How did you tell your kids?

Question

I have 4 beautiful children ranging in ages from nearly 5 to 13- I am more excited to tell them than anyone else!!! Anyone have any cool ideas for how to tell the kiddos? I'll wait a few weeks (just found out) to make sure I STAY pregnant before we tell them anything, but I get really sick...REALLY sick- so it won't be a secret for long!

Answer

I have 3 kids and I told them I wanted a family picture. So we set up the iPad and set it on a timer and took 1 picture. Then just before the timer counted down for the second picture I said I'm pregnant! It was so much fun to see the reactions and have a picture of it!

Answer

I have 4 kids also ages 13,10,6, and 5. Expecting #5 May 10th. Everyone was happy at first that I was having a baby. There have been times where my 10 yr old is upset that we are having another one, like she is not getting enough attention from us as she would like.

Answer

With #4 I bought them "big brother in training, big brother again, and professional big brother" shirts and videoed them trying them on woke my oldest read and figured it out.

With #5 I made a cake and put 3 blue candles, 1 pink (baby sister), and 1 white (new baby) and videoed until they figured it out. My oldest said, "You're pregnant? AGAIN?? Can't you wait at least a YEAR?!?" LOL! He was 8. Baby sister was 12 months exactly.
