Telling the family

How did you tell the family your having 2 under 2? I'm 9 weeks with baby no. 2 and want to do a special type of announcement but not sure how. Last time I got my mum a baby grow that said coming soon and my nana a photo frame with a scan photo that said something about becoming a great nana. This time I wanted to do 1 thing for everyone like a photo shoot with our little girl and frame the photo or maybe a party where we tell everyone? I just don't know. My mum is also going in for surgery soon and won't be able to visit us for about 3 weeks if not more as neither me nor my partner drive. Please share how you told everyone about baby no. 2

We just showed everyone the ultrasound😂😂 same as we did with our first

Put a T-shirt on my eldest saying I’m going to be a big brother! Took some people ages to realise 😂

We put a jumper on my eldest that said big brother and just waited to see when the families would realise

Yes to the above! Do a party, tell people it's just a summer get together then have your little one wear a big sister top!

We combined the first birthday party with the announcement (to our family at home after the actual party) We had a scan photo that we showed everyone! We wanted a shirt too but it didn’t arrive in time!

We announced at Christmas, so we tied it in with presents. My partner picked out mugs with nana/poppa on and the years our babies are born/due. And I snuck in a candle I found on etsy for my parents with the 'scent' of 'smells like you're going to be grandparents again'

These are sweet ideas. Baby no. 2 is due around Christmas. I want a big sister tshirt but can't seem to find one that doesn't come with a little sister matching tops. I have found a baby vest that says "I love my big sister"

Matalan have a lot of them xx

@Natalya they're all too big 😭 she's only just in 12-18 months clothes and still wears a lot of 9-12 tshirts. I can't find one small enough for her

I got one in 9-12 for my little boy from Vinted! (As said didn’t come in time but that’s the risk with Vinted I guess)
