Video daddy, then share the moment.
Set up a video camera to capture you telling the daddy-to-be that you are pregnant.
Then, make a video or DVD to send to relatives and friends.8.

Make mealtime announcement time.
Slip a note into a fortune cookie, or have your waiter bring some little baby booties on a tray instead of dessert.
Or just order some pickles and ice-cream.9.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Send a bunch of pictures to your relatives (of your new house, latest vacation, repairs on your deck -- whatever) and slip in a few pictures of the pregnancy test or the sonogram in the stack.

Imagine them casually flipping through until they find the surprise.10.
If you have already had your ultrasound, you can use the sonogram picture as an announcement.
Slip it in an envelope or in a pregnancy announcement card and mail it to friends and relatives.
Although it may be difficult to find pregnancy announcement cards, new ones are just hitting the market now.
Kari Edmonds, owner of Hip and Little Childrens Boutique, explained:
When I was pregnant, I wanted to send out some cute announcement cards, but couldnt find any.

There were lots of birth announcements, but none that shared the exciting news that we were expecting.
So, I designed our pregnancy announcements for moms-to-be who wanted a fun way to spread the news.
They are perfect for sending to old college friends, relatives and work colleagues.
Finding out you are pregnant is such an exciting time  and it is wonderful to be able to share your joy with others.No matter how you announce your exciting news, brace yourself for a lot of emails, notes and phone calls from excited loved ones.
Have fun sharing this special time and write a little note to your baby that tells the story of how you announced his or her arrival.Hip and Little is an online childrens boutique specializing in cute and unusual items made by independent designers.

Valentine's Day ? Where Did THAT Come From?

Just as soon as the stores put away their Christmas merchandise, out comes the Valentine's Day items ? even though Valentine's is still more than six weeks away.I don't know why, but it always takes me by surprise to see Valentine's Day merchandise so soon after Christmas.I've always wondered where Valentine's Day came from, and under those circumstances, a person could be forgiven for thinking it was invented to create more business when Christmas is over.But no, after a little research, I discovered that Valentine's is not a holiday that was "invented" by greeting card companies to sell more greeting cards or by candy companies to sell more candy or by florists to sell more roses.Valentine's Day actually started more than 1,500 years ago.According to legend, Valentine was a priest who defied the orders of the Roman emperor Claudius and continued to perform marriages. It seems that Claudius realized no young men wanted to join his army because they didn't want to leave their wives and...
