Synonym for "proud parents"
I'm looking for a synonym for "proud parents" or "thrilled parents" (of a newborn child) but don't want to use proud as it looks bit show-offy.
Solution 1:
Delighted/well-pleased/joyous/elated/ecstatic parents
Solution 2:
"Recently reproduced?"
"Delighted dad" and "Merry mom"
"Excited ancestors?" (not quite alliterative, but hey)
"Pleased progenitors?"
"Beaming begetters?"
Solution 3:
Instead of being proud parents we are "Blessed parents" and also I've substituted "being a proud American to Blessed American.
