FB Pregnancy Announcement

Finally getting around to sharing it here! Sort of, hahaha.

I posted our pregnancy announcement to FB on Saturday morning. Here's the photo (Photoshopped from a wooden sign DH's aunt had made for us when we got married and with our last name blacked out) and the text I posted with it:

After not-so-patiently waiting, losing hope, and experiencing heartbreak, DH and I are overjoyed to share our wonderful news. In September, we'll be welcoming our first (non-furry!) child. 

We got SUCH a wonderful response to it. I even received PMs from a couple of ladies I went to HS with who opened up about their past/current struggles and thanking me/sympathizing with me about the difficult journey. It made me so very happy I'd decided to share it the way I did and connect with them that way.

    Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.

    OMG, I'd be flattered if it got reused! It took me quite a while of thinking about it here and there until all the wording finally just fell into place in my head. I actually choked myself up writing it down so I wouldn't forget it.
