Announcing gender ideas?

We just found out this week that we are having another boy.  I'd like for DS to announce the gender.  I was thinking of letting him hold a poster, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a saying.  We did balloons when we announced his gender and I don't want to do that again.  I've thought of "Boys Only.  No Girls Allowed."  "I don't have to play with dolls." Or "Boys Rule."  But I'm not sure. Any other cute sayings?

    If I'm being honest, the doll one is pretty misogynistic.  I feel like Pinterest must have some better ideas.

    How about "(your last name) Scoreboard: Boys-3, Girls-1." Or "Mommy is going to stay outnumbered by us men!"

    That one came from Pinterest.

    I agree that your mentioned ideas sound more anti-girl than anything.

    Why not just "I'm getting a Little Brother"? Or the classic "It's a Boy"?

    Congrats on another boy. You save SO much money on clothes having the same gender, assuming your LO's clothes aren't gender-neutral anyway.

    Or how about a sign with an arrow pointing up at his face that says "big brother" and points at your tummy and says "little brother"? Concur on saving money with the same gender! We went the other way... Our first was a girl and we went pink-crazy. Now we are having a boy. Lol.
