Christmas card question

So I am sitting here uploading our family photo to Walmart so I can order Christmas cards. In the picture you can obviously tell I am expecting (most people know anyways). At the end I was going to have it say with love, and then all our names. Do you think I should sign the card at the end from the baby as well? We don't know the gender yet so it would just say and baby. Or is that baby luck lol? I was thinking I could just sign it with our last name, but I think it makes it just a little more personal with the first names on there. What is everyone else doing?

Our says all of our first names with Baby and the last name. We also included our pet's names though too... so we may be those people. Ha, we just figured that Baby is a part of our life at the time, therefore we included he/she in the card.

We aren't. Our christmas card with either say our last name or our names and our sons name. If you want to sign baby go for it though! I think for me with having had a previous loss I would be worried something would happen and then seeing that Xmas card would be tough.

Even though everyone knows now that I'm pregnant, and even though we may soon know the sex, I won't be signing the cards with anything baby related. Too afraid of jinxing.

I didn't include baby on the card. I feel like it is bad luck. I wouldn't think it was weird if I received one from a pregnant friend though.

I want to do it because I think it's cute, I just don't want to jinx it either. We have the anatomy scan this Thursday so thinking I might wait until after Thurs to order them...

No baby mentioned on our cards. My DH wanted to but I just didn't want to.

We never really annouced the pregnancy. We've just kinda told people here and there and our parents have shared with family as they see/talk to them. We are using a holiday card to make a real annoucement. I'm waiting to order until Thursday evening after our A/S so I can sign it with our first names, our dog's name and Baby Girl/Boy Lastname...

I'm thinking of signing "From our 'growing family to yours' followed by "Love, the (last name)'s"

BUT- we have our a/s on Wednesday to confirm we are having a boy and we already know the name (it's a family name) so I may sign it with our names as well as 'baby Douglas'. We'll see... haven't decided but those are my two ideas

No baby mentioned on our cards, but I wouldn't side-eye someone who did.

Ours is signed "With Love, DH, Me and Baby Last Name". Seemed odd to NOT acknowledge it, when I know everyone will be staring at my belly in the photo.

I did it two years ago when I was pregnant with DD. You could just say, with love, your names and Baby Lastname. I think it's cute! 

EDD 1/31/13, MC May 17. EDD 3/31/13, MC July 26. I miss you so much already my angel loves
