all my son’s announcements

These five pictures were my big announcements throughout my pregnancy and the birth of my son.

1️⃣ this is the picture I took the day I got the positive test. I told my husband in person, then sent this picture to my mom and my best friend.

2️⃣ this picture is also from that first day, but later. I didn’t announce to many people at first, but one group I told immediately was my roller derby team. It was the middle of our season so I had to tell them I wouldn’t be skating anymore, and I found the best way to do it. We had a COVID exposure at an event and had to all show a negative test before we could return to practice - I had taken the COVID test in the morning, a few hours before finding out I was pregnant. I sent the second picture with “instructions unclear - out for the season”

3️⃣ this was my general announcement to friends and family on Facebook. I thought it was funny and a very me way to announce 🤷🏻‍♀️

4️⃣ this was our gender and name reveal. The whole “son’s day” thing was going around Facebook that day so it seemed as good a day as any to announce it

5️⃣ finally, this was the first picture I posted after he was born. Looking back at it I absolutely can’t believe how tiny he was!
