of one, Livingston, NJ
