How to Announce New Baby?

hi there,
I am currently trying to conceive my second and I'm looking for some unique ideas on how to tell my husband that we are expecting a second. I would like something different than the t-shirt that says "i'm going to be a big sister" Any ideas???

Respond to Question

What can I do next?

I didn't get to do this, but I was going to make a CD with all sorts of baby-related music. Go online and look up songs with the right titles or lyrics. Hope you get a chance to do this...

This sounds like fun! If you want to have fun with this (as I probably would!) try to get a recording of a newborn baby crying, then play it in the middle of the night. Might be fun to see how he reacts!

Why not include him in the process so that you don't have to 'tell' him at all, but you discover it together?

Hello, my name is Ben and I would like to answer this one for my wife. Prior to the birht of our 1st son,(we too are expecting our second). My wife informed me by wrapping up a Willow Tree figurine titled "New Dad". If you are unfamiliar with Willow Tree products they are very nice, simple statues(for lack of a better explanation) The "New Dad" figure shows a man holding their child in his hands gazing intently at the life in his hands. I cherish the present and I thought it was very creative. She purchased it at a Christian bookstore in Groton by the name of Cornerstone Bookstore...I am unsure of your residence but I am quite sure if you went on line you would be able to locate them. Wrap it up with the sonogram picture...He'll love it!

For my third child, I wanted to tell my mom in a different way. So, I got a little ring box and put a grain of rice inside of it. I taped a little note to the inside cover that said "This is the size of your grandchild right now". She loved it!
