why make it any referance to you pregnancy being an oops. Just announce that you are having a baby. There are many really cool ways to do this. I've attached a lot here so sorry if this is so long - all the links are below too.
GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU!
Show up to a family gathering wearing a shirt that announces your state. These days there are a ton of shirts out there with clever sayings, “Baby on Board,” “A Bun in the Oven,” or something related to the pregnancy. The moment you walk in or take off your jacket everyone will figure it out without you ever having to say a word. Now, get ready for the tears and excitement. You’ll be answering a ton of questions.
If you already have children you may want to call the grandparents up and tell them that the next Christmas they may want to add one more to the list.
If this is the first grandchild, you may want to get a bracelet link for your mom that reads, “#1 Grandma” or grandparent t-shirts. This will not only be a great present for them but something they will cherish and love forever.
No matter when you spread the news it can be a lot of fun, just think creative and let the pieces fall. You may even want to try catching all of it on video, so think ahead and prepare for the BIG moment, and I’m not meaning the birth.

4 Creative Ways to Announce Your Pregnancy
For some, pregnancy is something they have been waiting several months or years for. For some it is a total surprise and for others something in between. Regardless of how your pregnancy was confirmed, here are some ways to share your joy with your loved ones.
Humor
Some like to announce their pregnancy with a touch of humor like the woman who put a bun in the oven and asked her husband when he returned from work to get dinner out of the oven. It may sound clichéd, but it is a cute way to let your spouse know. Some women may argue that he still won’t get it and may turn around and say, ‘What, all we’re having is a dinner roll!’
For such better (but slower) halves, a positive pregnancy test in an envelope marked ‘Special Delivery’ may be hitting the nail on the head. After all, it would be boring to say, ‘Hi, honey, how was your day; by the way, we’re pregnant’.
Holidays
Many people wait until the holidays to share the news. One couple, for instance used their Thanksgiving family tradition to tell the family. When children passed out card stock leaves to everyone to write down what they were thankful for that year and put them on the family paper turkey hanging on the kitchen door, Tom and Lisa wrote that they are thankful they will be bringing a new baby to Thanksgiving dinner next year.
Others spread the news of their pregnancy by using the ultrasound picture as the photo for their holiday card or letter and ‘show off’ their baby to family and friends via email and snail mail. Of course, immediate family members may be offended if they find out through a standardized email, but for everyone else on your list, this may work just fine.
Others Prefer to Wait
Some couples, especially those who have had miscarriages or complicated pregnancies, wait until the first trimester is over before they share the news. Some feel that the risk of losing the pregnancy is lower after the first three months or so and only want o share the good news once they are absolutely certain. Others feel that announcing a pregnancy too soon at work may sometimes prevent you from being chosen to go on an upcoming business trip or head the next project. Although discrimination based on pregnancy is illegal, some wait until they are actually showing before they share the news.
Irrespective of when and how you spread the word, enjoy your pregnancy and the years to come.

Cute Ways to Announce to your Family and Friends that you're Pregnant
By Kendra Spencer
No matter how you spin it, telling your close friends and family that you are pregnant is going to be a memorable and happy occasion. Of course you can just come out and tell them but since this may be a once in a lifetime experience why not make a little effort to make it even more fun and memorable? Below are a list of creative ways to announce to your family and friends that you are pregnant.
'I'm Pregnant!'
This is a fantastic way to immortalize the moment you announce to your loved ones that you are going to have a baby. During your family or friends gathering, have everyone come together for a group picture. Before you take the photo, instead of yelling, "Everyone say 'Cheese'," yell out, "Everyone say 'Anna's (insert your name) Pregnant'!" Take the snapshot at that moment to capture everyone excited expression.
A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words.
Give your loved ones something to keep on their dresser by giving them an engraved photo frame. Buy a frame and have it personalized with your due date month and year on it and put either a poem, picture of your positive pregnancy test, or your ultrasound picture inside. When your baby is born, you can send them a baby picture to replace the placeholder. What a perfect way to announce your pregnancy at a gift giving occasion.
Potluck Surprise.
Are you in charge of bringing a dish for the next potluck? Sign up for dessert and bring cupcakes, cookies or donuts that are frosted with pink and blue icing. Watch to see who picks up on the subtle hint.
A New Family Tree.
A fantastic way to announce to your family that there will be a new baby in the family is to give them an updated version of your family tree. There are many great resources where you can buy or download a family tree. Just leave a blank space under yours and your husbands name and write in pencil your due date. This would make a perfect gift if you had it framed or for those who have scrap booking loved ones, a scrap book page would be perfect!
Pass the Peas.
At your next dinner party, announce your pregnancy by slipping in a subtle, "Can you please pass the peas? I'm eating for two these days!"
Site Update.
A great way to keep friends and relatives updated on your pregnancy is to create an online pregnancy journal, so why not use this as a way to announce your pregnancy also? Do a search for “free online pregnancy journal” and get started building your site today.
Game Night.
If you routinely play games during family or friend get-togethers, try switching out one of the game pieces to announce your pregnancy. For example, tape a new note over on the Community Chest cards in Monopoly to read, "Anna's having a baby, give $10 to each player," or pull out the right letters from your Scrabble Crossword Game game before your guest arrive and hide them in your pocket so you can lay down, "Pregnant" on the board while you play. Or instead break out Candy Land and Hungry Hungry Hippos Game and tell your guests that you have to practice now because soon there's going to be a new player on game night
