Hello dads, we start with a few ideas (if you have others you can also say) to give the news that you are going to be dads.
Your wife knows it (logical, she is the first to know), you know it because she herself has told you so and now you have to say it to others: We are going to be parents !!
Giving the news to friends is no problem. They are told and that's it: “Guys, I'm going to be a father !!”, “we're going to be three (or more) in the family!!" or something similar. Enough for one of them to think of celebrating it big. That friend for whom any excuse is good for riding a spree (you decide whether to ride or not, of course ...).
But of course, telling your parents and your family is different. It is news that is not given every day and it is better to give some emotion and humor, right?
A fairly typical way of doing this is to teach an ultrasound. There is only one problem, that in social security the first ultrasound is usually done around 12 weeks and that is many weeks keeping the secret ...
If you choose this option you have to make a happy face when delivering it because normally our parents are in bad sight and whenever we teach them something they have the glasses in the furthest possible place. It is very possible then that they simply see a blurred black image that may well make them think that you have some strange disease.
You can take advantage of the economics that print t-shirts nowadays and make one with a message that seems funny to you: “I will be a father (and I am cherished)”, “Future dad requests L of rookie”, “You are going to be grandparents” , “My wife is going to be a mother, and I am a father, of course…”, “I am going to be a son. No mother. No, umm do I feel nervous? ”,“ Future best father in the world ”.
Anyway, it's all about finding the phrase you like best, it's about giving it a little imagination.
If you already have a child you can do as we did this summer to give the news to my family. We put Jon a t-shirt (previously written with a permanent marker) that said "I'm going to have 1 little brother". The truth is that he succeeded quite a lot.
Another option would be simple, say it directly:
- "We are going to have a child". Simple and direct phrase, bluntly.
- "You're going to be grandparents in January." If you have another brother or sister likewise, they think that you are kidding yourself of a pregnancy, but it is usually easy to understand.
- "Esther has an occupation in her belly." If you are shooting hippies.
- "Daddy, mommy, we're going to need a TOUS pacifier." If you are throwing posh.
- "Father, mother, in future months you will have a new descendant of your lineage." If you are from royalty or aristocracy.
(Please, I don't mind anyone ... I write everything in humor code)
You can invite the family to eat at home and put on the plate, covered with another plate or a lid, some booties or a slightly beautiful paper with the text “You are going to be grandparents”, “Congratulations grandfather” or something similar. So when you lift the plate or lid to eat!voilà!! They will find the surprise.
You can give a calendar or an agenda and mark the expected day of childbirth as “Being grandparents”, and if it is an agenda leave it with the marker on that day so that you can browse inside and fall on that page.
With a little imagination, you can think of something else ...
