Pregnancy announcements so cute you might just want more kids…

With my first pregnancy, I was so excited and nervous I just blurted out “I’m pregnant” with no cute pregnancy announcement.

But with babies number 2 and 3, I planned a little better and found unique and fun ways to announce a new sibling in the house.  And while our kids don’t always cooperate, there are lots of fun ideas for telling friends and family about a new baby.

So don’t afraid to get creative!

5 ways to announce a pregnancy when you already have children

Of course, there are way more than five ways to tell the world you’re going to have a baby. But while that little peanut is growing, let your imagination run wild. And if you come up with another great one, feel free to comment and let us know! (You’re pictures are also welcome 😉 )

Collect some pine cones for a cute outdoorsy pregnancy announcement

When I was personally pregnant with #3, I had no idea. And we were on vacation in the White Mountains hiking when I found out at 10 weeks. So we made it a family endeavor to find a variety of sizes of pine cones to announce and it’s still one of my favorite baby announcement ideas. 

Do you see what I see? Another little pine cone soon to fall not far from the Carrero tree. 🌳🌱 Coming December 2016. #pregnancyannouncement #pregnant #momlife #baby3 #babynumber3 #kidbloggersofig #parentingblogger #pinecone #familyphoto #growingfamily #growingababy #motherhoodunplugged #pregnancyunplugged #pregnancy #preggo #bunintheoven #duedecember2016

Notify friends and family of a new baby with a sibling movie poster

Get an awesome photo that funny, horrific, or otherwise memorable and make it into a coming soon movie poster. You could make a parody of a family favorite, spoof your child’s favorite movie, or use a funny phrase to “invent” your own movie.

For instance, maybe your kiddo’s favorite film is Finding dory and they have a magnifying glass looking at mom’s tummy with a little dory on it. Or maybe you use a phrase like “28 days late”. Or maybe spoof something like Sleepless in Seattle, Boss Baby, Knocked up, or some other funny title.

Don’t forget to grab some pregnancy shirts just for fun.
