The timing for us has been very fortunate in that we already had a scheduled trip to the States to my parent's beach house in Hilton Head, so we were able to tell my parents in person, which was the best:). To tell them we had a baby bib printed which said Hilton Head beach baby, which we wrapped in silver with a pink bow (all I had) so my dad's convinced it'll be a girl. My brother came down a couple days after him so we prepared a dinner of sliders (baby hamburgers), baby potatoes, baby corn, cherry tomato salad, but he only caught on when my dad accidentally slipped and asked me if I wanted a virgin sea breeze. It was classic, he was shocked. Later that night we conferenced my sisters who weren't coming for another week to tell them over the phone. They were full of squeals and Kim even moved her flight up a couple of days because she was so excited. Here are some photos from our trip:
The weekend after we got back (which was last weekend) we headed down to Eastbourne to tell Paul's parents. For them, we bought a t-shirt for David, which said World's Greatest Grandpa. They were equally pleased to hear our news. And we called Paul's brother and sister-in-law (Sam and Sian) on Sunday and spoke to Sam, the news seemed to sink in as we talked to him and he got more and more excited. Here's a photo of them opening the gift:
