Last year we included a copy of the sonogram in each card. On the top it said "Our family has grown" and the bottom said "Baby Xxxxx due June 27, 2006"

I just want to let some of the people that I haven't talked to in a while or the one I just do x-mas cards for to know that we are expecting. I just was looking to combine an announcement of my pregancy with the cards. We don't know what we're having, so I'm not announcing that. Thanks for all the ideas!

Same here.

Everyone that I want to know already knows already and those who don't yet will know with an announcement.

I like this one! Thanks a lot. I am superstitious about a lot of things, but not about telling people that I am pregnant. There are just some old friends and distant family members that I don't speak to on the phone that do not know that I am pregnant yet & we always catch up on things through Christmas cards. I think it is nicer to tell them now at 17 weeks that for them to find out once the baby is born. Thanks again for the input.

Thanks - I thought it was cute. I wanted to tell people who we haven't called (only called immediate family including aunts and uncles and close friends) especially because many will be invited to the shower and I don't want that to be the first time they hear about it.

Im curious too. I have never seen that and please dont be mad at me for saying this but it sounds strange and I think would be strange to look at or hang up along with other christmas cards. If you sent them to immediate family only I can understand that-( your parents and grandparents).
I would have used your avatar pic and photoshoped it to add christmas pictures around you guys.

That is more or less what I meant as well.

Grandparents and sisters, brothers yes...

I guess I was stuck in my old way of thinking , that God forbid you sent that to soemone dealing with Infertility that you werent aware of , how painful that would be.

That was kinda what I meant.....

Donna, you're right!! DH's cousin has been battling with infertility for 6 years and she doesnt know I know and if she received that card omg , I know it would kill her. To see a sonogram, I mean. the kissing belly is adorable though nothing wrong with that and including baby on the way sayings like that is fine but pics eh I wouldnt do.

Re: announcing pregnancy in x-mas cards

last year we got a card from friends saying

"First came love...
then came marriage...
well you know the rest"

Happy Holidays
Love X, X and baby on the way

It was cute, particularly since they had just gotten married a few months before and I didn't know she was preggo yet.
