Best Pregnancy Announcements 2016: 6 Cutest Ways Celebs Shared Baby News On Social Media [PHOTO]
With social media, it's become a much bigger deal to announce a pregnancy, and celebrities are no exception to the rule.
Having a cute, adorable, or just plain funny way to announce a pregnancy has become a trend in recent years, and celebrities who either announced pregnancies earlier in the year and have already had their kids, or ones who are expecting their bundles of joy in 2017, definitely made sure to keep up with it. Here are six of the most adorable announcements celebrities made this year:
Olivia Wilde & Jason Sudeikis
The actors and parents of son Otis, 2, used their son to help announce they would become parents again. In April, Wilde took to Instagram to share an image of herself and her son both posing cross-legged on a bed and cradling their bellies, captioning the image "Matching baby bumps." The pair welcomed daughter Daisy Josephine on Oct. 11.
