Final Words
I know that we’re probably all sick of the same boring, classic baby showers and baby announcements. It’s time to do it a little bit differently in a way that showcases your motherly connection to your baby.
You can be creative and do some arts and crafts that will make your pregnancy announcement unique and different, and show the kind of mom you’re going to be.

You can still be creative and make some decorations or for example, write the riddle on a chalkboard or get it printed on your T-shirts.
Sharing this big news with your family members and the people you love is exciting because they’ll be as happy as you are. Use one of these pregnancy riddles to surprise them big time.
