Need ideas

[Margerle]

Another thread got me thinking... DH and I are getting ready to do Christmas cards, and I'd like to include our news in our yearly letter.

In the other thread, mrsnewbury needed some ideas to tell Gramma and Grandpa on Christmas This is what tinytoes came up with:

ok, here's my first thing in the mornign effort....




Merry christmas mum and Dad!
We hope you'll be glad
of the gift we've got you
let me give you a clue..
It's small and it's pink
and occasionally can stink
It can cry and giggle
or sleep or wriggle
Merry Christmas Grandma!
Merry Christmas Grandpa!

ok...it's terrible I'll admit.
Seems I'm not a poet either!heheh

(HAH! Would you do a variation of that poem you did for mrsnewbury for DH and I to put in our Christmas cards to family and friends this year?)

DH and I were married (engaged in June with date on Nov 10) and we found out we were pregnant the end of September... oops

DH is worried about people wondering about the 'dates', but as I'm obviously showing now, people are gonna figure it out. LOL Plus it's a pretty big bit of news for our family

I'm not as concerned about the 'dating' thing... The baby is due the end of May/ first part of June and there's really no way of getting around it. I guess I could just say "we're due this spring" and keep it vague...

Any suggestions?

Merry Christmas everyone!
We have something that's gonna be fun!
Such good news to tell at this Yule,
Let me give you a clue...
It's small and it's pink,
and occasionally can stink.
It can cry and giggle,
or sleep or wriggle.
We're excited about the changes this will bring.
Our new arrival due in the Spring!

Ok, so I just plagiarized...no one hurt me!

w00t

That's awesome TY

Any other nifty ideas?

 

[Mrs-N]

oh thats not fair i could of used that one too but im not due until july.
so will it be spring or summer?

i love the bit were it says 'our new arrival is due in the spring'
but if i use this it wont sound right if its summer.

 

[dakini]

ummm, no not really. maybe a picture of some booties?
Your other child wearing a shirt saying "I'm the big brother/sister" in a family photo, or just them?

yeah, winter and summer would be hard to rhyme...bummer is what comes to mind with summer, and that's just totally not right!

Well, maybe patter would work...maybe I can come up with something...

We think they'll be a charmer.

Ok, again, plagiarized, and not great, but something that kinda rhymes with summer....
