We’ve been harbouring a little secret in our house: I’m pregnant and baby number three is on the way!

It’s a relief to finallyΒ be able to let the cat out of the bag – due to ourΒ history of miscarriage we wanted to wait until we passed the 12 week mark before saying anything, just in case.

I'm pregnant main

But so far so good, and given I seemed to pop straight away (I’m blaming shot-to-pieces stomach muscles) there was no hiding it for much longer.

Earlier this summer IΒ wrote aΒ post on quirky ways to announce you’re expecting which gave me some great ideas for making our own announcement, and I thought long and hard about how to do it.

I love blackboard/whiteboard ones, so that’s what we did when we made our announcement on social media this week.

I'm pregant

I must admit I was rather pleased with the way it turned out!

I have to say, though, thatΒ I’ve been surprised at the reaction – with baby number one and baby number two we received nothing but congratulations, but this time round there’s been lots of comments asking if we’re:

a) Mad
b) Bonkers
c) Crazy

This hadn’t occurred to me, and it’s made me wonder –Β are weΒ mad, bonkers or crazy? Or all three?

Either way, it’s a bit late now!
