How did you announce on FB?

vcukoko82 · September 2011

Just curious. We are going to announce sometime soon!

gdizzle · September 2011

I posted a u/s pic with a caption of "Meet Baby LastName, due 3/9/12!" Nothing fancy or creative, but it got the point across quickly!

TRobinetteter · September 2011

I said my eggo is preggo!

chrisandchris06 · September 2011

We announced on labor day

TooExcitedForMarch25 · September 2011

I got the idea from here, actually!

"Husband is going to be a father, and I'm pretty sure it's mine!"

farfanoogen · September 2011

i posted this: Chris is going to be a daddy and I'm pretty sure it's mine! Our little one is expected to join us March 5th. we had a bunch of "is this real?" comments.

xoladiebug · September 2011

When I got pregnant in April (miscarried later), I posted "First came love, then came marriage...now here comes a baby in a baby carriage".

mhollidayesq · September 2011

I want to post something...but I'm nervous about doing so. I don't know if I am ready to handle all of the questions, comments and well wishes. I'm thinking I might wait until I'm in my 3rd trimester...That being said I really like the: "My husband's going to be a father and I'm pretty sure it's mine" idea. Cute and funny. If I do announce I will probably do it that way with a pic of me with my belly or u/s pic attached.

TheMutleys · September 2011

We're not. I'll put up pictures from our son's 1st birthday party this upcoming weekend. People can make their own conclusions as to whether I am pregnant or just gaining a bit around the middle. Stick out tongue

Those that we want to know already know.

psychgirl33 · September 2011

I threw my back out and was all laid up, so I posted:

"I'm 100% certain (DH's name) is going to be a GREAT father come March! He's already doing a fantastic job of taking care of mom and baby! Can't wait to meet baby T!"

Then the next day I posted our u/s pic.

adorkablechick · September 2011

After two previous losses, I didn't want to make a huge deal out of this pregnancy on FB, so when I was safely out of the first trimester, I updated my status to say "Hello Second Trimester! It's so good to FINALLY meet you!"

I uploaded a few ultrasound pictures later on. (None of which will EVER be my default picture. I think that's just weird.)

manda1129 · September 2011

My husband and I posted at the same time...We tagged eachother in the post and wrote..."(tagged eachothers name) can we tell everyone we are pregnant now?!?!"

jaemiller · September 2011

Baby #2........coming this March!

tash_rn · September 2011

My husband posted "It's official, my boys can swim!" and I posted "We'll be expanding our house by 2 feet in March"

that is too cute!

SassyRedhead · September 2011

I had DD do a video in her Big Sister T-shirt jumping up and down announcing she was going to be a big sister and giving all the details (When is baby due, what is it etc)

kclg10 · September 2011

K + N = 3

The friends that already knew kinda ruined it by posting... "finally we don't have to keep it a secret" right away!

Zilly13 · September 2011

I'm not planning to announce on FB at this time. The important people know and I figure eventually people will see pictures or figure it out. I don't want to make a big to-do publicly.

sleeping5beauty · September 2011

We posted serveral pictures. The first one was our son wearing a Big Brother shirt that said I have a secret. The next picture was him holding a picture of the ultra-sound with a big smile on his face, saying "Hey what's this!. Next picture was of my son kissing my belly. Last picture was me holding my son, with the ultra sound picture on my belly and Orion (my son) pointing at it.

mrscurlygurl · September 2011

I really wanted to do it by posting the opening credits to "Look Who's Talking," but after looking up the video, we realized the end of it sounds too orgasmic and we didn't want people thinking about "that" part of it Stick out tongue

So...haven't decided yet how we'll do it...

twentyeightlegs · September 2011

I posted an US pic that said "Oh hai! I'll be rolling out in early March!"

I got lots of of "OMG, Srsly!!" and "Is that a puppy?" LOL

Mrs Nice · September 2011

I was thinking of waiting till I'm 20wks, then post a pic of a bun in the oven and write "half baked!"

nah82 · September 2011

When it comes time that I'm ready to announce on fb, I think I'll just use the new feature where you can update your profile to add an expected baby and their due date, and post a pic of my little guy in his big brother t-shirt.

books4brooke · September 2011

I wrote a blog post called "Secrets" and posted the link on FB. I also added the expectant child.

Thall5 · September 2011

I posted a pic of a bun in the oven. Then a few weeks later started the weekly fruit post from the bump.

wildermom · September 2011

I just posted this video with the comment, "Yup. "

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYAWLdZYuKY&sns=em

It's a classic clip from I Love Lucy where Lucy tells Ricki that she's pregnant. It's always been one of my favorite moments on the show! Makes me tear up every time!

stefanielynn04 · September 2011

We just put 1+1=3 (03/02/2012)

mishy112 · September 2011

Mrs Nice:

I love this idea!

I also like Tash's "we'll be expanding our house by 2 feet."

May have to steal one of these.

paintme · September 2011

I had a friend who posted a picture of his wife holding their son. He tagged his wife, his son and his future baby in the picture around where her stomach was. He put under the picture "How many (last name) can you spot in this picture?" It was really cute when you dragged your mouse across and "baby" would show up.

Lanatir · September 2011

If everything goes well on Tuesday at our appointment to officially end the first trimester, I will be posting something like this:

"So far my first three months as a baker have been a success. Who knew baking a bun could be so easy? Can't wait to see the results on March 23, 2012!"

HSartteach · September 2011

I probably won't come out directly and say something. I will probably say something like..."it's great that food finally tastes good." (If it actually tastes good anytime soon). Then let people go from there.

ClovesA · September 2011

We haven't come out yet, but my sister gave us two ideas. The first is to take a picture of Prego spaghetti sauce and use it as my profile pic. I kinda like that one. The second is to take a picture of yourself in front of one of those "Expectant Mother" Parking signs at the grocery store or CVS. Post it to FB and say, "I just got to use the best partking spot in the lot!"

ClovesA · September 2011

So I just watched Sara.Wilder's I Love Lucy clip and I had a pretty good cry. I didn't realize how hormonal I was today until this. I loved this clip and I loved your idea to post it to FB. I think this may be what we do. Thanks for sharing!

charlotte99999 · September 2011

My post on FB was "The best sound in the world? Hearing your baby's heartbeat! We are happy to announce that baby C is well underway and due March 21, 2012!"

I had just come from my 12 week ultrasound and I swear hearing the heartbeat is the best thing ever.

adam+katie · September 2011

I wrote "Jackson is so excited to announce his promotion to big brother! Effective March 2012".

mommynpink · September 2011

Love this!!!!!

laurenbowman · September 2011

I'm going to wait until we know the gender, then take a pic of my belly with the u/s picture in front of it, and say, "it's a boy/girl".

olga&shaun · September 2011

After our 13/14week scan (and a urine gender test), we posted our u/s pic with blue footprints on and a caption that said "We're thrilled to announce that Milla's going to be a big sister! Her little brother is due early in March. God's blessings just keep on pouring over us, we're so grateful!"

CallieSam · September 2011

We haven't yet, but I've been thinking of posting a picture of my son talking to my belly (which he loves to do) with a caption like "Cash talking to his little brother or sister, who will be joining us in March!"
