Pregnancy announcements are special in so many ways. It’s exciting for the parent(s)-to-be to share the news, and it’s a super sweet celebration for those loved ones in their life who are finally in on the big secret. One woman gave her dad the best Father’s Day gift imaginable, when she revealed he’s a grandfather-to-be. His reaction? Priceless.

“I thought [I’d] share [a video of] how my dad reacted to finding out my sister is pregnant—best Father’s Day gift ever,” the expectant mom’s sister writes on Twitter.

The tweet is accompanied by a short but sweet video of their father opening a gift bag with a Build-A-Bear Chewbacca tucked inside. His daughters gently nudge him to press the stuffed animal’s hand to hear it talk, where the recording says, “Hey dad, just wanted to wish you a very Happy Father’s Day, and to let you know that…we’re having a baby!” Here, the dad completely loses his cool. First he screams. Then he bawls. Finally, he finishes off with a combination of both. Safe to say, his reaction didn’t disappoint.

Brainstorming ways to spill the beans about your baby on the way? Check out these unique pregnancy announcements worthy of your news.
