How did you tell the Facebook world?

    It wasn't really our kind of thing to draw attention to it...I figure people may see eventually in photos, but didn't feel a need to formally announce it.
    This is my approach.  With my last pregnancy someone randomly commented how they didn't know I was expecting after seeing a picture of me pregnant...my LO was like 2 month sold at the time, haha.  

    I've had a few miscarriages, so posting a big announcement on FB kind of freaks me out.  Plus, I'm not someone that posts my life on there anyways.  I just post pictures here and there.

  • i said i was on orders to pass on an early message for H and then tagged him:


    Happy Birthday, Dad!! Can't wait to meet you in December!! Sleep now while you still can!! 

    Love,

    Baby OurLastName

    cheesy, yes, but i thought it was cute. oh and it was two days before H's bday, because we didn't want the announcement to get stuck in all the facebook wall posts on his actual bday.
    This is cute.

  • Um... #1 was actually what I said.  For reals. :)
    If you posted it on here, I probably got the idea from you :) I saw someone post it and loved it :)
    It was me then!  Yeay!

  • I took a picture of the Mother to Be / New Mothers parking sign at the grocery store.  Then I said something to the effect of the change from Mother to Be to New Mother expected at the end of the year.

  • We announced to our family with a cake. I bought those sugar icing letters and spelled out our last name and baby #3 on it, at a big family dinner I brought it to the table and then took a picture of everyone's reaction. That picture is what I put on FB... it was cute & funny!
  • We posted a collage of our pee stick from home, doctors pee stick and the letter for WIC saying I am pregnant. It was really fun!!!!
  • I posted a pic of DD in a "big sister" shirt, with a "little sister" onesie laid out next to her. The caption read, "I hope ____ likes what she is getting for Christmas, because it sure isn't returnable! Expecting our 2nd little girl this December!"

  • I haven't announced it yet. Will probably just post an ultra sound picture after next week's ultrasound or maybe a bump picture.  I waited because I got engaged in June and didn't want people to think "Oh you just got engaged because your pregnant"

  • We definitely did the creepy, post-the-ultrasound thing after week 13 (I think that's when it happened).  I captioned it "{GTown08} 2.0 - release date December 18, 2013"

    Haven't done FB announcement yet but don't see us doing pee sticks or sono pics.

    Maybe it will just say "last name" party of 4 arriving in Dec or Terrific 3some will be Fearsome 4some 12/13
  • I have no idea what is going on with my siggy! That is an old a/s pic of baby number two it is the photo they used to guess boy? I put it on the bump last year after the anatomy scan to see if anyone could see why they said boy from that! He is a boy, I guess they saw scrotum between the legs. Horrible shot to guess the sex from! No idea where my tickers went and why it is showing up right now.

  • We posted a pic of our dog with a sign that read "big brother"
  • We did a bunch of different fun pics and posted them up. These are my two favorites.
  • We got a cute photo from the 20 week scan that looks like he's on a mobile phone. So I put that up photoshopped a caption on. Hello hello. Service in this womb is terrible call you back in December
