I think I'm going to wait until my 16 week appt, then bring in cupcakes and send out an email to say cupcakes are here and if you haven't noticed yet, I'm pregnant. Maybe that's short and sweet enough.
I hate telling people too. Mostly because after people know that's all they want to talk to me about.
I so agree with this; after people know youre pregnant, it's like youre no longer an individual with interests or a mind of her own--You are now SOLELY a vessel for this new human, and everyone has to suddenly touch you or constantly ask how youre "feeling." I don't mind talking pregnancy but I don't want to discuss it all day every day.

Especially how I'm feeling. I basically never want to talk about that. Like what do you want to know, if I'm puking and miserable and up every two hours peeing? Is that fun for you to know? That's weird.

What I have always wanted to say is something TMI along the lines of "dude, I am so constipated, thanks for asking."

My favorite is people that ask about the baby. Me week 27: How's the baby question happens...well we haven't met yet I don't know the kid.

When DH was still I n the Navy and I could speak bluntly I started telling people I felt like shit at week 35+.
Random sailor: "How do you feel?!" Men: "Like shit, thanks for asking."
We had two versions of our announcement - one we used because my grandma took it, and the second one that I put as my Facebook cover photo (I forgot Scarlett's collar in the first one). Anyway, here's version 2:
I just posted the picture with "our pack is growing in March 2017!"
I loved that you included the pups! I want to include ours somehow.

I just sat through an entire dinner with my brothers in laws and my parents. Most of the night was talking about the baby and unsolicited advice on parenting. I really hate that as soon as people know, that's all they can talk about with me.
We're including our pups in our photoshoot tomorrow! We have a sign that says "Baby Grover guard dog duty begins March 2017". We'll see how well they cooperate!
This is how we announced with DS! Very cute. I hope your photos go well!
renegadewhit Thanks- he definitely is my first baby- haha! I'm not sure when we are going to announce. I want to tell my close friends in person and will be doing that over the next few weeks. I also can't think of a cute idea!
So after having lunch with my cousin yesterday, she told me I'm obviously pregnant and no sense in trying to hide it anymore. She convinced me to tell my coworkers today.

So my pregnancy kind of got announced for me at DH's grad mess dinner Friday night. They do a roast of the grads and their main theme for DH was that he's a "go hard or go home" kind of guy. The MC mentioned how it extended to his home life: only guy on his course to be married, had a baby right before course started, and now with a second one on the way!
It was unexpected since only a couple of the guys knew. At least I was far enough along that I'm fairly okay with people knowing (especially after a good heartbeat at my appointment today, but that hadn't happened yet).
So.. I just got the call from my MFM. The genetic bloodwork came back. All fears of Downs are now in the past! Yay! AND!!! We are definitely having a boy
I just spent way too long making this. What do you guys think? ( I haven't even shown the hubby yet. )
As for the announcement, could you do pairs for the big girls' shoes? It looks a bit off having pairs for your younger kids and single shoes for the older ones.
Found one! Revising now Good point.. I just didn't look down far enough in the image search.. so mean pink heels in that general of a search ^_~
mikaela20 I'm telling my co-workers soon, too. What is accompanying the cupcakes?
It worked out pretty well. I basically wrote an email that said I baked cupcakes over the weekend, so enjoy a sweet treat this morning. And also, I wanted share the news that I'm pregnant and due in March.
It was just 10 mins of people coming by shocked and happy for me after and then it was done.

Part 1 was a flop. We told my husband's family by letting DS wear his big brother shirt to dinner. They didn't notice, so H brought attention to it. "Oh, nice." They thought it was the big brother organization. H was more explicit. "Oooh, good." The end.

LOL I'm so sorry you had to basically spell it out for them. Jeeeeez!
