I put the ultrasound photo in the wallet I got my dad for Christmas. We had ornaments made for both of our moms. It was a happy tears kind of Christmas this year! So happy the family knows now.
Our DD wearing a Big Sister shirt and the sign says "Daddy and Mommy gave me the best present ever, but I have to wait to see until July 2015." It took awhile for some people to get it. They blamed it on not having their glasses on

Alright, here it is! Finally put together a little collage for our FB announcement. I'm not sure how soon I will put it up..... we are just now 9.5 weeks.
Just a little FYI for those who are trying to figure out how to edit a photo or add text: download the free Photofy app. You can edit your photos from mobile. You have lots of font options and other features.
This is how we told our grandparents and facebook. It is a letter to our daughter from Santa that says:
"Dear Lucy, thank you for the milk and cookies, they were yummy! You were a very good girl this year. Make sure you are a good listener and help your mom and dad. I will be watching you all year long, so be extra good when you become a big sister in July! Merry Christmas, Santa"
We announced to my family and fb yesterday. For the family, I made 3 copies of this picture and put one copy each into a manilla envelope marked "save the date/ 7-29-15" I gave one envelope each to my mom, my grandma and my SIL.
They were all really excited and passed the pictures around to the rest of the family that was gathered. My mom cried and is so happy to have the potential to share her birthday with a new baby. My IL's on the other hand.....dh isn't speaking to them this week.
Mine won't let me leave photo- on from my phone but we put the ultrasound picture on my belly with a bow and captioned it "we've been naughty, so santa says we have to wait until July for our present"
This is the picture we are using to announce to fb and friends on New Year's Day.
@bookworm7495 that is so cute! Did you use an app to make the photo or was it photoshopped?
Thank you! A friend of mine who is a photographer made it using picmonkey.com I think. I sent her what I wanted, and she did it in less than 10 minutes.
We announced way back in early November so mine has a fall theme to it, but here it is. We posted this picture with the caption "...And then there were 4!"
Awww, I love the matching Hauschka jerseys!!! Go Hawks!
Update to my announcement! My daughter was crazy the night I took the pic, but it looks like she's super excited! Posted on Xmas eve and also had a Xmas card made for family and friends.
I used picmonkey.com too. It has a ton of editing tools and it super easy to use. I'm not sure about if they have a mobile version, I used it from my computer.
Just changed our announcement which won't be posted for 2 more weeks... Now it's gonna be this (which I shamelessly stole from other ideas on this thread).
All of these announcements are so cute! We decided to wait until our first appointment, which was yesterday, before scheduling our photo shoot for the announcement. We're not due until the end of July, so I'm only 10 weeks. Since we won't have our announcements for another few weeks, I'll share our ultrasound photo.
