Saw a thing that On Pinterest that we're totally going to do. Husband is going to have a full glass of beer and sitting beside it will be an empty glass of wine with a sticky saying "do not refill till August".
We hand have only told the kids so far. My 11 year old essentially said we were liars since we said my now 14 month old was our last (which we thought was the case.) He also asked if there were ways to prevent pregnancy. Lol. He's actually a sweet kid who will get over it. I told him sometimes things happen you don't plan on and he should be glad for that since he was one of them. I think we will let everyone else know at the end of the month when I get a big sister shirt in the mail for my youngest. Thinking of lining the kids down the stairs with her at the bottom and seeing how long it takes people to notice it.
A bit late to this group as well. I found out I was pregnant the 19th of December and wanted to surprise DH on Christmas morning, but his parents were coming over and I didn't think he could keep it a secret from them. I already have a 4 year old and wanted to make a valentines announcement or a 'player one, player two loading' photo for Facebook friends and family and work. I didn't want to tell family (as they are dramatic!) until after an ultrasound, which is this week. My two best friends know and husband's best friend knows.
Also, I had my son walk up to daddy randomly and tell him that "mommy has a baby growing in her belly"
hahaha my husband was in shock that our little knew first!
We are far too fearful to announce this one anytime soon. So just my BF knows as of now. I've already been put on bedrest so I assume my friends and family members will be able to figure it out soon.
We put a big sister shirt on DD for both set of grandparents this weekend. My mother just didn't get it. We have a friend living with us right now until his friends get a bigger place. He doesn't know so we're putting an inviction notice on his door for when he come homes lol.
Told our immediate family and started telling some close friends at 9w. I just made/ordered these today to send out our extended family and friends on Valentine's Day which will be just a few days shy of 14w, though, I feel like I am too excited to wait!

We told our parents and immediate family before Christmas with a little postcard with the news on it Then we told our aunts, uncles and cousins the day after our first prenatal appointment (we were 10 weeks and we heard the heartbeat). We shared with our closest friends that day too! Today we are 12 weeks - I wore a t-shirt that says "We're hoping it's a kitten" in the belly area to "announce" to my co-workers. So the cat is out of the bag now! We're excited along with everyone else!!
We announced to immediate family early. I had JUST had a conversation with my mom the week before my bfp about how my FS was putting me on clomid for my December cycle and she was all worried. Then like a week later we found out we wouldn't need clomid and since my DD knew and would be at grandmas for the night we had to tell or she'd spill the beans. So, I bought a "grandkidS" (emphasis on the s) pic frame and put a note inside that said Grandkid #2 coming August 2017 and wrapped it up like an Xmas gift. This was about 10 days before Xmas. She was confused when I gave her the gift bag and asked if it would explode because it was Xmas yet, lol. She had a super shocked face and then cried when she read the note. We told my in-laws the next day bc they too would be alone with our DD that weekend. We did the same thing, frame with a note and I put a "living the good life at grandmas" onesie in there too. My hubbys mom is not emotional, like at all, so her reaction was a little anticlimactic. His dad was excited and started chanting "boy, boy". We'd have the first grandson or the sixth granddaughter. And hubby is the only son so he's expected to keep the name alive. We told my dad and his family on Christmas when we were with them. Dad and stepmom solo, grands and aunts/uncles/cousins at Xmas dinner by giving my grandparents a card that said they've been such great, great-grandparents that we wanted to give them another great grandbaby. They knew we'd been trying over a year and my gpa was so surprised. Everyone then asked us one million questions, lol. we didn't tell my best friend (maid of honor and best man at our wedding) until 8 weeks because we couldn't get together in person until then. We had a shirt for my DD that said "only child expiring 2017" and met them for brunch, she was wearing the shirt and we asked her to be subtle and let them notice it. Best man got suspicious when he asked what I was drinking and I said apple juice (they had mimosas, hubby had a beer) then he read DD shirt and kept quiet but gave us a look. I said "she hasn't noticed yet" and we all laughed a little, he then told the MOH that there was something on DD shirt, she thought we meant there was food on HER face and kept rubbing her face. Lol!! She FINALLY read DDs shirt and burst into tears. They also knew we'd been trying a long time and seeing specialists. A few coworkers know bc I'm close to them, one knows bc I am a chemist and had to tell that I can't do certain tests any longer.
We plan on doing a public announcement on Valentine's Day, probably a photo shoot. I'll be embarking on the second trimester then so we'll be ready to share the news with the world.
Haven't posted it publically yet, but we are going to post this pictures once we are ready. I might not write anything on the post and wait for people to notice the book DD is holding.
We got our BFP on Dec 1. Since it was so close to Christmas, we wanted to wait until then to tell our parents. My group of best friends figured it out before though and pulled it out of me. 11+4 today, and pretty much all of our friends know and some of our extended family. We found out the gender yesterday through NIPT, and I'm even more bursting at the seams to tell the world now!! I think we are going to wait until the end of February to do a facebook announcement. We live in the south and that's Mardi Gras time, so we want to use that to announce it.
I'm so excited - we finally to DS last night he's going to be a big brother! He jumped up and down and asked to touch my belly. Then asked if the baby could sleep in his bed, haha. He just turned 6 so he's very excited to help, well as much as a 6 year old can. We were holding off telling him until I made it through first tri and we got a good bill of health through genetic testing. I'm so lucky to have such a sweet boy who's going to be an amazing big brother! As for the rest of the world we will do a photo session with our son and let him "announce" if for us :-)
Since this is our last baby, I've decided to go full on goofy with it. I've re-written the words to "Baby One More Time" and DH is going to Live FB me singing karaoke tonight with my lyrics. lol.
Wife. Mom. Doula. Photographer. BFP #1- 12/26/2011- DS Born 9/7/12 BFP#2- 10/16/2014- DD Born 7/2/15 SURPRISE! BFP#3- 11/29/16- EDD 8/6/17
I want to announce on Valentine's day. I will be 12w by then. My MIL cannt wait to announce our baby. I am not as excited. Dont want to drag negative attention to my baby!
We told our families at Christmas but just recently posted this on Facebook land and said there was room at the table for one more. Followed with the hashtag no we aren't trying for a boy! Lol
I took this picture and then made valentine's day cards to send out with this on the front. On the back is a picture of my husband and dog and me holding the sonogram pictures!
We're announcing to close friends tomorrow So I did this up (all DH's buddies are Detroit Lions fans - que heckling). Excited but also so nervous! 13 weeks tomorrow so I need to start trusting all will be ok! Were going to do a more public announcing on Family Day (Canada) later in the month.
We are announcing on Valentine's day to the world! Just took this pic yesterday Family, some friends, and co-workers already know.. It was a lot harder to hide my bump this time around lol
My husband and I are announcing this week (as soon as I tell work, my boss has been out). We met teaching flying Trapeze at a circus camp-thus the pic theme. Plus, we know gender so the smoke and onesie colors were very intentional. We're adding some text tonight.
TW: 1 infant loss 8/17: Our daughter was born 8/18: Our daughter kicked open heart surgery ass 2/19: We lost our son to Prader-Willi/Paradoxical Vocal Cord/ Noonans at 6wks old 4/26/2020: EDD for baby #3!!!
I took a picture of my 4 year old holding a sign that says, "If I could read, I would already know that I'm a big brother." We'll announce on social media once the rest of the family knows.
Doting wife. Mama to a 4 year old son. Big dreamer.
I finally told my mom and her husband last night!!! I pulled up a picture on my phone of us at the Women's March and told her that there was really something special about the photo. She guessed that it was because we all look so nice and I told her "actually it's because your third grandchild is in this picture." Her reaction was so cute, she looked SHOCKED and then she started to sob. I was excepting screaming and jumping for joy, so to get such a different reaction was so sweet.
She wasn't mad that we waited until 12 weeks to spill the beans, in fact she understood all our reasonings behind it.
We tell my husband's family tonight and I can't wait now ❤️
Together: January 2002 Married: May 2008 Baby: August 2017
Clearly we like to rush along at lightning speed...
Just posted this publicly today. It took 8364836 different photos this morning right before leaving the house to get a decent one. DD likes to smile for a half second then change it so every picture is between pose.
we announced to our families over the past 2 weekends. yay! so happy that we can finally share in the excitement and it makes me so happy to see all of them so happy . we are telling our close friends this week and then sharing with work etc (before going "public" with anyone else). anxiety city about everyone knowing!
we gave all of our parents gifts --starting with photos from our wedding since we never had any printed. followed with some small valentine's gifts. my mom got a heart shaped box with a necklace inside that says "Oma" (grandma in german) - she stared at it for a minute and was like... WHAT?! then we told my dad to open his gift which was little candies addressed to oma & grandpa with a poem on the back, and underneath a little photo of our sonogram. my husbands mom got the same candy box and sonogram photo -- we couldn't get her to stop crying she was so happy! we also did gender reveal cupcakes afterwards with all of them. super fun!
Re: Announcing
Also, I had my son walk up to daddy randomly and tell him that "mommy has a baby growing in her belly"

We announced to immediate family early. I had JUST had a conversation with my mom the week before my bfp about how my FS was putting me on clomid for my December cycle and she was all worried. Then like a week later we found out we wouldn't need clomid and since my DD knew and would be at grandmas for the night we had to tell or she'd spill the beans. So, I bought a "grandkidS" (emphasis on the s) pic frame and put a note inside that said Grandkid #2 coming August 2017 and wrapped it up like an Xmas gift. This was about 10 days before Xmas. She was confused when I gave her the gift bag and asked if it would explode because it was Xmas yet, lol. She had a super shocked face and then cried when she read the note. We told my in-laws the next day bc they too would be alone with our DD that weekend. We did the same thing, frame with a note and I put a "living the good life at grandmas" onesie in there too. My hubbys mom is not emotional, like at all, so her reaction was a little anticlimactic. His dad was excited and started chanting "boy, boy". We'd have the first grandson or the sixth granddaughter. And hubby is the only son so he's expected to keep the name alive. We told my dad and his family on Christmas when we were with them. Dad and stepmom solo, grands and aunts/uncles/cousins at Xmas dinner by giving my grandparents a card that said they've been such great, great-grandparents that we wanted to give them another great grandbaby. They knew we'd been trying over a year and my gpa was so surprised. Everyone then asked us one million questions, lol. we didn't tell my best friend (maid of honor and best man at our wedding) until 8 weeks because we couldn't get together in person until then. We had a shirt for my DD that said "only child expiring 2017" and met them for brunch, she was wearing the shirt and we asked her to be subtle and let them notice it. Best man got suspicious when he asked what I was drinking and I said apple juice (they had mimosas, hubby had a beer) then he read DD shirt and kept quiet but gave us a look. I said "she hasn't noticed yet" and we all laughed a little, he then told the MOH that there was something on DD shirt, she thought we meant there was food on HER face and kept rubbing her face. Lol!! She FINALLY read DDs shirt and burst into tears. They also knew we'd been trying a long time and seeing specialists. A few coworkers know bc I'm close to them, one knows bc I am a chemist and had to tell that I can't do certain tests any longer.
We plan on doing a public announcement on Valentine's Day, probably a photo shoot. I'll be embarking on the second trimester then so we'll be ready to share the news with the world.
We posted about it publicly early then I would have liked but DD isn't good at keeping it a secret
As for the rest of the world we will do a photo session with our son and let him "announce" if for us :-)

My husband and I are announcing this week (as soon as I tell work, my boss has been out). We met teaching flying Trapeze at a circus camp-thus the pic theme. Plus, we know gender so the smoke and onesie colors were very intentional. We're adding some text tonight.
1 infant loss
8/17: Our daughter was born
8/18: Our daughter kicked open heart surgery ass
2/19: We lost our son to Prader-Willi/Paradoxical Vocal Cord/ Noonans at 6wks old
4/26/2020: EDD for baby #3!!!
Mama to a 4 year old son.
Big dreamer.
This is ours. It will go up the day before Valentines. DS is 6 and has that awkward smile phase going on, haha. But I love it
She wasn't mad that we waited until 12 weeks to spill the beans, in fact she understood all our reasonings behind it.
We tell my husband's family tonight and I can't wait now ❤️
Together: January 2002
Married: May 2008
Baby: August 2017
Clearly we like to rush along at lightning speed...
we are telling our close friends this week and then sharing with work etc (before going "public" with anyone else). anxiety city about everyone knowing!
we gave all of our parents gifts --starting with photos from our wedding since we never had any printed. followed with some small valentine's gifts. my mom got a heart shaped box with a necklace inside that says "Oma" (grandma in german) - she stared at it for a minute and was like... WHAT?! then we told my dad to open his gift which was little candies addressed to oma & grandpa with a poem on the back, and underneath a little photo of our sonogram.
my husbands mom got the same candy box and sonogram photo -- we couldn't get her to stop crying she was so happy!
we also did gender reveal cupcakes afterwards with all of them. super fun!
