expatmama11, I love that! We've been referring to baby as our second Thanksgiving turkey since we're due exactly a week after. I've been thinking about finding some way to incorporate that when we eventually announce on social media.

I've been thinking about finding some way to incorporate that when we eventually announce on social media. I paid $6 on Etsy for it and will upload/print it out at Walgreens. DS is a N15 baby so it seemed fitting for us to use a turkey reference too.

We called my daughter The Turkey my whole pregnancy (she was due the week before thanksgiving) and she decided to spite us and wait to come until Thanksgiving Day, 8 days past EDD. Calling this one The Pumpkin in the hopes that he/she will decide to come on time!!

We told my side of the family over the weekend. We still need to find some time to tell my H's side. It feels good letting the cat out of the bag. I think we will do a social media announcement after I get to meet with my OB about the NT scan results next week.

I love all these announcements!! We’re Skyping with my MIL on Mother’s Day, and are going to tell her then (well, DS is going to tell her. He’s so excited to be a big brother!!). 😁
I’ve been trying to figure out something to do for social media, and it will probably be Thanksgiving related, as it’s my favorite holiday, this baby is a miracle we’re so thankful for, and I’m due right around then. Just haven’t figured it out yet. I always do elaborate Thanksgiving meals, so I might take an older photo I have and say something about needing to add another chair to the table? IDK.

Aww love it librariangirl. We announced to MIL and FIL with a Mother’s Day card signed by the whole family. They were so surprised and happy. So that was nice. Assuming everything looks good at our appointment on Wednesday we will start telling close friends and family as we see them and will wait a while for the SM announcment. Also planning on waiting as long as I can to tell DS. I am so excited to tell him but so nervous of something going wrong.

So so cute librariangirl! We FaceTimed both of our parents yesterday to tell them. I don’t think we’re going to do a widespread announcement on FB this time. Today I’m calling my brother and sister to tell them.

My son is obsessed with The Hulk so at some point when we announce we will do something with him dressed as hulk with the Thor hammer next to him and an ultrasound pic saying every superhero needs a sidekick.

We announced on Facebook today after my 12 week appt. We are nerds so we posted the below picture with the caption "there is another" (that's a Star Wars reference for those of you who don't Star Wars, lol). PDQ

Need to promote the Leia love Yes my girls are big Rey fans also, although my littlest also really likes Sabine from the Star Wars Rebels and Forces of Destiny cartoons. I found that shirt at Target a couple years ago and while I don't think they have it anymore, I've seen some similar ones on Etsy!

She has the Rey and Sabine dolls, and (and Jyn Erso and Leia that I have hidden in the closet that got on clearance). I'll have to check out Etsy, she doesn't have a Rey or Leia shirt yet and that's a tragedy Need to decide what to get MH for Father's day anyway, usually I get matching t-shirts for him and DD (and now a onesie for baby)

Dramaphile, check out Gap, they have some really cute Star Wars kids and baby stuff. That's where we got the Yoda shortie in the pic and we also got an adorable onesie with Luke, Leia and C3PO. Also, I've ordered a couple shirts from Fifth Sun, they have a huge selection of girls Star Wars shirts.
