I didn't do a picture just typed this announcement into facebook with a photo of our ultrasound:
"Today I celebrate my two year anniversary with my husband. I'm a lucky girl. He's all I could ever ask for. But I also have another announcement. For those who have seen me recently, they know I have been suffering from extreme fatigue and nausea. I finally made the decision to go to the doctor to figure out what has been going on. Turns out my wonderful husband has infected me with a very common uterine parasite. My physician assures me these parasites are incredibly treatable. Unfortunately, they have a long incubation period until they are stable enough to be removed safely. She estimates that mine will be stable enough to be removed on January 1st. She assures me that this diagnosis isn't all bad: Many women grow to love these parasites, even naming them and dressing them up in tiny clothes. The more unfortunate consequence of treatment for this parasite is the need to avoid wine, sushi and soft cheese which, as anyone who knows me can attest, is 90% of my daily calories. "
As a medical Healthcare gal, I read a version like this before. I love it. I know not everyone e might get it or enjoy it, but it gives me a huge smile & chuckles every time!! Yup, we are hosts to our parasites for now :-) congrats & good luck to you!
We just sent ours this week. FB is probably next week. @stlmomof2 I think we're going to do colored balloons in a box and let DD open it, and take pics/video to share with friends & fam via email/text.
Right now, I'm considering baking appropriate colored cupcakes and packaging them individually in white boxes with white ribbons and hand delivering them to the appropriate friends and family members.
We announced a couple weeks ago. I figured after we saw the heartbeat we'd share. Daddy to be wanted to do it way earlier. I comprised to after the ultrasound.
We're Carolina Panther fans, so our announcement said "Adding a new fan to our family in January!" Just for kicks, I tweeted it to the Panthers and my favorite player, all of whom tweeted back
Ahhhh thanks for the bump @vvitchhazel I don't know why I couldn't find it, I must have overlooked it. Anyways, now that it is here I will share mine here. Thanks
I hope this posts! Here is ours. My 12 year old made it for us as a surprise. I am so proud of her and it takes my breath away every time I watch it!❤️
"Promoted to... Mommy & Daddy" We printed these out & gave to family/friends it was priceless to see their faces! Some were confused, some needed glasses, & some got it right away! :-) All were in happy tears!
I'm 13 weeks today so I decided to do my FB announcement☺️ wanted to do family pictures and include the siblings in the announcement but been a little under the weather and don't think that will happen so this is what I made.
As of 5 seconds ago, I'm 13 weeks, I think I'm going to post this in about a week at 14 weeks...I had a friend whip this up for me. I'm big into musical theater (one of the big reasons I'm hesitant to leave the NYC area is because I don't know if I can live without Broadway, and I've done community theater since I was 9), so we thought it would be cute.
I'll post it on Facebook with a little caption saying something about how the executive producers are proud to mount their latest production, and something about being in love with the lead, a shining new star, or something like that.
Not bothering with any physical announcements, seems a little wasteful at a time we should be saving moolah, especially since everybody who would have received one has already been told in person/on the phone.
Edit: All the playbills in the picture are from my personal collection (this is like...1% of what I have seen, haha) and are shows that have meaning to me in some way (Beauty and the Beast was my first Bway show at 5 years old, and I've been in community theater or college productions of Next to Normal, Pippin, Little Shop, and Last Five Years, for instance).
Plan to announce on FB this weekend after telling my boss and the rest of our out of state family. There's a second photo of DD holding ultrasound photo and the due date
Here's ours. Obviously I took out our last name where the blank space is and its Game of Thrones themed. So it should read "this winter, baby (last name) is coming".
