nevertoomanyshoes, I think most people at this point know what a rainbow baby is. But would having to explain it bother you, if people did ask? No I guess it wouldn't bother me at all if someone asked. So there really isn't logic to my "not sure-ness" |

We told our immediate families last week. We bought a big brother shirt for DS and none of my husband's family got it. It was his 9 and 7 year old nephews that figured it out.
I'm not sure if I'll post anything on social media. If I do though, it won't be for a while still.

We announced to family at the beginning of September and keeping it low key right now.
I think DH wants to do a FB announcement of some kind- not really my thing but I said he could go ahead and do it if he wants to. I'll post if he comes up with something. Lol

We've already told our moms & siblings. I'm sure my brother let it leak to our dad (whom I don't have a relationship with). I originally had the idea of our two olders "playing" tug 'o war with a onesie saying  in the middle & them wearing their big brother/sister tee shirts. But then the big kid (6) brought this home today & I think I'm going to skip the TOW and do a collage type thing with the paper, the onesie, an ultrasound in the corner & the teddy bear we picked up last week.  (It says "I love my family is cool because there is 5 of us"). I'm friends with his teacher, so I may ask her to send home a blank sheet & have him redo it slightly/cleaner. IDK. We have time. We probably won't announce publicly for another 4-5 weeks. |

More people at work are starting to notice, or at least suspect, I'm pregnant. Our facility has an adult day center for adults with disabilities and one of the ladies has asked me twice before if I was pregnant while staring at my stomach (I was not haha). Today on her communication device she said "you have baby" and I finally got to say yes. So now naturally the entire facility will know since she will spread the word quickly.

 We took our announcement pic today! H is afraid people will think this means we're having a boy, even though we both know if it's up to him baby will play hockey whether it's a boy or girl. Any creative caption ideas that will clarify that we don't know the gender without coming right out and saying that? |

clementine, I have an irresistible urge to make a cutesy rhyme. Something like, "Boys are great, Girls are nice, Either way, They'll be on the ice!"

If my Mat21 test comes back good, we're going to announce next week. We will also be announcing if baby is a boy or a girl too. Does this sound/look okay? Seven miracles in Heaven, three miracles on Earth, and one miracle arriving soon. After every storm there is a rainbow. We can't wait to meet him/her in April!  |

We're in Ohio but H is from northern Ohio, like 5 min from the MI border, so he grew up a Detroit sports fan. |

mattsgirl2004, I like that. I was thinking about doing a similar announcement after I saw one similar to yours last week.

whatsit Thank you and yep. This is from that photo shoot I won on Mother's Day. It was originally supposed to be a photo shoot of just me, but she agreed to do family lifestyle pictures instead and gladly incorporated the rainbow pictures at no extra cost.  K was so over the family pictures, lol. At this point he was definitely ready to be done and go hang with his friends. The girls loved the rainbow picture. I'll post the album on FB when the photographer is completely done editing so others can see the rest of the pics.

I shared this picture and one more on FB today. She is over me taking pictures of her so I had to bribe her to take it.
Poof

We heard the heartbeat this morning, and I'm 13 weeks tomorrow, so we decided to go ahead and share the news. I had fun and I'm glad we decided to incorporate DS, I think it turned out cute! I captioned it: "It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's..."  |

Super cute katietopaz!! (Also, I have totally gotten at least two of the onesie. All of my Targets only seem to have the long-sleeved version, though, ugh) |
