I already shared with some in another post, but we will be announcing on Mother's Day. With our first, I just told my mom over the phone. I called her as soon as I got my BFP. (I think I may have still be sitting on the toilet in disbelief!! lmao) This time, my husband was the first to know, and we have been keeping the secret for what seems like forever because I wanted to tell my mom in a special way this time. My son doesn't even know yet because I'm afraid he can't keep the secret!!
Anyway, on Mother's Day we will giver my mom a big box wrapped with many smaller boxes wrapped progressively inside. Each box will have part of the phrase "happy Mother's Day, grandma. I can't wait to meet you!" Initially, she will think it is from my son until she gets to the last box with "meet you" and then the ultrasound pic inside. Then, my son will have a shirt that says "ONLY CHILD" in big bold letters and stamped over that: "EXPIRES DEC. 2015" in red which he will show after the gift is opened.
I hope it all goes well. We see my mom almost daily and I talk to her many times a day. It has been really hard to not mention anything! ��
