Are you doing a cute thing or just telling people?
We are boring...we've just come out and told people that I'm expecting. I have an appointment at 13w1d, so after that, I think I will just putsomething up on FB to let everyone know. We've already started to tell close friends and family.
Re: How are you announcing your pregnancy?
DH just wants to wait until the baby is here and then announce the home birthed baby that way haha
We've just been telling people. Making a big production out of it isn't really our style (and seems like a lot of work!)
I got cards and glued this picture to the inside of it and mailed it to our parents and grandparents to tell them already.

For our facebook announcement for our extended family and large group of friends we are going to take a family picture with this awesome sign my friend gave me.

We are boring too and just tell people. Mostly used the "LO is going to be a big brother in Feb" line.
After my NT Scan I plan to tell work, same thing.
I'm not sure if/when/how we'll announce on FB. We didn't with #1, so we may just not ever make an official announcement. Probably just mention the sex after the 20w anatomy scan which will serve as a FB announcement.
Im boring. I just told family straight out. Am now working on telling the close friends. I wont be announcing to FB until baby arrives, though pictures that are posted may be my "unofficial announcement" as it happened last time. I am with your DH Stephanie185. Hopeful that we are approved again for a HB! Find out next Tuesday!
I'm still undecided about how to announce it yet! Only my mom, stepdad, sister, and best friend know so far.. Hubby's parents are still in the dark! Haha! I've got my 12 week ultrasound on the 29th of July, so I'm going to wait until then to be confident, and then call hubby's family to spread the news. After that, I was thinking of something kind of funny to do on Facebook.. I'm an artist, so I was thinking of doing a photo with a big easel and some paints beside some pieces of construction paper and crayons... like Mommy like baby, hopefully! Haha!
My hubby and I really like to hike and camp, so we were thinking of doing the shoes thing - you know, Daddy's big shoes, Mommy's medium shoes, Baby's little shoes - but instead of shoes, doing a big backpack, a medium backpack and a little baby backpack! Ha! With some sort of "Baby _____ Due Feb 2013" thing on it.
My other idea was a picture of myself and the hubby - me, looking all enthusiastic and crazy-eyed, clutching pregnancy books and onesies and stuffed animals, and Hubby next to me with a stunned expression and a beer (or six), heehee.
Most of my close friends and my side of the family know already. We're going to tell DH's dad this weekend when he comes to visit and call his mom this weekend also.
After 5 losses, I can't turn my PGAL brain off, even though everything has been wonderful this time around. So I'm not sure that we'll ever announce via FB... Maybe like another poster said and have something in our Christmas Card?!
We put DS in a big brother shirt to tell immediate family.
We've been calling and telling friends, and will announce on facebook sometime after our NT scan.
We have a wall of scrabble letters, spelling out our names. The letters are like 8 inches square and amazing. We're going to post a photo of our scrabble game to facebook, and say "New name being added February 2014. Any high scoring name suggestions?"
Oh good luck!! I will have my fingers crossed for you, it would be so awesome to have another home birther around here. Post an update if you get approved:
Thanks! So far bootie #1 is a bit lopsided and bootie #2 is halfway done, but has the wrong stitch count! I guess Ill have to rip out rows until I find where I went wrong. Blah!
For DS we had wrapped pictures of our first sonogram and gave it to our Dad's as Father's Day presents. My Dad still has his in his home office.
This time around, we were less creative. DH told his parents that we wouldnt be able to make it to FIL's 65th bday bash down in Florida at the end of January. It took them a second to figure it out. For my siblings I had DS Facetime with them and asked him to say "Im gonna be a big brother!" (hes only 18 months and obviously couldnt say it, but it got the point across).
For my parents, I just said "Im pregnant again!" I had all these creative ideas in my head for how to word it, but in the end, I just went with blunt
We'll call our close friends after the NT scan next month, and Ill post something on FB after I tell work probably around 4 or 5 months in.

I ordered a Tshirt for our toddler to wear during a photo session... The shirt reads "ONLY CHILD UNTIL FEBRUARY 2014"
We've already told immediate family and a couple of close friends - basically everyone who knew we were going through IVF. We're not into making some "big announcement" - just some phone calls to important relatives and friends once I hit second tri.
I don't plan on putting anything about the pregnancy on facebook - not my style.
