fun ways to announce at the workplace?!?

I remember when I was pregnant with DD some bumpies had some good ideas. But I cant remember now.  Can you guys offer any ideas/suggestions that you have done or have heard of or plan to do?! TIA!

With DD I just went in my US pictures and I was like "Oh hey, you guys wanna see my pictures" without saying what the pictures were of.. and then I just showed them. IDK what I'll do this time.

I like this one.

 Depending on how long I can make it before I have to change to maternity pants, I might just bring my boss a vacation request for May and put reason: baby.  It will be fun to watch her try and figure that out.

Whatever you do, make sure it's 100% clear!  I made the mistake of bringing in cupcakes (I had been taking a cake decorating class, so my office got to sample a lot of my cakes already) that I decorated with baby fondant items (pacifiers, bottles, diapers, etc.) and just told them I made a special treat.  The guys just shoved them in their mouth, didn't notice anything.  The women weren't sure if I was trying to tell them something, or if I was practicing for a baby shower. Made sense when I thought about it from their side.  Nobody wants to guess that you're pregnant if you're not!

We have a staff meeting/new employee welcome breakfast in October.  Since we work in the same office, we'll probably tell everyone then.  Usually, when a new person starts, they go around the table & have everyone introduce themself & then say something (either a "fun fact", little known fact, etc).  We'll probably say something like "& something most people don't know about us is we'll have baby #2 in May!!"
