best way to tell my parents that I'm pregnant!
My husband and I are FINALLY expecting our first baby and we are so excited! I'm about three and a half months pregnant now and we think it's time to tell our parents about the great news. We thought it might be super cute to take a home pregnancy test and then mail it to them! :D Do you think this is a good idea? If so, how exactly do I do that? Just shove it in an envelope and send it off to them? haha

Congratulations on the little one. You can wait for your first ultrasound at 16-18 weeks
I would take a photo of you 2 holding the test results wearing great big smiles just because you have to pee on the swatch and it may seem a little unhygenic to post and recieve. You keep your test... they will just through it away in the bin. I still have mine 18 yrs later. Good luck

Personally, I wouldn't mail a pregnancy test that you've used. The idea sounds good, but we must face the fact that you'd be mailing a urine covered stick through the mail, if you know what I mean.
When we found out I was pregnant with my second baby, I asked my mom, "How many grandkids do you have now? I seem to forget..."
She'd say, "X amount of grandkids"
I said, "You sure about that? I thought there was one more?"
"... Oh, wait. One more when this one is born..."
Or something along that order, anyway.
But that will only work if they have other grandkids. Then again, maybe you could ask them how many grandbabies they'd like to have, then after they answer, say something like, "Ok we'll just start with this one."
I like the idea of sending an ultrasound picture, but they usually don't preform ultrasounds until 20 weeks, unless there is a worry. So you'd have to wait another month and a half before you could tell them, doing it that way.
Or you could just mail them a card to them, something like a "Thinking of you, Grandma and Grandpa" sort of thing.
If you do decide to send a pregnancy test you've taken, be sure to check with the post office about how to mail it properly. Urine is a body fluid, and body fluids are treated as biohazards.
Either way, congratulations to you!

Get your first ultrasound and place it in a card with a note saying, "You may not see the family resemblance yet, but you will in about nine months," and gave it to your parents.
OR
Decide you want a family picture while everyone is there.
Once everyone is together, have your husband be the one taking the picture and have him say "by the way (your name) is pregnant" and capture everyones reaction.
OR
After dinner, ask if anybody's still hungry - because you've got a bun in the oven!
