Announcing Your Pregnancy During Thanksgiving or Other Family Gatherings

By , About.com Guide

How many will fit?
When gathered around the table for dinner, speculate how many more people you can fit at the table for Thanksgiving. Then explain that next year you'll need more room. You can either choose to make the pregnancy announcement right then or pause for dramatic effect and wait to see what people say...

You can also adapt this to the creation of a children's table if you don't currently have one. Or you can talk about adding to the children's table or discuss a high chair at the table.
