For some reason, we really don't announce, "Hey, we're pregnant."
With our first pregnancy, I am not exactly sure how we brought it up, but it wasn't in casual conversation. It was a bit formal.
For the Daniel's pregnancy, we waited longer to be sure we could have more proof of pregnancy, proof like 11 weeks into it. It would be difficult to endure another miscarriage after JUST before telling everyone about it. So we waited until Christmas and wrapped up little Baby H's ultrasound photo for them. They were really surprised and delighted.
For this baby's pregnancy, I created a shirt for Daniel to wear. It said BIG BROTHER on the back and had the number 11 on the front (which is the year he is a big brother). It looked a bit like an MU shirt, which might be why his grandparents didn't catch on at first. When they finally read the words on the back, they said, "What do you mean, he's a big brother? Ah!!!! Ooooo!!". There were a lot of smiles and it was a total surprise to them all.
