I saw a lot of really cute announcement pictures just this lady month! Everyone seems to be getting the baby fever again in my world! My picture was posted just yesterday with my two girls. This will be baby #3 for us, so yay! ( I'm scared! Lol!)
We're sending this out to family this week (most of our family live out of town), and will make an "official" social media announcement assuming all goes well at my doctor's appointment next week. My husband is a football coach, so it only seemed appropriate to go with a football theme.
We have been infertile for over 13 years and adopted our son this past January which was such a blessing and Miracle for us. When we found out we were pregnant after having surgery in may leaving me without one of my ovaries and tubes we couldn't believe it! Truly another mirale from God! We announced with the first family of 4 picture (6week ultrasound, announced at 9weeks) and our Bible verse we have as a couple carried with is throughout our courtship and marriage. God is good!
Our Halloween pregnancy announcement video! DH wrote the lyrics and shot the stop motion video, BIL sang the song and I slept through most of the making haha! It's a perfect tribute to the changes around our home since the BFP. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/2X-BKAkcaMk
My hubby and I decided to go with a fall theme, using pumpkins! It does suck that the weather here in California isn't cold enough for hats and scarves!
Here is ours. My husband just started a job at Apple so we felt it fitting! We will probably upload to social media at the end of the week once we receive Materni21 results. He suggested I redo it with a plain white background so it will be a bit less busy.
@Abaline859 - This is the best thing ever!! Literally the best pregnancy announcement I've ever seen.
My plan is to not do an announcement at all, and let people awkwardly guess if I'm pregnant or not until it's blatantly obvious. DH and I are both terrible at announcing stuff like this - when we got married it was weird telling people, and I didn't want an engagement ring, so there was no indicator whatsoever. At least with this, people will be able to tell at some point!
@NOLA520 I know right! They are both so smoochable. Thw white and brindle one's face is so squishy- and he totally lets you mess with it. The grey one's name is Freya but we sometimes call her Dobby because her ears tend to stick out to the side like his do.
I love all of these. Here is mine, just posted today after getting NT test results! I love handstands and got a funny US pic with the baby's legs in the air so I thought it would be fun to show the "resemblance."
We wanted to do something around the Holidays as Christmas is my favourite time of year! We'll announce next week after our 12 week scan. Simple & Sweet
We announced on social media on Halloween and said "Happy Halloween, friends! We promise this is not a trick!" I was only 10 weeks, but we had a get together the following weekend (last night) with all of our friends that hadn't found out yet and it would have been obvious what was going on if I wasn't drinking.
We announced to both of our parents this weekend by having them over (separately) to take our Christmas card photo. While they were taking pictures we pulled out the sign :
Posted ours on Facebook yesterday with alternate captions for my dog nerd friends ("Hey guys, we got on the list for next spring's litter of Squalling Poop Gremlins, America's least rare breed!") and my nerd nerd friends ("Check out how hardcore my research is for the Lamashtu book.")
I'm pretty heavily involved in dog rescue/dog training, and I write tie-in fiction for a couple of different game worlds (in one of which Lamashtu is the demon-queen of monstrous pregnancies and cursed fecundity, and I'm currently working on a novel about that), so I couldn't decide which of those things I wanted to pick for the announcement and ended up going with both. Indecision, hooray!
Re: Announcement Pictures
We love board games so it had to be tied in.

Happy announcing!
