After seeing the baby at the ultrasound we were ready to start sharing the news with our immediate family. We shared the news during our family Father's Day celebrations using a few different methods. Everything from great-grandpa or uncle cards, to a grandma and me picture frame.
My favorite item was a baby poem that I found online and gave to my brother and sister. It still makes me cry everytime I read it (which could just be the hormones).
I do not have a face to see
or put inside a frame
I do not have soft cheeks to kiss
I don't yet have a name.
You can't yet hold my tiny hands
nor whisper in my ear.
It's still too soon to sing a song,
or cuddle me so near.
But all will change come January
that's when they say I'm due.
I'm your new niece or newphew.
I can't wait til I meet you.
All I ask between now and then
is your patience while I grow.
I promise I'll be worth the wait
because of all the love we'll know.
So what I have to give you now
is a wish to you from me.
I cannot wait to be a part
of this wonderful family.
