ETA: Here is the final product! You can't see the 1 on my husband's birthdate, so I may mess with that more...My son had a blast helping me find rocks on the beach and tired himself out for naptime, an added bonus to the day
So my last pregnancy ended in a MMC and I had announced at 9 weeks with a picture of my son in a Big Brother shirt with the ultrasound, pretty basic but adorable. I want to so something different this time, we are waiting until after our 12.5 week appt on Wednesday to announce.
So keep in mind that my screen name having Feet in it is because we are the FEET family...yes interesting last name...but always sort of fun with baby feet ideas.
So my first idea I copied from pinterest, a picture of our shoes. I made this picture a few weeks ago in anticipation, but then found some other ideas.
Then I found this craft idea and so I painted hearts yesterday and made this with my families names and on the last heart I put "t.b.d 8.19.13" and thought of taking a pic of this to announce and see if people catch on...
And then I saw this idea I had pinned a million years ago and fell in love with it this morning- making this Feet Family of rocks and then adding a note in about baby coming somehow
So what does everyone vote for? I can not decide!

See this is how I was starting to feel- like everyone has seen the shoe thing now...
The rocks may be a bit fresher and since we are the FEET family it just makes sense for us too, feeling like I am leaning in that direction, but now I need to go gather rocks!! haha

The rock feet!!
I vote rocks!! So adorable!!
Thanks for the votes!
I went to the beach this morning and gathered myself my very own rocks-it helps that I live near the puget sound. Now I just need to decide how to write the names/birthdays on them--thinking maybe a permananet marker?
I will post a picture when I am all done

#1 Your final product is so darn cute - I absolutely love it!
#2 So jealous that you live by a beach and can go strolling for rocks on a moment's notice.
The rock feet are the cutest thing I have ever seen!!
I must have really uncreative FB friends because I have only seen about 3-4 cute announcements before.
