This is our first so we were trying to come up with some cute ideas for when we announce.
We made a sign for our beagle. It says "Big Fur Sister in Training.... " across the top. Then it says "Official Start date April 2015" We will take a picture of that with her next to it to post on FB when the time comes. We will put the first u/s picture on the sign also.
With my 2nd I just took a pic of my son in his "I'm going to be a big brother" shirt. This time around I have a collage with a picture of my older 2 together, then one of my daughter in her "I'm going to be a big sister" shirt, one of my son with a sign that says "April 2015" (my estimated due date is May 2nd but I'm pretty sure it will get bumped up and even if it doesn't baby will probably come early lol
Then I am also going to have the ultrasound pic on there (just have to edit it into the pic once we get it). On the top left it says "the best things in life come in small packages" on the right it says "1 2 3" then on the bottom left it says the kids names followed by and... (then there will be the ultrasound) lol I will be posting my announcement pic on Tuesday after I get my ultrasound
Other good ideas I have seen are to get the whole family together and take a pic of everyone's shoes and have some baby shoes as well with the caption "our family is growing by two feet"
and a picture of the older child holding a onesie with the due date of the new baby
we are doing shoes!! Just a picture of hubbys shoes, my shoes and beside us some little baby shoes. we will be standing wearing our shoes and obviously the little shoes will be in the middle. you could do the three of you with and empty fourth pair
My husband is military so we are putting did in his cap with a sign that says up for promotion. Another picture that says so I'm practicing my CLS with dh myself and all her baby dolls wrapped in bandages, another picture that says studying my field manual and a book that says field guide to being a big sister and the last picture will say boards are meeting may 6th ( my edd)
We are doing photos of DS1 holding a blackboard saying "#1" DS2 holding one that says "#2" and me holding one that says "#3" while pointing to my stomach
We're going to take a photo of me holding dd. Then we're going to caption it with an arrow pointing to dd saying 'this one was made in China' and then another arrow pointing to my bump saying 'this one was homegrown'.
The original idea was supposed to say 'this one was too' but then we conceived while we were on holiday back home so have had to alter the idea.
The other option is I have an d fashioned template with space for four photos so we could put one picture of each of us and then a scan in the last one.
This was actually taken a month or two ago before I was actually pregnant, but I think I will use this pic to announce on Facebook, titled " big sisters practicing for the new baby" or something like that...
