I would love to have one place for us all to add our announcments. I don't plan on putting mine on Facebook until July, but I made it today. I would love to see everybody else's too!
Cute!! Mine is in my siggy. We haven't announced on fb yet so I might try to get a better picture. My boys were so not cooperative that day lol. Here is the picture for those on mobile.
With DD, we just posted this picture and captioned it "Can you believe these two crazy kids are going to be someone's parents?" No everyone caught on right away, but the reactions were great. We will likely do something subtle again this time around. I love the shoe idea, but my dog is also an asshole and no way would he sit still for a photo.
I sent these to everyone. The only one who didn't get it was MIL. I haven't announced on FB yet but when I do I will do these and the US pic in a collage. Easy peasy.
BFP#1-11/5/10- Surgery for ectopic pregnancy 11/15/10

Oops we did it again... BFP 03/23/14 Due 12/6/14 Nora Born 11/23/14
I posted in the other thread too, but this was ours. We sentnitnout om FB yesterday and captioned it "Basil got a new shirt for Mother's Day, and it came with a promotion!"
We're in China right now for a 2 week vacation and I bought these adorable Chinese cat baby shoes. Tomorrow I'll be taking them to the Great Wall and getting a pic with them then add it to say "We're adding a travel companion to our future itineraries" can't wait to use it in another couple of weeks!
Hi. I'm from December 2013 board, had my baby on Christmas. If anyone is a Game of Thrones Fan out there this is wait I did on Facebook. House Stark sigil (with a wolf) that said Winter is Coming! Last name and December 2013. Just an idea if anyone is interested .

We will not announce on fb until we find out the gender. We did that last time around. I just posted the ultrasound pic and said my second heartbeat is coming from a little girl.
This time around, I will have dd dressed up and she will do blue or pink balloons. It's actually fun planning with her, than it was with DH lol
This is the shirt DD wore to tell my parents on Saturday, but I think we will be doing a different picture announcement for everyone else. Probably not until 14 weeks or so.
I wish I was as creative as all of you! We haven't announced yet, but I am on the look out for ideas.
I knew a couple that posted a picture of the husband sitting reading a book ... and it took people a little while to realize he was reading "What to Expect When You're Expecting." It was pretty cute.
I won't have a picture to share for a couple more weeks. We'll be creating it on the beach when we go to La Jolla at the end of the month. I'll happily share afterward though.
BFP #1 5/12/12; EDD 1/20/13; Eliana Grace born 1/25/13
We announced much earlier than I planned because my husband has a huge mouth and couldn't keep a secret... I might not tell him the gender when we find out so we can keep it secret until our gender reveal baby shower that my sister has already started planning...
Here is ours! Tomorrow is our 3rd Wedding anniversary so we will be posting to Facebook. We will be 12 weeks at the end of the week so we are close enough. We were 18 and 19 in the top pic. Young love!
I'm right on the cusp of Nov/Dec. It's my first so I'm sure I will be a Dec Mommy!
For Mom & Dad we had Grace run around in a "Big Sister est. 2014" shirt. Took them an HOUR to read it. LOL For Grandma, we had all the girls in a big group photo and said "Okay, say "WE'RE HAVING A BABY" and got it on video. That was priceless.
For Facebook, I'm not 100% that we'll do an announcement this time around. We are slowly telling all of our friends and family in person and since this infertility battle was really rough, we may just not do anything. I guess it depends on if there are 1 or 2 in there. (First u/s looked like twins but was at 6 weeks) We find out next week how many there are.
Micropreemie, IUGR mom to Noah, born 10 weeks early at 1lb, 10oz. Grace born 02/2012
I'm having a tough time with this quandary. I shy away from the FB thing at least until much much later on because I'm friends with a LOT of really random people on there (business etc), but I guess I still need to tell the extended family and such. I'm sure it will come as a major surprise, so I'm thinking something in the mail, with pictures essentially introducing the BF and the new addition... I like that photo strip idea above!
We won't be announcing for a while. I really want to do a pic with the whole fam and have the mom + dad and girls = 5 and then say adding one more dec 2014. I can't wait for SD to get here for the summer so we can tell her and take the picture!

I love all of these! We will be announcing it by posting the actual video of when we told our kids.. Their reactions are priceless! I get teary eyed every time i watch it
I was planning to change my timeline header photo or whatever to the "my baby is this size" photo after my first appointment next week... along with an ultrasound photo So excited!!
