As i said in the previous post, if a couple say "we have news" you tend to be able to get a fair idea of what the next thing they are going to say is.
Well M34tb4LL and i descided that we were not going to 'just tell people' about our little peanut. However after making that descision, how do you tell people?
The outlaws (M34tb4LL's parents) were the first to hear the news. We were at their house and his mother was showing him stuff on her digital camera and i was sitting their itching for him to say something to them. When his mum had finished with the camera she started to put back into her handbag and M34tb4LL asked her if he could look at the camera for a moment, he turned it on, held it up and said "by the way, we're pregnant" **click**
Capture the moment - nice.
The way we told the parentals (my parents) - we went there for dinner and the father of G was offering us a glass of champagne. I said in the most off handed kind of way "no thanks, it wouldn't be good for the baby"
Much jumping up and down and hugging then happened.
Decay, Droidy & Lumpy - at their house, outside having a smoke (i wasn't) i was tring to get M34tb4LL to tell them and he was saying that it was my turn, there was a bit of "you do it", "no you", "you", "Its your turn", then i said "fine, give me a cigarette then" and he said "NO", "why not?", "becasue your pregnant!". Decays first response "really?"
M34tb4LL's brother and sister in-law was done by asking the brother to open a web browser and type in the following - http://www.users.on.net/~smpap
Go on, try it!
Tallulah Belle was fun to tell (and kind of evil). M34tb4LL had a couple of pairs of ear plug handy, we invited her over and at the same time put the plugs in, then we sat on the couch and just grinned at her and let her figure it out.
Thank deity for the ear plugs, the screaming was increadible
The way we told Suzie was M34tb4LL printed on a sheet of A4 paper "Georgi's pregnant" (that's me by the way), then folded the paper into a heart shape and gave it to her. She unfolded it and her forst response was "I have to sit down".
Paulie was easy to tell, being a fellow blogspot user i just told him the url for this site and let him read it for himself.
Most people know now and very few people got us introducing the topic as "So, we have news..."
Mission accomplished.

I finally told everyone at work yesterday. I printed "Georgi's pregnant!" in large letters on a T-shirt. Kinda backfired though. By 12:00 only one person had read it (goodonya Jules). At 15:00 I told the boss that I would have to take a couple hours off today, he finally noticed with some subtle pointing. By 17:00 I was walking around the office muttering "Just read the T-shirt, just read the damn T-shirt" to everyone I saw.
*grin*
Well, at least it proves how much people pay attention ... or something?
Ahem, I believe (and you guys coined this phrase, not me) that TallulahBelle Went Sonic. Dogs and bats all over this fair country of ours winced for about an hour afterwards . . .
