Pregnancy & Gender Announcements

Something I hold near and dear to my heart are the pregnancy and gender announcements my husband and I have created together to announce to our friends and family. Each of the three times (I’m currently at the very end of pregnancy 3# yay!) we have announced to our families with a photo. This last one has to be one of my favorites that we put a photo in the bottom of a pie dish and announced at Thanksgiving. So as everyone cut into the pie to serve it, they found our announcement! My amazing friend Laura, with Little Lark Designs made me a shirt that I had under my zipped up jacket all through dinner. But here are all the fun ways we have announced to everyone!!! Enjoy!

Our very first self portrait pregnancy with our son. We printed this and gave it to parents in a gift bag

One of my favorite self-portraits I have ever done to announce on Facebook

We made scratch off cards for our families for our first pregnancy

We knew the gender but did a reveal for on Facebook with Holi powder since we did our engagements at the Holi Festival

Boy!

Our pregnancy announcement we printed and gave to our families for our second pregnancy

This reveal we actually did not know the gender, a friend set it up and used my camera for me

I took over with the camera to get a few close ups

And our gender reveal for number 3. We were both positive it was a girl so it came as quite a shock since a friend set it up and used my camera- we had no clue
