Omgosh you guys! These are insanely adorable. See now, I want to make one just for the sake of being creative an artsy! But we're just going to do a birth announcement with pic of LO when he/she arrives. So cute!
Nothing too fancy for us. We told my family and our really close friends early on because they all knew we'd been through a loss. By the time we actually post it on Facebook, I'll probably be 20 weeks or so. As of right now, this is what I'm planning to post (eventually), but I'm still not sure when I'll feel comfortable doing it.
I blogged our announcement on my website as I had been really open about our infertility. So we posted here and then linked our social media sites to the blog post.
We didn't make an announcement, because we shared a present with our families at Christmas that had the baby balloon in it. We used the picture to announce it in Facebook
No cute picture for our announcement. I just posted on Facebook and said "Hello 2nd trimester, we meet again. Yep, that's right. The (our last name) are welcoming baby número dos in July!"
I just posted a pic of DH's Christmas present on Facebook as our announcement. I said something like "Can't wait to use DH's Christmas present this summer!"
We put these three pictures in some homemade photo boxes for family member's Christmas gifts. My step-mom was the ONLY one to get it by just reading the second photo. Everyone else had to get to the one with the shoes before they understood. Haha. Then a few weeks later we posted these on fb.
This was ours! (We thought we were due June 30, but now it's July 1!). These are the first shoes I bought for my daughter (now 2) when I was pregnant!! We announced on Christmas eve!
Reviving an old thread to share my announcement/ear worm, it read:
Stop, celebrate and listen
While we tell you about our family addition
Baby Girl, we will hold her tightly
In July '14 daily and nightly
Re: Post your announcements!
Have never posted any pictures, so here goes!
Here's the link to our FB announcement! Our Wedding save the date was a movie trailer so we went the same route! Enjoy!
Aw, thanks!!! 8-> I think so, too! I'm always hesitant to put pictures of her online, but this one was hard not to share with you ladies....
DS's feelings about the situation are written all over his face.
DH and I are excited to announce our next adventure. We're expecting Baby J in July.
