I was dreading telling our families because the reactions to our 3rd pregnancy were terrible. But we bit the bullet and had everyone over for a BBQ. I made a cake a let the icing speak for us. We were pleasantly surprised by everyone's reactions.

Awww! I LOVE everyone's announcements! They're all so creative! We just announced today and here's ours. I'm no professional photographer, but I think it turned out pretty cute (hard to go wrong with the beach as your background)
Yay!!! I love all of these. We told the kids, but no one else still. Ha! We took pictures when we told them but haven't gotten any sneak peeks or anything back. Guess I'm not in a rush because we are just going to wait and tell after our anatomy scan in 2 1/2 weeks now that we've already waited this long (15+ weeks).
Posted our announcement yesterday...my stepmom accidentally posted a video outing us on Saturday so I decided to go ahead and post (I'll be 12 weeks on Wednesday) - thankfully she doesn't know how to tag people on FB so she didn't totally blow the surprise. Also - how you y'all get adorable poses pics with pets?? Our dude was so focused on the ball I was holding up he wouldn't lie down next to the sign
"reading up on her new roll" is what I'm planning on posting to social media. I'm such a nervous Nelli I don't know when I'll actually do it. I'm 14 weeks so maybe after my OB appt next Friday.
My DH and I were thinking about taking a photo in front of a BUMP AHEAD sign in our neighborhood. I do like the calendar, flower, and ultrasound pic idea too (very classy!). My husband just wants something that will get people asking questions and not blatantly obvious. I was considering posting a picture of a whole bunch of pickle jars and telling everybody that we are stocking up for the next 6 months.
@desertrose0318, I think it was called faketicketgenerator.com
I just googled "fake ticket maker" on google and it was one of the first ones to pop up! I thought it was really well done and super easy to make. You input all the info and just print it yourself at home! Was way easier than I thought it would be!

Love this idea! Are you going to do ice cream too? For the whole pickles and ice cream thing?
@ivfgotthistwice I love that! She's so cute. I also have such bad pregnant brain I was confused thinking of like a bread roll (like a bun in the oven) when I read it haha. She's reading up on her new role!
Re: Making the announcement!
