Melissa Maker congrats! My first child i had to tell my mom first cuz she had to bring me my test cuz my hubby was at work and we only had one car lol with my second it was right around mothers day weekend so i gave my mom her gift and in the bag was also my pregnancy test and a card which i signed from me my son and little one to come and everyone was so excited my mom was smiling ear to ear my mother inlaw was gitty jumping around in her seat reading her card it was soo awesome!
I have my husband's reaction on my UA-cam you should watch. His reaction is priceless! It was about 4 years ago. Charlene is 3 now. I also have a video of her first lol, so cute
Thank you for making me assume on Instagram that my guess was right, but it wasn’t. I was guessing it was a boy, but even this gender reveal was a complete shocker yet full of happy and exciting emotions. I’m so excited!!!!! 🤗🙌🏼❤️
That is exactly how we announced our pregnancy to our friends and family too! It is so sweet because now that my daughter is getting older we look back at the pics and she is just so thrilled... For one of our reveals my girlfriends invited me out to a bar. Knowing I wasn't going to order any drinks I excused myself to the bathroom before we ordered, found our waitress and told her that I was going to ask her to take our picture right before we ordered. I announced my pregnancy as she was taking the picture and it worked out perfectly! Such a fun, memorable way to announce it!!
Great idea, so cool to have those reactions forever!! I can not get over how happy you look. The smile and glow. Many blessings to you , Chad and this very lucky baby!!
Love that you have everyone's reactions documented! I teared up throughout this video because it is just so touching:) I'm so looking forward to all your upcoming pregnancy videos...
Yay yay!! So cute, guys(: Melissa, I'm so eager to hear about your journey as you go through all of this! Lifestyle changes, personal care changes, health changes, appetite changes. We want to hear it all! Praying for you & your growing family🙏🏻
Congrats Melissa ! I am so happy for you both. My son is currently 2. I think you did a awesome job in revealing the news to special loved ones in your life. I would have to get more creative next time. Mine was just a phone call, but I am also blessed as my family & friends were overwhelmed with joy. Like you, I have been married to my supportive amazing husband for 9 years before we had our son ( currently married for 12 years), so you can understand how everyone was waiting to know of this special news.
So cute!!! When we told our parents at lunch, my husband was praying for the food and at the end said "and thank you for the blessing growing in my wife's belly" 😍😍For our second baby we made a video parody to "shake it off"😂
For my first daughter I told my mom while eating spaghetti...she almost spat it all out! Then Christmas '15 I announced I was pregnant by wrapping the positive test in a stocking and giving to hubby. He opened it in format of everyone but stayed quiet about it. The bigger announcement was a few weeks later.....twins!!
love that your friend already knew!! the reaction pics of your mom are my absolute favorite, I can totally imagine the sound she was making!! I just have 1 piece of constructive criticism in case you have a 2nd baby someday: get someone else behind the camera because Chad should be in the photos too!!! he seems so excited to be a dad, I'm so happy for you both. (ps your friends will never forget this cute stunt you pulled on them, so good luck trying to ever take another group photo without them getting wildly suspicious!)
What a brilliant idea to photograph people's reaction to your exciting news. Loved it! Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing Melissa. Take care : )
Awh so cute. Love all the little stories. On our second(current) pregnancy we told our little girl who is 3 first and we brought her around to everyone's house and she got to tell everyone she was going to be a big sister. Everyone got super excited and my daughter was made a big deal of so it was great. Best of luck to you guys. Delighted for you
What an awesome idea and to keep these pictures for memories! We told the news to our parents on Father's Day and we found perfect shirts for both of sets of parents from Target that said "Great dads get promoted to grandpas". It took a second to sink in but both families were ecstatic!
I think it was extremely creative and something you'll remember for a long time. Congratulations on your pregnancy and this new start in your life, Melissa! ♥
So exciting!!! What a fun way to share the news! My husband and I went through a long time with fertility issues so my family knew very early with our first daughter- however our second daughter was a surprise so no one was expecting to hear another announcement from us - we had my in laws over for dinner and I just casually handed her a pair of pants (they were maternity pants) and told her I needed them hemmed, please...... she was looking at them “no problem” and then she starts freaking out - WAIT these are maternity!!!!!!!!!!” Is was great!!!
Me and my husband tried to get pregnant for 3 long years and when we finally did we found out on Father's Day and it was so magical that was last year and now my beautiful daughter is here in my arms and is now 8 months old and an absolute blessing 💖
Thank you for sharing this. Tears of joy, really happy for you guys! Love seeing the baby bump and Chad steping up as a main character in CMS videos 😊❤. God bless you, hope you are feeling good and that the baby is doing good too.
That's an awesome way to tell your friends and family!! .people sometimes ask us when are we going to have a baby and were not planning on having a baby any time soon ,but If it happens it happens ❤
You are ADORABLE! I learned your news when shopping your Black Friday Sale, thought I might have spotted a pregnancy, went on UA-cam and here you are! Mazel Tov, and the very best to you and yours, and I hope you are feeling wonderful through and through!
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago I believe. I love all you guys channels! Everyday I get to learn something new and you do everything in such a fun way. Congrats on the blessing coming soon. You make me want to be better Melissa and as a recovering Heroin addict I thank you.
Walked into a big family bash wearing a white tee that said "old School" across the chest. Awhile into the party I changes into another white tee with "Baby on Board" written instead (same font). It was so fun to see the double takes from everyone. Not to mention the craziness that ensued. Really fun.
I am soooooooooooooo happy for you!!!! Receive a three big hugs from Mexico City with my best feelings and wishes for you to enjoy your pregnancy. This baby must be a happy one already to have you as parents. You look so perfect as a Mom! :))))
I don't know why but I am crying ~ I am so happy for you both. You've built a career, a loving home, and now you are ready to bring a child in. I love it.
I am super excited for you and thank you so much for sharing your happy news with us. I bought your book not to long ago to support how wonderful you and Chad are. My fiance always knows when I am watching your video lol. Congrats again...we love you guys 😍
How sweet, great memories for sure. When we anounced out pregnancy it was right around mothers day, so for my husbands parents we got his mom a card; but instead of it saying Happy Mother's day Mom it said Grammy. She had to read it twice to really figure out what we were saying. She was so excited. It was her first grandchild as well. His dad was pretty quiet but you could see that he was so proud. The bigger shock came a couple of months later when we called him to tell him that not only was he going to have one grandson, but two! Yup identical twin boys. We actually had my husbands mom with us that day and to make it even more special; it was also their wedding anniversary.
That was really sweet. Sometimes video can seem too invasive for announcements; people's reactions are so personal. The photos are a nice way to capture the expressions of excitement without getting the full reactions.
Oh my gosh! Get ready for a day so special😍I was lucky, I remember every detail. My LO is 4yrs old... 20 yrs later 😣 So much love to you and ur hubby and that blessed baby. It's awesome😍
that was a great wonderful idea and you have things on film or pictures to keep as a sentimental keepsake and rememberance, a visual photo or video. wonderful and sweet!!!
Awww, how sweet! I told my mom and dad by just showing them the positive pregnancy test. They flipped out. It was their first grandchild. With my in-laws, I gift wrapped a white onesie and gave the gift to my mother in law for her to open in front of the family. She thought it was a belated Christmas gift and they all screamed when she pulled out the onesie. It was so fun and exciting to announce the pregnancy!
New subbie here! My husband and I found out on our anniversary. We went on a small vacation and came back with a “souvenir “ for my parents. It was baby cloths and we wrapped it up really nice for them. The rest of my family we announced on Mother’s Day and I was able to get their reaction on video.
Just recently started watching your channel and love it congratulations on your pregnancy I know you’re almost there now may God bless you and your family
My husband is an OBGYN so he told ME I was pregnant before I knew myself lol As far as telling the family I think it was just phone calls ... this was 30 yrs ago! Everyone is more creative now ; I Loved your & Chads idea! Very sweet! So happy for you both & you are just glowing!
La Dama del Caribe he knew my cycle & recognized the early symptoms ; then I had the blood test ;there were no tests you could buy at the drug store back then!He called the lab , found out the results & then told me it was positive!
Kathleen Sauer: My husband told him that I was pregnant with baby number 9, he said he just could tell (I wasn't late yet) took a test just to prove him wrong and it was positive haha pregnant with baby number 11 now!
Can see the happy glow on your face. Congratulations! I can tell by look on your face. The I can't stop smiling because I am so happy and excited look ☺☺ children are such a blessing from the Lord.
I had recently found out I was pregnant when you made your announcement. It'll be fun going through the process with you a little and watching you grow as I grew just a tad slower. Lol.
Start thinking about a Midwife and a Doula. Also, Mama Natural has a great pregnancy book!!! Wishing you and Chad the best pregnancy journey, you look amazing!
Congratulations!!! We find out I'm pregnant that same week of Father's Day too! I hope you guys are doing well. We announced by calling asap for our parents since my in laws are grandbaby crazy, lol. My mom knew I took 2 tests at home, and my hubby didn't believe me. We asked a friend's kid to announce before we ate at a big gathering, and our friends for the most part we told them there was a new gamer in the room, or just said I'm pregnant. Social media I posted a pic with our dog with a sign that she was going to be a big sis in March 2018. :)
So excited for you guys! When I saw your announcement video, I told my hubby you HAD to be pregnant before I watched the video! Can't wait to find out what baby will be!!!!!! Congrats again guys!
Aaaww what a sweet idea!! My husband and I took our parents out to dinner together, and they figured it out by that.. we were only 4 weeks along, but way too excited to keep it a secret!

19 years ago on Father's day, gave my dad his gift wrapped in 'baby' paper...Congatulations to you and Chad!
Congratulations!!! We find out I'm pregnant that same week of Father's Day too! I hope you guys are doing well.
We announced by calling asap for our parents since my in laws are grandbaby crazy, lol. My mom knew I took 2 tests at home, and my hubby didn't believe me. We asked a friend's kid to announce before we ate at a big gathering, and our friends for the most part we told them there was a new gamer in the room, or just said I'm pregnant.

So excited for you guys! When I saw your announcement video, I told my hubby you HAD to be pregnant before I watched the video! Can't wait to find out what baby will be!!!!!! Congrats again guys!
Oh really! That's awesome - so many people say they could tell! I was certainly starting to carry!
Melissa Maker I'm not sure I could tell by you carrying. I think it was just a, "that's all it could be" moment!
Aaaww what a sweet idea!! My husband and I took our parents out to dinner together, and they figured it out by that.. we were only 4 weeks along, but way too excited to keep it a secret!
Sincere Congratulations!!!! God Bless!!!
This is so sweet! I'm so excited for you and Chad! :)
So happy for you and Chad, great news.
this was adorable. Thank you for posting it.
I am glad you liked it!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you!
Loved hearing your story!
