I Love Grandma

You're pregnant! Now comes the fun part. How will you break the BIG news? The possibilities are endless -- here are some of our favorite ways real moms shared the news.

We told our parents by taking each of them out to lunch and giving our mothers "just a little something we saw and thought they would like." The gift was a wrapped bib that said "I Love Grandma." It took a few seconds for them to realize what the bib meant and their reactions were shock then complete happiness and tears. An amazing moment!

my mom works at a hospital and i asked her if she knew of a great dr or midwife. and she asked me why and i said that i would need one for the next 40 weeks. it only took her a second to realize what i said and she was really excited. but my 3 year old cried and said she didnt want another baby.

I am 40 and pregnant with my 7th child. My oldest is 23 my youngest 6. My 20 year old daughter is pregnant also and we are due on the same day. All my kids now know except my 13 year old. I don't know how to break it to her. this is unexpected for all of us. I thought i was done physically, mentally, emotionally and financially. At firs I had fear for the future and now I have chosen to replace that fear with faith. I know the Lord will bless us for following through with his plan

I thought I was done physically,emotionally, mentally and financially. When I told the father he told me to get and abortion. it's just not the right thing to do. Sure I am fearful of what our future holds for my family but I have chosen to replace fear with faith. I know the Lord will bless me & my children and get us through.
