I am wanting to give the parents and Aunts a little poem to announce our pregnancy but i'm not completely thrilled with what I have so far. Anyone have any suggestions on changing it up a bit?

Tis weeks before Christmas, we’re all going nuts;
With so much to do, there’s no ifs, ands or buts.
Buy presents, hang tree lights, pop cards in the mail,
Send gift packs, thread popcorn, find turkey’s on sale.

Decorations need stringing up all through the house,
And I haven’t a clue what to buy for my spouse.
Baking my cookies and stirring my fudge,
Dozing by the sink til B gave me a nudge.

I still have presents to wrap and bows to tie,
And the house is a disaster I thought with a sigh.
I looked round at the mayhem and thought to myself..
Next year will be different, I’ll organize myself.

When all of a sudden I began to feel sick,
Could it all be from that last cookie batter lick.
My cheeks became rosey, I felt a hot flash,
So off to the bathroom I made a mad dash.

Feeling of warmth and lit up with glow,
I thought of a time like this not long ago.
And then in a twinkling, I knew what would be
The sound of little feet coming in summer you see.

With all the mad dashing, we’re reeling from shock;
Let’s stop for a minute and really take stock.
Take a moment out now, don’t get over riled,
Next year we’re expecting our number two child.



I just feel like it seems unfinished but i'm stuck.

I'd just try not to rhyme 'myself ' with 'myself'. Maybe the first line could be "I said to an elf", or your goal could be to organize a shelf. Only other thing is that turkeys shouldn't have an apostrophe because it's plural, not possessive.

Sorry, I'm a teacher lol. Super cute poem and idea, love it!
