October 2, a year ago this very day
We learned a new baby was on the way
We had wanted another for nearly a year
And were thrilled beyond measure a baby was near
But ten short weeks was all we had
Before Bug joined his Heavenly Dad
Just a month later - two more pink lines!
But alas, with that one we had even less time.
A couple months passed and another babe came and went -
Or maybe not! Mira was not heaven-bound - not yet.
At 10 weeks 3 days a scan showed she too was gone
How could this be? Surely the Dr was wrong!
A few weeks more passed and we were in for a surprise
When unexpectedly two more lines appeared before my eyes.
I tried to stay hopeful but I knew something was wrong
And at seven weeks found out Bean, too, was gone.
But then we moved house and you know what they say -
New house, new baby! It's better that way.
Right from the start I knew Peep is the one
Who will join our family and again make our lives fun.
So this pregnancy is still a secret to everyone but our parents and siblings. My plan is to make it "facebook official" on October 2nd, the day I found out about the first of 5 back to back pregnancies possibly with a slideshow - but certainly with some photos we have yet to take.
I was just thinking about how I would word it and a poem came out - I havebt written poetry in probably a decade. It's not finished yet as my bladder and my kids have interrupted me, but I wanted to share what I have and get some opinions. I want to acknowledge my other babies and the journey I've been on, but is this too depressing for a pregnancy announcement?

It's raw, honest, and beautiful. I think your friends and loved ones will appreciate that.
