Pregnant! Ideas for how to tell ss4?

Eep! It's been about a week that we've known we're pregnant and FDH and I are thrilled (even tho this wasn't planned at all, and will change some plans, we're ridiculously excited) We've decided to wait to tell ss4 till closer to the end of the first trimester, but I didn't know if any of you parents might have some ideas on how to tell him? We think he'll be excited, he's been asking for a baby for some time now, but I also want him to not feel like he's being replaced (he'll be with BM more this next year bc of school) Thoughts? Ideas?

congrats! i am also expecting, unfortunately, ss is not fond of the idea of a new baby (oh well! lol) so we are putting off telling him until i am clearly showing lol

you can always get your ss a shirt that says 'big brother' as a gift. also, i think if you involve him in planning for the baby (buying new clothes, baby furniture, etc.) he wont feel as if he's being 'replaced'. plus its an awesome way for everyone to get excited for the baby!

congrats again!
