  I'll start I know is early but I couldn't help it, we had an announcement photo taken almost right when we found out!  It says Roses are red, Violets are blue, Cupid's been busy, a baby is due! My sisters idea!

  That's adorable! And cute kiddo!
  
  We won't be announcing to the world until 12 weeks, but have told a few close friends and will tell family around 8 weeks. This is how I announced to my husband, a hockey player/fan:
  
  
  We plan on having our little guy announce it to our family with a "Super Cool Big Bro" shirt and seeing who is the first to notice.

  Thanks! This is the one I got at Babies R Us: https://m.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=108707836
  We also videotaped my parents' reaction to our first baby (first grandbaby in the family) and my mom freaked ... best video ever! We'll for sure be taping this next time too!

  I just ordered the items but I plan to have DD and our dog in the photo. DD will wear a bodysuit that says "I may be small but I'm going to be a big sister" and our dog will wear a bandana that says "going to be a big sister again" 
  
  Once I get the photo taken then I will add some wording to it.

  I'm thinking of ordering something like this (we won't be telling the world until we know the sex) and having DS hold up the onesie

  We emailed this picture to my in-law's while we were on the phone with them.  They currently live in Ethiopia doing volunteer/mission work.  (P.S. DH is a firefighter)

  Definitely not announcing until later but when we do it will be on Valentine's Day if all goes as planned we will do something like this 
  
  eta: maybe with a caption like "cookies aren't the only thing baking at our house this Valentine's Day" or something similar

  @juliebeannn omg that is so cute! My DH is a firefighter here in town! I need one of those onesies! 
  @lap018 that is so cute! We are announcing a few days after Valentine's Day, probably after our first appointment on the 16th. That's why our sign says cupid's been busy! I love the Valentine's Day theme!!

  We announced to family on Christmas Eve. It's tradition to open new ornaments on Christmas Eve. It was fun. We were able to record my mom's reaction, too.

  I like that one too but I think my DH will like the first one better because it's "simpler" I'm like yeah it will probably go right over your mothers head. But I'll save the MIL talk for FFFC

  @lap018  Super cute! I like the top one more, just because I think it looks nicer with less wording.

  Maybe you could say.. "We're baking more than cookies!" To keep it short and sweet?

  I like that too, I'll try it out. Hubs already said he liked the bottom which surprised me! But maybe he'll like the we're baking more than cookies one better. I like the idea of less wording

  This is what I've thrown together so far. We are meeting my parents for breakfast tomorrow and I'm going to give them these in individual pictures to put on their "Grandkids make life Grand" sign that FI made them for DS2's announcement.

  Thank you ladies! I agree the newest one is the best of both worlds! Can't wait for Valentine's Day but most importantly can't wait for January 25th!

  I told my DH last night by showing him the shirt I bought for our DS (image below).  We aren't telling anyone for a long time.  I'm 35, so chances of complications are higher and there are two other siblings in the family that just announced they are pregnant and we don't suspect ours news will be welcomed with open arms. Though once we let things settle hopefully everyone will be more receptive.

  I told DH the news last night. I taped the whole thing. I had him open a gift on our date. At first he didn't get it when he opened the book, but after he opened the 2nd box (containing the positive test) he was so excited!
