Especially if you’re the kind of couple who love to spend their days at the ocean with your toes buried in the sand–beach bums, that is—this pregnancy announcement photoshoot idea would be a great fit for you, one that’s actually representative of your personalities. There are also a ton of directions you can take this—what about including a short video where the waves wash away and reveal your big announcement?!

8. Let’s get physical at a private gym in Nashville
