We've always told DH's family in a creative way. The first time, we gave MIL a bib that said "I love my g'ma" (it was her first grandchild). The second time, Samuel wore a shirt that said "I'm gonna be a big brother" to Thanksgiving.
This time, I don't want the kids to know so the t-shirt thing is out. We're seeing them in person and will (possibly) tell them when we see them, but I'm not opposed to not telling them this weekend and mailing something. I'd thought of a sonogram picture, but I'm a pretty private person and I just don't think I want to show off my sonogram pictures attained by transvaginal ultrasound in EARLY EARLY pregnancy, KWIM? I'd also thought of boxing up some booties with a note that says "arriving late march," but I something about that doesn't feel right either. I guess I want it to really be RIGHT, because DH's family is kind of of the mindset that more than two kids is too many AND that we're financially irresponsible, so maybe if I find the perfect way to tell his "everything has to be about me" mother, it will ease the blow that we've made yet another irresponsible decision.

So, does anyone have any tips (besides just blowing his family off
)?
