telling baby's older siblings

Bewleyamc

so this will be my 4th, but I always love hearing people's ideas for telling their other children that they're going to be big brothers or sisters!

I have a 7 year old, 4 year old, and 18 month old, not sure how we're going to break the news just yet

I was pregnant back in October which unfortunately ended in a chemical but we had told my eldest who was 7 at the time the day we found out and she had a whole breakdown �� she was completely against it. So we’re definitely waiting as long as we can this time around ��

@Safmara,

aw I'm very sorry for your loss.
I don't plan to tell my other kids until we're ready for basically anyone besides the doctor to know because I know the older 2 will not be able to keep a secret lol
