The BIG announcement

You know it's time to announce your pregnancy when...

1. ...sorting vacation pictures to find photos that don't reveal your baby bump becomes a two-week process

2. ...the "decoy drinking" tactic of ordering two glasses of beer when out with friends is resulting in too many calories for your husband

3. ...your realtor congratulates you on the pending addition while touring your apartment for needed repair work

4. ...your toddler likes your new belly button so much he's always trying to see it in public

5. ...you're dying to put one of those pregnancy timelines on your blog

6. ...all your clothes are elastic or the shape of a potato sack

7. ...after four months your husband finally notices you aren't joining him for sushi or a glass of wine anymore (just kidding)

8. ...to those polite inquiries (intended to elicit a confession) of "are you planning to have any more children?” you've begun answering “not once we find out what’s causing this condition"

9. ...you want to share your wonderful news with all your family and friends, as well as give them ample time to come up with nicknames

10. ...you want to post this picture

Due: January 25th, my brother's birthday
