Telling your family that you're expecting is so exciting, especially if your loved ones have been not-so-patiently pushing for babies for a long time. And though it can be tempting to just blurt it out, the best announcements I've seen are from couples who got really creative and came up with some truly amazing ways to share the news.
Below, check out 12 of the most awesome ways to tell everyone a little one is on the way!
Big brother/sister
 
															If you already have one child, you can let everyone know that they're going to be a big brother or sister by posing them with a sign or in this case, a chalkboard. Looks like this little guy is excited about being a sibling!

															What better way to let everyone there's a "Bump Ahead" than with a traffic-stopping sign?!
