For each pregnancy after our first one, we shared the news that our family was expanding through our kids. We custom created some t-shirts for them to wear that shares that they will become a big sibling soon.

Sure, the idea is not all that creative, but it is a tried-and-true method of sharing while including your child in the whole process. They loved being the barer of good news and it helped them start to grasp the idea and get used to their new role as big brother/sister.

Now that we have awesome things like Etsy, we get access to custom products without trying to make them look cute on our own (something I am not good at). There are some wickedly talented people who sell their stuff on Etsy, and come creative new big sibling t-shirts, perfect for this.
