FTM - announcement ideas for the grandparents

dancerumd

I've been trying to come up with a fun announcement to tell my parents, and I just can't come up with anything good.  For my dad, we'll be taking him out to dinner for his birthday, so I was thinking of writing something in his card or something like that.  For my mom, we're telling her right before driving to my aunt's house for Rosh Hashana dinner, so I can't come up with anything fun to tell her.

My MIL lives far  away, so we'll be telling her over the phone.  She has a rocking chair that has been in the family for generations, so we're going to tell her that I'm carrying the next generation to be rocked in the chair.

We're waiting to tell the rest of the family and friends until after the first trimester, so I have time for the fun big announcement.

My husband thinks it's silly to not just tell them outright, but I think it's more fun this way!!  Any help is appreciated!!
