  • That's amazing! I LOVE your announcement! 
    We shared ours with everyone pretty early because we were so excited, but here it is!
    You are so cute! And that dress! 
    Now, we need to work on that SN ;-)
  • Thank you! I know haha I can't figure out how to change it!

    I think you can change it if you log on to The Knot 
  • @purplewriter welcome to team blue!!! Little boys are radical. 
  • I announced about a week ago after my second hospital stay for HG. It was getting hard to hide because I'm usually very active on social media and literally never home, we usually do a day trip every single day with the kids (I'm a sahm). So people had been asking questions, and we need a village and support right now. I didn't announce in a fun way, more of a "this is what's going on, we are happy, trying to get healthy and could use prayers". My fam and friends somewhat understand as I have been through this before. I'm sad we didn't get to do a joyful happy reveal and hope to do something extra special to reveal the sex later on.


  • We announced yesterday. Since we had genetic testing we thought we'd do a pregnancy and sex reveal at the same time.


    We did this for our first! Except a little photoshop to say New Baby! And a white person in the back seat since we didn't know gender. I love it! 
  • @PerraSucia thanks! My DH is thrilled to have a boy.

    @rmpiszczek Neat! I found a similar picture on Pintrest but it was for a boy. I had my mom dig out the game (I have the iPad version!) and take a few photos. It was a huge hit on Facebook. Many people commented on the creativity of the pic. 
  • @joyful08 Woot for Disney fans!! And I ordered them from Amazon :)

    I'm a huge Disney freak so of course the announcement of our first baby had to have a little Disney touch. 
    How did you find the Disney font?

    We have two sleeping beauties in heaven.
    Jack gained his wings on 09/02/2016. 
    Kali gained her wings on 07/28/2015.
    They will be forever missed. <3

  • @bdesterhouse I googled Disney font and they have downloads you can put onto your computer for free. It then gets put into all your Microsoft office programs. I first got it when I was writing my vows for my wedding and it has come in handy ever since.

  • My plan is to something like this, either just the kids or all of us.   No log cabin and I am not paying for signs, but you get the idea.  
    Married - 7/29/06
    Ben and Maggie - 4/10/09 
    Mia - 6/16/11
    Surprise! due 2/23/17

  • I really like this idea! We live in CO and will probably announce in September, so it's usually fall by then. 
  • Love all the ideas! We won't be going FB official until well into December, if that (SO is a very private kind of guy). Thinking of putting a hint on the holiday cards we send out at the beginning of December with DD sitting holding on of her baby outfits or something like that. But I've got time.
    The original: Aug2013
    The remix: Feb2017
    The encore: coming Oct2019

     
  • These ideas are great. Personally, I haven't thought about it much - but since we're moving to the US soon I might go with a onsie that says "made in Canada"? But we won't post to FB for awhile so I've got time to think and ponder

  • I got DD a shirt that says 'I may be little, but I'm going to be a big sister'. Going to do a pic with her in it and *fingers crossed* one of her hugging my 'belly'! She'll only be 14mo when we announce, so I'm hoping she cooperates for the pics haha
  • We posed the beach picture while on vacation and 5 to 6 wks pregnant! We waited and we announced last week. I did my nails this weekend. We were 8 wks And a few days. Doc said chance of mc was 5% so we couldn't wait! My mom made little memes for her and my dad to post and one for my sister's to post.
  • Hoping to do a "Big Sister Training Camp" thing once we're ready to announce but it won't be until probably late August after firsr tri is over.

    We are going to be doing the "every super hero needs a sidekick" pics sometime soon with DS. We are planning to announce early August at ~13w. 

    Eta b/c my mobile won't upload the pic.

    We were gonna do the "superhero/sidekick" one because my preemie has always been "superhero  "B", but it's becoming so popular of late. So instead, I'm buying this shirt and I'll have all 4 of my kids posing in some crazy way while I just stand there and "look cute and calm" lol! 

    ETA it won't let me post a pic.... Damn you bump!
  • We bought both sets of parents a "Love at First Sight" frame, and will insert our most recent ultrasound picture, at which I'll be 13 weeks. We're waiting to announce until almost 14 weeks (for various reasons), and are already having trouble holding it in..... 4 more weeks to go!!

  • My DS1's birthday is in August and that's when we planned on telling everyone, once we're out of the first trimester. I was thinking on getting shirts made for both. One saying "professional big bother" and the other "big brother in training, graduating February 2017" and see who catches on lol. More than likely I'll spill the beans prior and won't need the shirts.
