We didn't do anything special, but I have read some stories of wrapping up a positive pg test, an empty "grandparents" frame with "coming in ____ [month due] note included, a small gift book especially for grandparents (the type you find in bookstores), wearing a "Baby" maternity shirt and waiting for the inevitable surprise when they notice.....just a few that come to mind. I'm sure the other ladies will have some as well

i brought the two pregnancy tests with the positives over to my parents house and said. "i have something amazing to show you!" and then i handed each of them a test!! lol

My sil found out with her first pregnancy right before Christmas. She wrapped up a grandpa coffee mug and a grandma angel and went to her parents a few days before christmas with some "early christmas presents"

well none of us ever did anything special... although with the first grandchild my sister in law was going to say something at Christmas, but that was when Ken and I anounced out engagement, and she didn't want to ditract from our anouncement... so she waited a month, and called on mine and my dad's birthday with the news... the funny thing is I was wondering at Christmas time if something was going on...

anyway the closest I have come to doing anything was this time arround... first sister in law found out she was pregnate, then my little sister found out she was pregnate... I was laughing saying I was the only one that wasn't. well a couple months later I found out I was... I called my mom and said something about the trend continuing... still can't believe it sometimes... then I feel him move...

I got a cute little gift box and put a pair of baby slippers in it. We had my in-laws over (we made up an excuse) and gave it to them, and the next day, we had my parents for supper and gave another one to them too. All four were super excited!

My mom blabbed to everyone after telling me not to say anything. I was going to make the big announcement on Christmas.
