A History of Ballerina Farm Pregnancy Announcements
A very scientific ranking
First of all, OF COURSE she’s pregnant again. Frankly, I’m shocked if you’re shocked. But maybe you’re like my cousin and need a bit of a Ballerina Farm primer, (which I’ve provided below) - my sweet summer child of a cousin, who fell into the Ballerina Farm rabbit hole approximately four years after the rest of us and spent a good portion of this past weekend texting our family thread screenshots accompanied by a medley of shock emojis, to which my other cousin finally responded with some Real Talk.

And now, to mark the occasion of the latest Ballerina Farm pregnancy announcement, I thought I’d create a completely arbitrary and totally ridiculous BF pregnancy announcement ranking according to no sane metrics of any kind.
I’m doing it like the Best Movies of the Year lists and ranking from worst (in my WHOLLY SUBJECTIVE opinion) to best. While I’d like nothing more than to rank all 8 pregnancy announcements, only 5 are on Instagram, so this will be a necessarily limited, tragically inconclusive ranking.
Drum roll please.
