Following! I don't have pics yet since it's so early, but I am thinking using DD in a Big Sister shirt and H and I holding her hands

We didn't announce with DD. A lot of acquaintances on FB didn't find out until my SIL posted something when DD was born.
I'm not sure if we will do anything for this one either. If we do it will probably only be sent to family.

With Ava we took a picture of a teddy bear (gift from my parents) next to a framed picture of an ultrasound and posted "Baby Z coming January 2016".
With this baby we are waiting to announce after the nuchal scan/end of 1st trimester and are planning on making a onsie that says "Handpicked for Earth by my Sister in Heaven". We may get my sister to help take a picture of the two of us holding the onsie or we may just take a picture of the onsie itself.
I announced to DH that we were pregnant by making a onsie (I have a Cricut and can cut iron on vinyl among other things) that said "I am a Jedi like my father before me (in a Star Wars font). Unless Hogwarts sends me a letter like my monther (in a Harry Potter font)". It turned out so cute!

This is what we did with DD, and wrote something about how we're "flying high" with the news of our little one-- bc DH is a pilot. This time we're waiting to announce until we know what we're having so we will probably have DD holding ultrasound pic & "DD is getting a baby sister/brother!!" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For DS, we held up a onesie that said "for this child we have prayed".
This time I have a brother bear shirt for DS and if all goes well, I'll probably put a caption that says something like "double the trouble, and twice the fun, look out world, there's MORE than one."

I need an idea too. For DD, she was due the 4th of July, and we made a movie poster that said "coming this Independence day, the benandjerrys lose their Independence".

DS-we found out I was pregnant with him in December. So we bought 3 stockings, hung them on our mantle, and at Christmas showed our parents "our new gift". My sister video taped my parents reaction so that was fun, he is also the first grandchild on both sides.
My grandma bought me this shirt for Valentines Day then, so we put a post up on FB thanking her and wishing everyone a happy Valentines Day.
Poof ][/URL]
DD- I took the test after H went to work. So I managed to keep the secret from him all day. DS and I made him a little sign and I took pics of him giving it to him. When we were ready to make it "FB official" I shared the pictures. poof This time we had DS tell my mom at the end of DD's family BBQ a couple weeks ago. I shared that story then, but the gist is our families were super happy emotional about all finding out together. We are still the only ones having kids on both sides, so our kids are all the grandkids haha.
We are going camping in Banff next month and already had plans to meet up with a friend of mine who is a photographer. After I told her she was pregnant, she came up with an idea and offered to take a picture of us to share. She wants to do some sort of "adding s'more toes" camping themed pic hehe, but we haven't talked details yet. We'll see what we come up with by then!

We won't really announce formally any way probably except for when I go back to school in the fall, my work BFF and I have a plan. Her EDD is Jan 19 and mine is Feb 7, so no one at work will know until we are back in August and we plan to take a pic of our boys this summer in big brother t-shirts (my DS is almost 2 and hers will be in the fall) and put the pic up on the fridge at work to see who notices. If they don't see that we look all puffy by then right away of course.

I love all these ideas! I don't know what we are going to do yet, but we probably aren't going to announce on social media until we know the sex, which will be around 18-20 weeks for me, so I have quite a bit of time to think about it!

Here's how we announced DD with my stepkids. We get them the next 2 weeks so I have to figure some thing out for this lo. We usually get family pictures while they are here so if I can wait for editing... Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
