Any ideas please?

Well this week will see me hit 8 weeks, and because it's Christmas and our parents will be together with us, we are going to tell our families tomorrow....

I am struggling for a good way of telling them....as we haven't had scan yet, so can't go the scan pic route....

His sister is in Oz so we are telling her by phone. She has randomly decided to come and visit us all next July / August, so we thought we'd tell her by asking her to babysit and see if she gets it

Any ideas - how have you told people? Thanks in advance - hope you're all having a lovely Christmas eve!!

I managed to get my scan done on the 21st of dec.
We have bought a christmas card, put the pic inside, and written

To Nanny and Grandad
Can't wait to meet you in July
xxx

I think this could still work without a picture

Thanks ladies - I know what you mean sassy, and it took me a few weeks to adjust to be honest wouldn't have known what to say at first!
We're a bit unsure at 8 weeks but I guess if something goes wrong these are the people I'll need support from
