Would this be weird?
We took professional pregnancy announcement photos when I was the same gestational age (12 weeks) last year in October when our favorite photographer was in town.
I lost that pregnancy at 17 weeks but we never announced it via social because we were waiting to tell some family at thanksgiving. So basically only friends, and some family knew we were pregnant with a baby girl and ultimately lost her at 17 weeks after a month of hospitalization.
My due date would have been 4.24 and I want to announce our new pregnancy on that date but also tell the story of our little girl in the same post (we have a photo of her little hand and footprint). I LOVED the photos we took with our son last year and since we never got to use them, I want to basically use them for this latest pregnancy announcement, side by side with the photo of our girls prints.
My question is…if you were to see a post like this, would you think it’s weird mixing news of a pregnancy loss along with a pregnancy announcement…using photos from the first pregnancy?

I think anyone who’s gone through loss would think it’s beautiful and understand.
I can see how it could come across a little weird, but if you explain the story it would be understandable and sweet. I think it would be a little odd if you were passing those pictures off as if they were your new baby's pictures but with the explanation I think everybody who has a heart would understand and find it beautiful.
I think its beautiful and both of your baby's deserve to be loved on and included on your announcement ♡
Just reading what you wrote made me teary eyed. I’m sorry for your loss but also happy for your announcement. I don’t think it’s weird at all. You are honoring both babies. I think it would be a wonder thing to do. Go for it those whom love you will understand and the love will flow unconditionally. Good luck. 🍀🍀🍀🍀
I think it’s very sweet!
