How did you announce (if you did) on social media?
-
#1: After we got the results back from the NT scan I posted an ultrasound with the caption "David McK is going to be a daddy, and I'm pretty sure it's mine."
D posted a screen shot from Alien(s?) with the caption: "Attention to All my friends and Family; My wife has a parasite the size of a peach growing inside her womb. The doctors say it will naturally exit the body sometime in early august. Stay tuned."
#2: We waited until after we found at the sex. I posted an ultrasound with a bow on it: "After much debate, Dave and I have decided to get Evan a pink unicorn for Christmas. Apparently the stork did not get the memo that McK's have a long-standing tradition of gracing with world with male children...bring on the pink sparkles!"

1. At 15 weeks - On the day of a big run, I posted that I wouldn't be wearing a race bib but there would be plenty of bibs in our house in October. me and Baby T would be cheering on Daddy who was running.
2. National Sibling Day was when I was about 24 weeks, so I took a pic of DD1 hugging my belly and just said in honor of national sibling day... -
I posted a Ravens onesie after they were knocked out of the playoffs and said something about looking forward to watching with a new fan next year.
-
I posted a picture of us holding a chalkboard sign that said Mom (pointing to me), Dad (pointing to T), and Baby (pointing to my stomach).
-
I posted a pic of me and DH in our Halloween costumes At 20 weeks. Mine was a skeleton w the baby skeleton showing too
-
I posted a picture of me at 20 weeks with a picture of the ultrasound! I waited a long time to post to facebook.
Actually, funny story.
Someone commented on the picture and said, "Whoa! When did this happen?!?!"And I replied, "About 20 weeks ago."
hahaha.
-
On IG at 20 weeks.
-
With our first, we never did. DH posted a pic of me and DD in the hospital. You could immediately tell which friends were actually in touch with us regularly.
With our second, we posted a family pic when I was about 20 weeks. We were on vacation for the 4th of July and so captioned it, "Happy 4th from the four of us!"
-
#1- around 13 weeks posted US
#2- around 13 weeks DS wearing big brother shirt
#3- around 13 weeks all of us wearing "bear shirts" and holding bear that says "baby bear" -
I think it was 13 weeks, we posted this video:
-
#1- Posted a photo of a onesie and the due date around 10 weeks
#2- Posted a photo of LO1 with blocks that said big brother and an ultrasound photo around 12 weeks
-
#1: ultrasound pic at 13 weeks; simple status update when found out the sex & just a picture/stats update when he was born.
#2: I seriously cannot remember! Oh dear. Oh yeah! I took a picture of blue balloons when we found out sex and another pic/stats update when he was born.
#3: around 12 weeks we wrote "big brother 101" on a chalkboard and had lo1 hold it with lo2 sitting in front. Ultrasound picture with a blue crayon on it when we found out sex.
-
We didn't announce on Facebook until either of our babies were born. Then we just posted a photo and said "look what we made!"
-
We're both teachers, so...
This was at 13 weeks, after a good NT scan. -
@mrsjazz: Omg! How adorable!
-
DH posted on both of our accounts after LO was born with the birth announcement. I specifically asked that people not comment about the pregnancy on my Facebook and untagged pics that were too obvious. I just felt weird about it.
-
With a baby pic.
-
For my first I had gifted DH a NFL team onesie for his birthday. So we shared that picture.
With #2, I had a video of DD1 reading a big sister book and saying she was going to be a big sister!
-
With LO, DH posted a video of the heartbeat on Doppler and tagged me in it. It was at 13 weeks.
Not entirely sure what we will do with this one. I'm 14 weeks, so we're going to wait until we know the sex and then post something. All our close friends know already, so it's not much of a reveal.
-
With DS, we had a photographer do some announcement pictures for us and I changed my profile and cover photo.
With DD, I made a lil comic strip with DS wearing a Future Big Brother shirt and his numerous facial expressions.
-
#1 did a first come loves, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage with the dates we started datjng, got married, and then our EDD. Lost the pregnancy about 2 weeks later.
#2 my pastor accidentally outed us online so we just did a quick note saying we were excited to announce a special present at the end of the year (due date was 12/31/12).
#3 posted this pic below around 7-8 weeks
-
@mrsjazz: too cute!
I was 20 weeks on Mother's Day so we posted a picture that day and said we were halfway to the start of our next big adventure.
-
We actually just announced today, after our NT scan yesterday. It was a picture of two big pumpkins and one small pumpkin with a caption that said "We're adding a little pumpkin to our patch!" I'm just over 12 weeks.
-
@wrkbrk: @MrsLonghorn: Thanks! I love that clip. It's so funny that they couldn't say pregnant on TV back then!
-
@mrsjazz: I love this so much! made me cry watching it again, so sweet
We got married in Jan.2011 at a hockey game, the Bruins had just won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 39 years - so we announced that 2011 we were expecting our personal 'hat trick'.
-
For #1 we just put an ultrasound photo on.
For #2 we let our bulldog spread the news
-
@Charm54: love it!!
-
We love board games.
-
I posted a bump picture at 15 weeks.
-
A Facebook status update for #1.
A pic with LO #1 holding an ultrasound of his baby brother. -
We annouced our pregnancy on FB after the NT scan, so around 12 weeks. The first thing my husband bought for the baby was the pedal car (total car geek) so hence the car theme.
For the gender reveal (at about 20 weeks), it was so close to Halloween that we used pumpkins as our props.
-
-
We announced after we found out gender, so I put a lil bow on her ultrasound head. and it read "it's a girl! meeting the world winter 2014"
-
@Charm54: haha I love this for #2 (beside the big sister thing)... B/c that is totally how my dog will think!
-
We did it today - photo of DS holding the scan pictures!
-
@Charm54: oh my gosh this is my absolute favorite! So cute!
-
@mrsjazz: love this!
-
Can't remember for LO#1
For #2, friend threw us a gender reveal gathering and we had the 'it's a boy' balloons from it. just had LO#1 hold it and took a picture.
-
At 12 weeks we announced with a picture I played around with adding our faces to for our daughter.
I hope to be lookng for ideas soon for #2. TWW
