  Will you have a first US pic by then? You could use that to share the news. Or maybe wrap up little onesies for the grandparents to open. There are so many onesies that say Grandma or Grandpa on them. Just a thought.

  When we were pregnant this past time, we planned for Christmas announcement if all was going well. We would have been on the earlier side too but we wanted to share if the blood work looked good for us.

  Our idea was to get picture frames for each little family my mother, MIL, BIL, my two sisters, and aunt. Each frame would have a family word on the frame it so for my BIL and sisters the frames said Cousins and you get the idea for the others. Inside each frame we  had the idea to use a scrap book kit and make an insert that said Baby (our last name) Coming Soon and the month we would be due. And everyone would open the gift at the same time. Not sure if we will use the same idea,.

  Hope you have a great time during your announcement.

  Married in September 2010, started TTC journey November 2012

  Me-

  7 IUI- 2 CP- 2 BFN

  RPL blood work 12/27, showed a balance translocation in chromosome 11;22  

  Spouse-

  PCOS 4 IUI-4 BFN

  New Plan: Reciprocal IVF, me as carrier wife's eggs. Just went through insurance and received partial approval, so my part will go through my IVF benefits and wife's part will be out of pocket. Now just finalizing finance plans to cover the oop costs. Doctors office is in process of moving to a new building so there are no IVF start ups until March/April 2015.

  @mamosey....that was my first choice, but M wanted something else.  I think it is a phenomenal idea. I think we are going to use the cake announcement one for our friends!

  
  

  It is either the cake or we will have everyone over for game night and play Cards Against Humanity. Then have one of us read out "we're pregnant" as an answer choice and see who gets it. (if you have never played it before it is hilarious, horribly politically incorrect and HILARIOUS)
