Who is or is not including baby in Christmas cards?

I haven't decided yet. Every year we do Christmas pictures for our cards and I will definately still have one dog in front of me and one in front of DH, not much to see yet, but I dont know if at the end I will add Madalynn or Dylan with our names, since we will know soon. My DH doesn't want to, he is afraid of jinxing something.

So are you guys adding babies name to your cards or waiting until next year when there is a baby?

    We don't do Christmas cards and if we did, we would probably wait till there was a baby

    We didn't add our baby's name but we did include an ultrasound photo with the caption  "Coming in May 2012".  Our Christmas Card has 4 photos so we used it as our fourth photo.  I have a huge family and most of my family and my DH's family live out of state so we figured this was a great way to share our exciting new! :)

    Our Christmas card will be from husband, wife, and daughter. We always included a letter, so I will mention in there that we are due in May, the sex if we know, etc (no news to anyone who gets the letter, though). But the card itself won't include the new baby in the "from" section. On the flip side, I don't think it would be weird to include the baby as part of your family in the card.

    We will just be putting us and the dog, as usual. Next year, we'll put the baby! The year that my cousin-in-law was pregnant (and due the week after Christmas), she did put, "Love, XXX and Baby," (their names, the dog's name and just "baby.") I wouldn't put a baby's name until the actual baby was born, though. That's just me!

    We don't know the sex nor are we finding out so we don't know our babys name but we are doing Christmas cards as a way of an announcement. My best friend took some awesome pictures so we are using those and saying with love, our names and baby [last name].

    I would wait until there is a baby.  I agree with your DH, I wouldn't want to jinx anything.

    We are using them to announce to extended family. I actually just ordered them yesterday. Since DS2 we havent been able to get a good picture of our whole family so I usually have one of DH and I and a seperate one of each child on the card. I added the baby's ultrasound photo this year.

    I did a collage of three pictures. Wedding,honeymoon, and ultrasound. I signed it with love DH, me, and baby due in may. I kind of used it as a way to formerly announce to extended family and family friends. Not giving away gender or name though. Our gender wasn't a "guarantee" and our name could change, it's still early lol

    Definitely will be mentioned in the letter.  Not sure if we will sign Love, M, A, & C or M, A, C & Baby... guess it will depend on my mood that day...

    I am making a cute Christmas sign for the dog that says Big Sister.  That way I represent the baby, announce it, and I think it is also kind of cute.

    We do a photo card and I am debating adding an ultrasound picture and I will probably add baby-our last name to the end of the card.  I'm also the person that adds the dogs names, so...

    I always personalize it with DH name, my name and Bella and Sadie H-----!  Maybe this year I will just write The H-----'s that way I dont acutally exclude it, just wont personalize it...! Everyone already knows already..I guess that is what birth announcements are for, I will just wait :)
