Announcement brainstorming

So over a year ago my mom randomly bought us this antique baby cradle at an estate sale and it's been kind of a running joke in my family about her being overly excited and putting the pressure on for grandkids. 
My husband and I wanted to somehow incorporate it into how we are telling them we are expecting. Just throwing it out there in case anyone has a fun or clever way to announce it to them with some incorporation of this.
