Are you signing baby's name on your Christmas card?

  Nope. Little one can make an appearance on the Christmas cards next year, when she's actually here.
  I'd find it odd/confusing to receive a card "signed" by an unborn baby--like I'd missed the birth announcement.
  No messages from beyond the uterus in this household.

  I'm totally signing the name but only for closer family. She's already very real to everyone anyway.

  If you go on the other posts you should see a little spoke or edit option and you can just change the titles to "duplicate post". Is not a delete but they will get ignored and eventually fall off the first page.

  We only sent to close family and friends this year so I signed Baby Parker in them. We already had our shower so everyone knew the name.

  I said no and told my family no to baby's first Christmas stocking this year because she won't be here until after Christmas. I don't want to take away the specialness of her actual first Christmas. Just wait until next year!

  At the very last minute I added "baby #4" (& our dog's name) to our Christmas card. I can't decide if I think it was a lame decision or not yet. Most everyone knows I'll probably deliver soon after Christmas and that we can't decide on a name for the life of us so I think people will do a smile and shake their heads about it, but I guess I don't really know for sure. Oh well. I have mush for brains these days anyway - everything is being blamed on the pregnancy!

  I say no just because we never send family christmas cards.

  
  

  However I have bought Christmas presents for Lo. But that is mostly for DD to get use to the idea of someone else having presents and it not just being all her.

  This year, I just signed ours "The (last name) family" rather than our individual names.

  I did, from: 

  
  

  <my name>, <husband's name>, <daughter's name>, and Baby <surname>

  
  

  We never sent holiday cards before we had my daughter, so no idea there, but since we now send photo cards, it's pretty damned obvious that I'm very pregnant in the pic, so it feels disingenuous to not acknowledge the pregnancy.

  That would be a bit strange to do for me.

  No, because we're not announcing DS2's name until he is born. We did that with our first as well.

  Nope. She still doesn't have a name, but even if she did we wouldn't include her name until after she is actually here.

  We did a photo card of us, but signed it just us.  I figure next year the card will either be all 3 of us, or just her.. so may as well just put us this year

  Yes... I don't think signing it from myself, my husband, our dog, and baby + her name is weird at all. I'm clearly pregnant in the picture and one of the "highlights" listed in the card is our pregnancy so it all kind of ties in. Plus I'm so excited about her name since we're naming her after DH's wonderful grandma that I'm excited to share. Next year we'll do all the baby's first Christmas stuff... Having her name on the card doesn't take away from the fact that next year will be her first Christmas.
