Pregnancy Announcement AW Thread

livinthesunnylife

@elsieisamoocow Yours is amazing!  Both because of your adorable DS and all the meaning behind it!

elsieisamoocow

@livinthesunnylife Thanks! I'm so excited to post them! DH said he wasn't ready to post them yet or I would have on Saturday lol

livinthesunnylife

@elsieisamoocow Yeah I think I have to get to our 12w check up before I'm ready to post too.  Once I hear that little heartbeat again, then it's time!

elsieisamoocow

@livinthesunnylife I've been listening to the heartbeat on my doppler almost every day but he's still very nervous, which I get. But like, I'm 14 weeks on Wednesday. I need to spill the secret soon!

This is ours it'll be part of a Valentines Day card we are sending out to family since we forgot to do Christmas Cards this year.

Here is ours. Just posted it today, sans the covered up faces of course

We had a ton of different ideas for announcements but we finally settled on this. We'll be announcing in the next couple days. I would changed the filter but it hides all the crappy erasing marks better than the other filters  Tonight, we went ahead and called the people we wanted to know beforehand and we're just waiting to get in contact with one more person before posting to social media.

Here's my valentine card getting mailed out Monday to family and friends. Most everyone knows now but some don't. I don't have FB so my mom /mil may take a pic of the card and post to FB to let their friends know.

We’re military and got orders the same day we got our gender results so this was our announcement.

We had my SO’s parents and brother along with my mum and sister over for a small family dinner and we announce to everybody there! I made a chocolate cake and I (badly) piped the words “Oh baby!” on the top in green and we served it for dessert, everybody was so shocked when we brought it out. I stupidly didn’t think to take a photo of it and now there is only a quarter left and it has half of a “b” and smudged “y”. I’m not a very creative person so I haven’t done anything nearly as cool as everybody else’s! We haven’t posted anything on social media yet as we aren’t very active on any but we will probably just put a blurb on there at some point. 
@elsieisamoocow Your announcement is so sweet and heartfelt! 
@laurasue0513 Such a sweet idea!

This is the tshirt we got for DS to announce to the ILs when we visit them in FL next weekend. FIL is a retired cop so I know he’ll appreciate it. Well just let DS wear it and see how long it takes them to pick up on it! When we announced I was pregnant with DS to them, we put a tshirt in our dog that said “I’m going to be a big sister” and they thought it was a riot so I bet they like this. Can’t wait to tell them so I can finally spill the beans to everyone else!!

We told our immediate families as a last Christmas present, and they’ve been dying to spread the word ever since. Just announced in social media this weekend! Our dog is the first baby so this seemed fitting.

elsieisamoocow

@nugs41 cute! I have a random question lol. Is that clip holding your photo a clip made for letter boards? Or did you just stick it on there somehow? I'm going to do a similar thing with mine when we reveal the sex

nugs41

@elsieisamoocow it is a clip that was screwed in already, but it looks like an easy diy project! I found it at homegoods for like $10 a few weeks ago, brand is Burne of Boston

Firemanswife11

@nugs41 your dog is super cute!

nugs41

@Firemanswife11 thank you! She is baby #1 around here and will probably not be that excited to share her attention when the real one comes, haha

We announced this past weekend!

I was just goofing around today with the few things I got and a Photoshop-esque program. If nothing else I had fun.

hezzer78

This is ours - if we ever get around to announcing on social media. Maybe after the anatomy scan..

kc0711

This was ours. Our dog is the “big sister”, she is definitely our first baby!

Did this alongside pick of DS wearing his cape and mask today.

We are not going to announce on facebook until after our anatomy scan, if ever. My surviving kids are older we have had 13 losses over the last 10 years. This is how we announced last July our most recent pregnancy at 20 weeks. He was stillborn at 26 weeks. We have a weighted teddy that we will include in our announcement and we are hoping for a girl so we can do something cute like watch out future boyfriends. I love the rain brings rainbows announcement.  
With 2 second trimester losses under our belts we are just not ready to face the pity looks and do you think this one will make it questions a public announcement brings. My close family has all been told privately.

Do people really ask this? Unbelievable. Sorry for your losses. Sticky dust and what ever is out there, for you to bring home your rainbow baby. 

McDonalds2006

We announced on Valentine's day ♥️

busymama84

All the time. I have people who have flat out said we are not getting excited for you until this one is born. 
Family, who you think would get it, ask me if i feel this one is sticking every few weeks.

melissaf22

That’s horrible @busymama84 I’m sorry your family is so insensitive 

elsieisamoocow

That is terrible @busymama84. I’ve had some insensitive things said to me after our losses, but nothing nearly as bad as that. I hope this is finally your rainbow.

My sister had 2-20 week losses back to back. We had funerals and it was so sad. The girls both lived for just a few minutes but were just too small for any life saving procedures. 

And sadly, people said the same BS to her. I guess she was fortunate in learning it was a simple fix. She had IC. This was 20 years ago and frustratingly took two losses for the doctors to figure it out. 

Today has 3 girls. The oldest is a sophomore. We still remember the other girls. But I’ll never forget how heartless so many were about the losses. 

livinthesunnylife

@dirtanddiamonds That is so incredibly awful.  I understand people not getting excited about their own pregnancies due to late term losses, they are allowed whatever emotions they feel.  But other people?  no you shut up and support that family.  Horrible.

We posted this photo with the caption:

"So excited to make our favorite little munchkins into BIG cousins this August! 
We hope these guys know what they're doing because we sure as hell don't"

Thank you! Our announcement for #1 also involved fishing. We spend most of our summer and a good chunk of the winter on the lake. Your announcement is sweet, I'm sure they are super excited to be big cousins!
