We love Disney. We found out the week before we went to Disney World that I was pregnant, so we took this picture at the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom. We are also planning on taking some pictures with mickey ears. Then we'll send out the one we like the best. My appointment isn't until January 7, so we won't be announcing until after that.
It's not complete yet, but I wanted to do something fun for Xmas. Probably announcing Christmas Eve with my daughter a few more Xmas cookies, in her Santa pjs under the tree. I can't wait. I love how the cookies turned out! The caption will say she has some special cookies for Santa this year.
I made this Christmas card to give to my dad & step-mom and my grandma to reveal. And we found this super cute snowman ornament that I'll probably put up on facebook saying something about adding a new ornament to the tree this year. I still have a few days to figure that one out!
Husby and I had an envelope licking party in the post office parking lot yesterday before sending out Christmas cards to family and friends who live in other states (and a few in-state that we just haven't seen recently)!
We're not announcing on FB until a few days after New Years (I have a u/s on Tuesday, 6th). I'm going to post "DH, DS, and I decided to do a joint resolution this year," and then post this:
We're sending New Year's cards that have a picture of our daughter in her "I'm going to be a big sister" t-shirt. And yes it says arriving august 2015 but with a due date of 7/24 we didn't want people bugging us all month about whether baby was here yet.
I absolutely love scrolling through and seeing all the creative, adorable announcements! We are welcoming our 4th little bundle and will be announcing a bit differently We'll have 4 kids under 5 and and I'm sure most people (even our friends and family) think we're crazy... So we're going with it... Very blessed! Happy holidays, all!
Ok, I haven't announced widely yet (or with a picture) but I didn't want to go full-on AW with my own thread so this seemed like an okay place to post. We announced to my parents two nights ago! We took them out to the annual Christmas concert of an amazing local group - a Christmas tradition for us - and invited them over for tea afterward. I told them we had an early Xmas gift for them, and handed them a wrapped copy of the book Little Bear's Visit (about his visit to his grandparents' house). They turned it over to read the description and then Mom got it right away. She jumped up and wrapped her arms around me and we both cried a little bit. And dad just beamed silently; Mom said he's been smiling ever since.
I'm an only child, and at 35 I think they were wondering if they'd ever get to be grandparents, so it was a really wonerful moment for everyone. Now Mom just has to keep it to herself until we tell the rest of the family in early January. Wish me luck!
We ordered New Year's cards which people should get in the next week with a lot of fun pictures. We will also post on social media in the next couple of days. DH and I will probably both post something a little different, but here's one of the many options.
ETA: the ornament date says 6/30/15 since my OB changed my due date by one day from 7/1/15 based on LMP at my dating US. But seeing as how I started here and it'll probably be a July baby according to the doctor at my NT scan, I am sticking around

We are announcing tomorrow w/cookies---decorating was more difficult than we anticipated lol so out of the 3 dozen we made these are probably the only ones being decorated haha Good luck to everyone announcing tomorrow!!!! Merry Christmas!
This is how we told our parents this morning!! It was too perfect!! We just wrapped it like a normal present and waited until my MIL opened it! Not quite ready for a full announcement since I'm only 9 weeks, but it was a fun way to tell the family!!
