We don't have FB but this is how I announced on IG. I found a similar pin. We bought the books the day we got our positive, and I have been in love with the stuffed animal for a year, it was the first thing we bought for baby.

So, I haven't done mine but we are planning on something like this but will add the ultrasound pic from our 15 week scan.

We didn't do a photo either time! With DD1 it was just a "we're pregnant!" type thing. This time I put "Preheat oven 40 weeks. Insert bun. Ready April 2015." People loved it. lol

I actually just posted a pic of a jar of Prego tomato sauce and quoted their old slogan, "It's in there". People caught on very quickly!

You guys are all so creative!!
The first was the fortune from a fortune cookie I got a week before I found out I was pregnant.
We used our daughter in our 2nd picture to announce it.

@simplyfelicity: This is our idea for IG too! I didn't think of the announcing part but I am totally stealing it

@Reese: Do it! When are you thinking of announcing? If all goes well at our appointment next Friday, cat's out of the bag!

@simplyfelicity: I'm probably going to wait u til our next appointment/ultrasound at the end of January - maybe mid? I am waiting to tell a lot of people in person first. Still have a few cousins to tell!

I don't have it on my phone, but we did a pic of our shoes plus a pair of baby shoes on the sidewalk near our house. Then I used an app to write "The ... Family is growing by two feet. Baby ... Expected April 2014. I saw it all over pinterest but our friends and family really liked it.

We just posted the ultra sound pic for the first. For our second, we posted this pic. It makes me cry a little seeing my first DD so little! (She was 14 months here, and she'll be 3 in April ).

Ooh I was so proud of ours! We included our fur babies (well not the 2 cats, too hard to wrangle).

I used this! The first commenter said, "Al forno?" Hehe.
ETA: My caption said, "New project expected to launch next February."

I posted our 12 week scan 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 whatever Alien movie had the thing come out of the guy's chest with the caption (paraphrased) "My wife currently has a parasite growing inside of her. Doctors expect it will exit her body naturally sometime in early August." Classy guy, I know!

Here are our two announcements. We announced this pregnancy on Thanksgiving, and I adore how it turned out. DD was such a good little poser.

Well we had a LO who wasn't really cooperating so we used it to our advantage in our announcement

love all these ideas! When I was pregnant with LO, i found pic online of a bun in an oven and changed it to my profile pic, then later in the day I posted the ultrasound with a status announcement of gender and due date.
I think the next time I am pregnant (hopefully soon!), I will do something that announces LO is a big brother.

I love this thread! All of these announcements are so much fun. With #1 we just posted an ultrasound picture and with #2 I postes DS in a big brother shirt. It was adorable (he was only 5 months when it was taken) but I won't share as this isn't gold.

@MrsBrewer: I haven't yet! Sister, SIL and MIL have all referred to it/me without tagging me. I don't know how or when I want to announce. I don't think I want to use an u/s pic. And work still doesn't know!

All the others are so cute and creative as well!
