How to Announce Your Pregnancy This Valentine's Day

It's not just love that's in the air this Valentine's Day. Women with due dates in August and September will be nearing their second trimester on February 14th. Whether you're one for grandiose gestures, or would prefer a sweet and simple surprise for close family, there's no doubt that using Valentine's Day to reveal your pregnancy will fill hearts with a little extra love.

Pregnancy reveals are a lot of fun. Some people get gifts for grandparents to be, while others go the photo shoot route. For us, I wanted something I could wrap up as a surprise for our parents, something that they wouldn't be expecting.

I didn't want a due date onesie, since I didn't think we'd ever use it, as cute as it may be. I like the bun in the oven idea, but I wasn't sure how I was going to sneak a bun into my parent's oven, as the kitchen is the hub of the house, and we have a big family.

When I realized I'd be revealing my surprise around Valentine's Day, I decided I wanted a V-Day themed something.

I ended up heading over to Target and purchasing a set of simple newborn onesies and socks.

Then, I found some cheap heart-shaped boxes and cute polka-dotted bags. I just needed to dress them up a bit.

That's when I realized, stuff them with pink crepe paper, add the baby gear, and you've got a pretty little gift set.

So, for Valentine's Day, our parents will be receiving these to open up. If you're looking for a Valentine's Day pregnancy reveal, this may be it. Just don't forget to film everyone's reactions, regardless of how you tell them!

I know my mom is going to be one of those screamers who can't even handle the news.
