How did you tell your parents?
I've been thinking about this a lot and I'm not even pregnant yet (fingers crossed). My parents live 4 hours away. I do not keep secrets well. I've already decided I'll tell them pretty quickly. I'd rather have their support if the worst happened. I'm an open book. I've thought about jumping in the car and driving down there after I confirm I'm pregnant. Doing it by phone just seems so impersonal.
So, how did you tell your parents you were pregnant?

DH and I had two different dinner parties, once we had our dating scan: one for his family (parents+brothers) and one for my family (parents, brother, sister+brother in-law), we had our ultrasound stuck to the fridge and waited for someone to notice it before we said anything, for DH's family, it didn't happen until after dinner! It was so hard not to spill the beans!!!

With my first I told my mom over the phone and we lived an hour and a half away. With baby #2 we drove 4 hours to see them. I took my mom a birthday present and it was a baby bottle, booties, and a couple of pacifiers. I had a card that said "These are for you Grandma. But, I'll need them back in April. Love Peanut" I was only 6 weeks at the time, I couldn't wait either :)

I know this is an old post but we plan to tell our immediate families similar to how kaitlinrae did (his and my side separately). Dinner parties with my side and his side (parents, siblings and sibling-in-laws). Instead, since it is close to Christmas, we found an ornament stand in the mall that you can personalize so we're going to give them to our parents sometime during the dinner parties.
