There are plenty of creative ways to announce your pregnancy – and we blame Pinterest a little for making us all want to up the bar, in fairness.
When businesswoman and daughter of the infamous Donald, Ivanka Trump, decided the share the news of her third baby being on the way earlier this week, she went down the DIY (and toddler wrangling) route with some cute signs and help from her two adorable children.
But, in a cute reality-check, Ivanka experienced what most of us to when trying to get a toddler to co-operate in a Pinterest-worthy photo-session. It ain’t always plain sailing.
In the video, the girlboss gets an adorable assist from her four-year-old daughter Arabella and son Joseph, who turns two in October, for the announcement of baby number three. While the announcement she uploaded to Facebook was a perfect cut, the one she shared on her website included a better video, one with outtakes and behind-the-scenes secrets that all mum’s with little ones can relate to.

Alongside the hilarity that ensues in the outtake video, Ivanka also shares how she finally got little Joseph to cooperate for the shoot.
“I usually try to feed my kids healthy food, but I gave Joseph his first lollipop ever in exchange for his best behavior. It’s the mommy trick we all say we’ll never do, but when you have multiple children, it’s pretty hard to be above it — it just works too well!!”
Oh, we know, Ivanka. We know.
