Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

Our Announcement Plan

I knew there was something I forgot to say this morning!  I have a plan in place for our announcement.  It will involve pictures of my son holding up framed messages about his new sibling.  But it won't happen super soon . . .  

I found some picture frames I wanted for this project.  They are unfinished frames that look very similar to a current popular brand name frame at a tiny fraction of the price.  While I think the name brand frames are lovely, I just don't spend $100+ on one 11x14 picture frame.  So instead, I got THREE 11x14 frames for under $90 shipped!!!  And I'm so excited.  They will find their final home in our guest room/new nursery where they will be perfect on the wall, but before they get hung they will be a part of our pregnancy announcement.

So, why not soon?  Because the company that sells these unfinished frames custom cuts them for every order, and as they have started to be featured on various blogs and Pinterest for being absolutely amazing frames with infinite DIY customization options, their shipping time is now 3-4 weeks.

That buys me some time to get more comfortable . . . including another appointment to hear the heartbeat.  But also puts an end to the unknown about when I will do it.  Sure I could keep talking myself out of it once the frames arrive, but I like having a plan and an end goal.
