Congrats!
What a darling announcement; I'll bet Mr. Bubby is happy about his soon-to-be status!
My many pregnancies usually announced themselves, long before I was ready to do so.
Congratulations....I'm very excited for you.
My daughter announced her last pregnancy on her blog with a very cute picture of her 2 girls holding signs.....the younger one's saying "I'm going to be a big sister" and the older one's saying "again"
Congratulations! The second one doubles the fun!
Hooray! Our daughter announced her second pregnancy (when "big brother" was only 8 months old) by asking me, "How soon can you retire?"
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE! Oh my gosh, Lisa! I'm SO excited for you! Uh, and the rest of your family, too, of course! I'm grinning from ear to ear. Congratulations!
Congratulations Megan, Preston and Bubby.........but most of all Congrats Lisa! Looking forward to the stories this new blessing will bring!
So happy for you all !!!

What a beautiful boy! Congratulations on the exciting news.
My oldest is nearly 20 so I've started anticipating the grandma idea. I can wait, but I'll be excited when it happens.
Congratulations on your SITS day. I hope it brings you lots of new followers and tons of comment love.
Off to check out some of your other posts.
Congratulations!! What great news!
To answer your question: My boss guessed I was pregnant at 7 weeks and she has a big mouth. So even though I wanted to wait longer, I waited only to 8 weeks (Halloween) to tell my coworkers, who were like a family to me anyways so it wasn't too bad. I said I would announce my "costume" at our potluck later that day even though I was just wearing jeans and a sweater. When everyone was there I asked people to gather 'round. Right before my announcement, a coworker asked "Is your costume under your sweater?" Haha. So I announced my costume like this: "I'm a pregnant lady!"
And happy SITS Day to you as well (where I'm visiting from today)!
Congrats! I hope you get that grand daughter!!
Congrats that is wonderful news!!! Hopefully you will get the granddaughter and really see "the curse" play out. I am visiting from SITS, you have a wonderful blog, and Bubby is absolutely adorable!
Awe, my little one has that polkadott'd duck in orange. Hehe.
Congrats on being grandma a SECOND time around! Awesome!
Found you at SITS, totally along for the ride now!
How cool! I don't think I'm going to get any new grandbabies, so I'm a wee bit envious. But I guess seven is a nice number.
My daughter clued me in on her pregnancy by giving me a special gift at Christmas--a pair of baby booties. Lots of parents tuck a ultrasound image into a card or gift to announce the news.
That's such a cute idea! Congratulations!!!
Stopping in from SITS.
What a wonderful announcement!
CONGRATULATIONS! You must be so excited!
I'm so excited for you!
I knew my son and daughter-in-law were having a baby so the day they had the first ultra sound they invited me over to see if it was a boy or girl. It was twin boys! That was a real surprise. They are now 6 years old.
Congrats! How exciting! Happy SITS day!
Congratulations! I must have missed this announcement when I was away this weekend. My husband and I are both gemini's :)
I'm expecting grandson number two in March! It will be fun to have two precious little ones to love.
