Scavanger hunt. I think this is how I'm gonna tell my kids. Tell them there is a cupcake at the end if they have 4 things. Then do something like tape a picture of a baby under their bed with the next clue on the back of the picture, and a picture of a pregnant mom on the side of the toilet witht he next clue... make it indoors, but make the clues fun and easy all pointing to you being pregnant, You can say things like if you are a little monster you will find your next clue at your a monster home under the ____. And let them work it out. Then when they get to that clue let them find the next part that leads to the next. I am pretty certain they will start to put it together. And then if they ask why all the clues, say look at the pictures and extra sprinkles to anyone who guesses what the clues mean. (I'm likely explaining this all wrong. If you don't get it... feel free to message me.)

meant to add congrats. I would send baby dust, but seems like you don't need it. So happy for you.

Thats a great idea!!! Leads me to another...maybe a picture puzzle that they have to find all the pieces??

Congrats on your POSITIVE!! That's awesome!! I read your other journal entry, and it was so moving- I'm so glad April will now have a something wonderful attached to it! My God bless you and your little bean! :)

awww YAY!!! Congratulations darlin!! You could get her a book that you can read to her about becoming a big sister... I saw some from Joann Cole and Rachel Fuller on Amazon :D

Thanks everyone! We told the girls yesterday. I bought some cupcakes and some BIG SISTER buttons which I decorated the cupcakes with. Just before we revealed the cupcakes we had them pose for a picture (DH was on video instead of camera...sneaky). We said "Say Baby", then "Say Mommy has a baby in her bellY!". Those pictures are priceless. My youngest won't take the Big Sister button off, so I guess the cat is out of the bag lol.

Oh my goodness I just saw you got your BFP. I am so very happy for you!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!
