Last night on the MTV VMA’s, Beyonce let the cat out of the bag by non-nonchalantly rubbing her maternity panel pants at the end of her performance. No words were said- just a proud grin on a glowing face of a new mama-to-be.
The moment gave me chills.
Announcing your pregnancy and seeing the look of excitement and happiness mixed in with a little bit of surprise has to be one of the most exciting moments for parents .
I mean did you see the look on Jay-Z’s face?
It made me remember our creative pregnancy announcement and how we were exploding with excitement to see the look on everyone’s face.
Can you imagine making the reveal in front of millions?
When we found out we were expecting our second child, we were scheduled to do the annual family photo– that my mother practically demands for her birthday every year. So we decided to go to the studio before the rest of the family to take this picture:
When we got the print, we wrapped it up for my mother’s birthday mixed in with the other shots. She was SHOCKED- so was the rest of the family who took the other pictures with us later that day.
To announce to our friends we had valentine day cards made up to send out, and one by one the phone calls rolled in – it was a lot of fun… and we were sure we had the most creative pregnancy announcement EVER…
until tonight at the VMA’s – Thanks a lot, B!
How did you announce your pregnancy?
