I wouldn't try to come up with some clever grand reveal for a third baby, not because they're not important but because if you think the people hearing it are going to be less than thrilled, you should realize they'll probably crap all over the method since they can't (/shouldn't) crap all over the content.

OP here. I like this idea. We're planning to video our kid's and they'll be thrilled.

I truly can't explain why this is so difficult for me but it is. I think some of it is that they will all be on the phone telling every 2nd cousin and random person instantly and I don't like that.

A video? Why does everything have to be so elaborate? Just tell them over the phone and move on.

Right? This is why people hate millennials.

Op here. Got it. I won’t share the video of my kids because I wouldn’t want to be too over the top.

I don't think people are making fun of you for being over the top. I think people are making fun of you for putting this much mental energy into an announcement about your third baby. During a pandemic.

Goodness, OP. Don’t listen to some random lame-os. Make a video if you want! I have three kids and my family has been thrilled with each one. I’m about to tell them I’m pregnant with #4 and I know they’ll be excited.

Did you read her post? She's saying they won't be happy.
