On January 6th, 2014 I found out I was pregnant with our sweet Addie and we had a blasting planning our Valentine’s pregnancy announcement to share the news with our parents. I briefly shared the announcement on my blog but felt like it was the perfect time to revisit such a wonderful announcement and share more of the pictures individually that we took.
I love this little conversation hearts banner I made. They say “and then there were three…” and were double hole punched, put onto twine, and in between each heart I had different color ribbon. We found this fun red wall here in Waco, and it was perfect for our plan! It was absolutely freezing that day, but we had a blast!

Our photographer, Rhonda Williams of Photography by Legacy Imaging, added the letters we wanted on the conversation hearts with Photoshop and I love how it turned out for the valentine’s pregnancy announcement! It was a little difficult to keep the candies positioned just right, but it was perfectly executed.
I met my friend, Amy, from Sweet Elise online and I was smitten with her cookies. I asked her to make us some for our conversation hearts valentine’s pregnancy announcement photo shoot and she nailed them! How cute are these conversation heart cookies? Ever since then, we’ve been getting cookies from her for our big gender reveal party, the cutest lemonade first birthday party ever, and her adorable zoo themed 2nd birthday party (which I’ve yet to blog about because #slacker.) Her cookies are adorable and way delicious, and I won’t use anyone else for cookies. I don’t even care that I have to drive to Austin to get them either!
Our little Addie, the blueberry! She was so teeny tiny back then. Our lives have been a complete whirlwind since her anatomy scan at 18 weeks (read about my pregnancy complications part 1 and part 2) and her 10 month hospitalization after she was born.
This is my favorite of all the pictures. Chalkboards were just starting to gain in popularity and I had so much fun making our chalkboard. Here’s a link to a gorgeous chalkboard I love if you’re looking! Although my dress isn’t available anymore, I love these options: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It’s also been a while since this photo shoot, so my shoes aren’t sold anymore, but here are some great options I love from the same designer: 1, 2.
I can’t believe it’s been almost 3 years since we’ve made our big conversation hearts valentine’s pregnancy announcement for sweet Addie. We had no idea what was coming our way, how much strength our journey would require, and how much she would change our lives. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful girl who brings joy to thousands. It is truly a privilege to be her parents.
What did you do for your pregnancy announcement? We’d love to hear your fun ideas! What’s your favorite idea from our Valentine’s pregnancy announcement?
Aww this is such a sweet announcement! One of the cutest I’ve seen!
I am so happy and excited for you!! Congratulations!!
This is the most adorable idea! We didn’t do anything fun when we had our kids =(
