Thanks for all the wishes...

a) I do not know the gender of the baby yet. Am keeping it as a surprise till the end;-)

b) Mom /dad and baby all doing fine.

c) The objective of this post was not met :-( .I wanted to know the various ways of breaking this news to near and dear ones.

I got a few more in other groups where I am a member-

* The Stork came visiting...
* God has sent us a gift...
* Our family is going to be bigger!
