    @lurvleybunchococonuts - Your announcement made me cry! As someone who only struggled with infertility for 13 months, I was an easy case too and yet I gained an understanding about how painful infertility can be that I could have never understood otherwise. Thank you so much for sharing! I want to post something for NIAW although I don't think I am ready to announce, but I hope you don't mind if I steal parts of your post!

    Aww I'm not trying to get you all the cry.  Staaaaahhhpp with the crying <3;) 

    @vrj0522 Feel free to steal away <3 IF/struggling to conceive is the PITS and sooooo many others have it so much worse I can't even comprehend their strength but they are the most amazing warriors out there.  And then there's the opposite where so many don't even realize that it's not "easy" for everyone.  It's not intentional, it's just something that gets taken for granted.  

    @ginny_203 *hugs* I'm glad I'm not the only one too.  We are soooo blessed to be getting our miracles <3

    @lurvleybunchococonuts Love your post! I was seriously considering not putting anything on Facebook because I know what it feels like to be TTC for so long and seeing another pregnancy announcement. I almost feel guilty for being so happy when others are still struggling. I think saying something for IFAW is a great way to make sure everyone knows your not trying to rub it in their faces.

    @lurvleybunchococonuts Awesome announcement. There really needs to be more awareness regarding this topic.

    @MouseMama817 Awww... too cute! I love the tin-can telephone idea.  To include a rainbow maybe get a shirt with a small rainbow low on the belly or something?  

    @mockingjay1 that is BEAUTIFUL!  Love it!

    @tessiesmom26 I love it! Thank you  <3
    @lifesabeach85 It's actually a stock photo from Pinterest  :D But he is adorable isn't he? I have a little girl myself.

    Thanks ladies!

    @MouseMama817 - I love that idea! That is on my list of pics to take during this pregnancy (and was one of the ways I was considering announcing too!)

    @offtoneverland - I made the calendar (and the baby, ha), but the flowers came from pinterest. I looked and looked for somewhere to buy an image/digital backdrop like that, but couldn't find anything I liked and didn't want to spend $$$$$$ on flowers. This way was easy because it was all done on the computer. It will be the first time publicly posting about my loss, although I'm not sure I'm going to directly say anything. I can't decide because I know a lot of people don't know what rainbow babies are.

    @mockingjay1 I love that announcement! So beautiful.

    @MouseMama817 lol yeah I guess that would be funny to have professional staged photos like that done and not be sure you were gonna use them! Pregnancy brain! 


  • Options
    @mockingjay1 - it's absolutely gorgeous! A lot of people don't know what rainbow babies are. I only put it together after reading stuff from all of you gals.

    @MouseMama817 That announcement is awesome! Such a creative idea!

    Hi ladies! I need opinions because I can't decide which pose I like the best. Which one of these three would you pick? I will also post what I am thinking of doing with it in photoshop. This was just a quick edit on my phone.
  • Options
    Oh no!!! I just realized the sign is wrong!!! Ugh. I paid all that money. I was going to put the whole date and didn't have room but then I didn't change in to on. 
  • Options
    @bfpafter4years I like picture 1 and 2 best. The rainbow balloons look great against the white background. If I had to pick one, I think I'd go with the first. I like your DD's cute pose. :) Do you know anyone who can photoshop? They may be able to change the o to an I. But I don't think it's a huge deal at all! I love the pictures.

    @bfpafter4years maybe you can use an app to add the number? I also like the white background.

    I do photoshop and will probably change it for the Facebook announcement (being a teacher and all!) But there is nothing I can do for the prints. Oh well...

    Told most of our friends already but planning to tell work next week after our 12 wk u/s! So excited, because with a tough road to get here, they have all been so supportive. I work in a school and we are all very close-- planning to put a note up saying something along the lines of "I'm so lucky to work alongside those who inspire me daily, and have supported me so genuinely on this journey-- Grab a donut (before I eat them all)! Baby Xx coming November 2018!"

    @rosebud1230 y’all are too cute!

    @luvisgr8 I bought that shirt too and had DD wear it when we went to my parents house one day.  They totally didn't get it!  Now, I do have a step-daughter so I could see how maybe they would think it was just a shirt talking about sisters in general but it was hilarious.

    I bought an actual "big sister" shirt to tell DH's side of the family.

    My close friends and work know.  We plan on doing family pics on May 12th so I'm hoping to have a pic to share on FB on Mother's Day :smile:
