1st Trimester

Post your Announcement Here or share ideas!

I don't know if this will "stick" or not ... but I thought maybe we could have a thread of just Announcements where everyone can share theirs here, no matter when you made the announcement, or to get some fun ideas from this one thread.  That way, we wouldn't need individual threads for each person when they announce.  And we can all go and "love" their announcement from here.  Kinda like a pinterest board for this group?!

 

So if a few of you will be so kind as to post first, I'll be happy to add mine, and I hope more people will do the same!

 

Congrats to all!

  • My husband and I are tentatively thinking about taking a picture of him trying to put a diaper on our cat with a caption that's like "Practice makes Perfect!" or something equally cheesey.

    I'm also a crazy fan of the tv show Lost (I have an unhealthy relationship with it), and have a lot of FB friends who love it too.  I was thinking before putting up the big announcement posting a lost-related pregnancy riddle like - "Gee, I'm glad I'm not on the Island!  But, I do wish Juliet was here!!" (My fellow Lost fans on here should get that!)
  • I'm hoping to hold out to Christmas, then take DS for his picture with Santa in a "Big Brother" shirt.  Then again, it's not too original, so I may do something with the dogs that says something along the lines, of "Oh no, not another one..." 
  • We just "went public" today, tabloid style!

  • We are not announcing until Christmas.  I want to do something with my dogs and maybe the cats if I can get them to stay, if not just the dogs but need suggestions if anyone has any.  I am not very creative!!! LOL

    @dragonfly711 I love the cute ones with puppies and kitties in it!  That's why I included them on mine LOL  I've seen some really cute ones on FB and Pinterest lately ... but here is a link to a google search ... it should give you lots of ideas!  https://www.google.com/search?q=pregnancy+announcement+dogs&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=rtFuUpHLJofA4APmw4HgDQ&ved=0CCoQsAQ&biw=1208&bih=741

    I think one of my favorites has been the dog sitting next to a pair of baby shoes and it says "DOG'SNAME's Best Friend, coming May 2014" or whatever!

  • We just posted this last week. Figured since it's so close to Halloween pumpkins would be appropriate

  • We are announcing on Halloween (tomorrow we have an apt. to hear the heart beat and then I will be 12 weeks this Sunday, so it was good timing) I bought this Halloween shirt and we are going to take a picture and tell everyone on Facebook. Most people already know (close friends, family, some people at work...) but this will make it official..

    Here is the costume... https://www.etsy.com/listing/60218428/skeleton-maternity-xray-halloween-diy?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_listing_promoted&utm_campaign=clothing_low&gclid=CIqDg6ar-7kCFZJ9OgodBBgA2g

  • We're announcing to our parents this week! I bought my favorite baby books and will write in them "please read to me in July! -love Baby"

  •  I'm not near ready to announce yet, but I've been idly thinking a bit about it...you know, Facebook wasn't even invented last time I 'announced' a pregnancy LOL

     Anyhow, I'm thinking perhaps a pic of a 'bun in the oven' but knowing my family, I'd get posts asking why I'm posting a 'roll' in my oven hahaha

     Also thinking of putting one pair of each of our shoes on the rack (7 pairs total) with the year of the owner written on paper in front of it and then a pair of baby shoes saying 2014, and 'our family is growing by two feet'.

     Just praying I get to 12 weeks this time, to announce...
  • I don't know what it is about the announcements ... but the first time I've teared up about this pregnancy was when I put the announcement on facebook and people were instantly responding.  It was fun to know that so many people were excited for us ... like I had sudden gotten a boost of moral support, and for some ridiculous reason ... I shed a tear or two.  It was crazy! lol

  • I would like to include our 7 year old dd... Something like "I enjoy being an only but I guess I can make room for another!" I'm still trying to think of ideas!

  • Borrowing the baby book idea with a "cant wait for you to read this to me, love baby"  for when I tell the parents.
