Our DD is having a scheduled c-section in 2 weeks. This is our first grandchild. She and her husband decided not to find out the sex of the baby--they want to be surprised, which makes this even more thrilling for us.
My DD wants to tell us in person after she is out of recovery. Something like "we'd like you to meet your new grandxxx." We love that idea. My son-in-law will just text or call us to let us know that mom and baby are fine. At that point, we'd head down to the hospital. Does this seem reasonable? It will delay our knowing by a few hours, but heck, we've waiting this long!
This is also the first grandchild for the in-laws. My SIL will most likely tell his parents over the phone. I'm sure he will be excited to share the news with his parents immediately.
