Clever Way To Tell Someone That You Are Pregnant

Watch as my dad learns that he is going to be a grandpa.

My wife came up with the clever idea to give him a 'Baby Due Date' countdown clock as a way of breaking the news. We simply played it up as a belated birthday present.

Don't miss my other videos of us breaking the news to my in-laws as well as one of the finished product (our daughter, Brooke). "Baby Giggles" is, in my humble opinion, one of the cutest videos on all of YouTube!

Update: Dad passed away very unexpectedly in October 2007 from a heart attack. He was 72. This video is one of my most treasured memories of him.

Update #2: I posted a memorial web site for mom and dad on March 19, 2008 if anyone is interested in taking a look. The URL is:

I had tears in my eyes as I watched this. This is so beautifull! And then I cried again when I read that he had passed. I'm so sorry for your loss. This video is filled with so much love. I guarantee that he is watching over all of you with the same love.

that was a lovely way of telling him the great news. The photos of him and brooke on the memorial site are so precious! I am sorry to see he passed away x I always wished I had known by Dads father but he died when he was in his 40's. I am pleased Brooke got to spend time with your Dad it looks like he adored her :)

Hes great.

Did he get to see the baby before he passed?

Im sorry for your loss, he seemed like a fabulous man, and a great father.

Brooke was 17 months old at the time of dad's passing. I'm EXTREMELY thankful that he was able to be part of her life for as long as he was.

Thank you very much for the kind comments.

So sorry to read that your dad passed; although I did not know him, just what I saw on this video I could see he was a very lovely man.
