Re: The Announcements Thread!
I’ll add a picture in the spoiler of what I posted on social. We just got a set of those “OH BABY” balloons but I got an extra one to say “OH BABY BABY” instead. Captioned it: “Adding not just one but two to our crew. Our TWINS are due May 2021!”
My husband made a video compilation of our hiking photos where I was wearing our other two kids and the end says "the next adventure is yet to come" with the sound of the babies heartbeat playing over it.

@texas_t that’s so adorable!
You might have heard a rumor,
we're confirming that it's true,
our little family's growing,
we'll now be three, not two!

my other friends and family I’m really not seeing much of because of COVID anyway... I only have Instagram, so I’m just going to keep it head up, mostly of my other kids... then just post a picture of me in May with my brand new baby, surprise! Haha. I don’t know why I don’t want to announce this time. Maybe because I have three already... idk. I just want to keep this little baby ours.
If I can last until I find out the gender, I might just change my profile pic and insert a pregnant belly or an extra kid of the right gender. And then just wait and see if anyone notices.

@brynn_mamaof4 @yellingbanana a friend of mine just had her eighth (6 bio + 2 bonus) and didn't announce the pregnancy, only made a Facebook post after the baby was born. Some of the reactions were very funny.
We live in a 300 square foot tiny house with our 4 year old and two cats. It's gonna be squishy haha
