Baby Announcement ? from PGAL

in Parenting after a Loss
 I was looking for some help/thoughts...Has anyone seen examples of birth announcements (After rainbow baby is born) where the first born who passed away at birth is mentioned? Is that just something that is not done..I guess I am having a hard time with wording ideas and trying not to forget that this is not our first child, that we have an angel in heaven..any thoughts/suggestions?

    I received one that said something like "we are thrilled to announce baby name, stats, born day/time" then "- (mom's name), (dad's name) and big brother (angel's name)."

    I've never gotten one personally, but I've heard of others using wording similar to: "Welcomed by Mom & Dad here on Earth, and big sister/brother in Heaven"

    I wrote our own and then had it put on it said.

    We have lost so much

    We have waited so long

    And we are overjoyed to hold him in our arms.

    And to let him help heal our hearts.

    I made our birth announcements (so all I have to do is pop in pics and birth stats and send them to printer) and...at the top I used this...

    With joy, love and renewed hope, we proudly announce the birth of

     

    and then at the end I used the same quote we used on our pregnancy announcement....

    Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them
