Fun Ways To Announce Your Pregnancy

Since none of our family know that we're ttc, there's NO WAY that when it finally happens, we're just gonna tell them in a boring old way.  So here are some cute and fun ways to announce your pregnancy!  :D

Sonogram gift
Make copies of your sonogram and wrap it up in a cute little gift box.  Give it to them next time you see them.

Printed T-shirts
Have the announcement printed on a t-shirt and wear it next time you see them,eg:

• "bun in the oven" 
• one for you saying "mum to be" and one for your husband "dad to be"
• "coming in May" with a pic of a baby underneath (use whatever month your baby will be due)
• "brand new mum"  & "brand new dad" with an "established in 2012" beneath it (use whatever year baby was made)
• "mum in training" & "dad in training"
• "(your surname) in the making", with an arrow pointing to your belly below
• "baby under construction, check back in May" (use whatever month baby is due), or use a cute baby pic with "under construction" beneath it
• print a pic of a "baby on board" sign on the shirt
• "look what I got" with an arrow pointing toward your belly, and a pic of a bun in an oven where your belly is
• at the top of your shirt print "(egg pic) + (cute spermie) =" , with an arrow pointing down toward your belly and "baby (your surname)" printed where your belly is
• print a cute pic like the one below . . . hehehe!

Bun in the oven
Bake some muffins, wrap up a single muffin for everybody and tie with a tag saying "we have a bun in the oven".  (wrap the muffin in clear wrapping paper / cellophane, otherwise the whole purpose of the muffin will be lost)

Pink & blue cupcakes
This is a cute idea if you're telling a group of people, like the whole family at the same time or making an announcement at your office.  Bake some cupcakes and ice half with pink and half with blue icing, and put a + on each of them.  Wait for them to click. :)

Photo frame
Get a 3-photo frame, place a photo of you in the first photo, your husband in the second and a photo of your + pregnancy test or a copy of your sonogram in the 3rd one.  Display it in a prominent place when you're having guests and wait for it to be noticed, or wrap it as a gift.  Or just frame the sonogram and gift that.

Say it on a plate
Invite everybody over for dinner.  Have some plates or dessert bowls painted with a message on the bottom (eg "we're pregnant!" or "baby (your surname) on the way" etc).  Make sure you dish up their food or dessert, then wait until they finish their food and see the message at the bottom.

Get the doggy in on it
Print a shirt for doggy to wear, saying something like "I'm not the only baby anymore" or "I'm getting another sister or brother" and wait for someone to notice it.
