Pregnancy Announcement

I've just found out I'm pregnant again! This will be my fifth child- quite unexpected but a very happy surprise.

I've never done big announcements with babies before but as I'm 11, nearly 12 weeks gone I'm ready to let people know. Thinking of announcing it on Christmas day, we have a group video call thing set up with my parents, Dh's parents and lots of family so it's an ideal time to tell them.

Any ideas as to how? I was thinking holding up a babygrow or something but DS4 is 10 months old so it might be a bit confusing. No bump yet either.

My issue is my SIL told me yesterday that she's going to be announcing her moving in with her boyfriend on Christmas during the call and I don't want to step on toes or ruin their news. I know she'll be thrilled for us but this is her first bit of big news as all her siblings are married and have babies.

YABU= Announce on Christmas day, SIL won't mind
YANBU=Announce seperately, SIL will mind

Get your husband to dress as the Angel Gabriel. He can tell the Christmas story, announcing the imminent birth of baby no. 5
Then when he gets to "no room at the Inn" bit, cue SIL and her news. Then all sing carols and drink a toast!
