Two weeks till Christmas Eve. Two weeks till we tell the parents.

I think I've mentioned that we're planning on telling the parents at Christmas time. Christmas was coming up, so it just made sense. Plus, by then I'll be 9 weeks, so getting closer to being in the clear with this pregnancy.

At my sister's suggestion, I have composed a poem that we will show them at Christmas... and it goes a little like this:

"Buried deep beneath layers of flesh and clothes
Lies a little secret almost nobody knows

A funny little creature, now the size of a grape,
Growing to arrive around July twenty-eight

A new friend for your favourite little two
Another soul to love, and play games of peek-a-boo

So Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We hope that our news brings you much good cheer"

I have typed up and printed the poem, and placed it inside a gift box with a ribbon wrapped round. My parents and hubby's mum will all be at Christmas Eve, so we'll give them their gifts then. It's probably a bit corny, but I wanted to do something different seeing as this is most likely our last bub.
