So from the beginning we decided we wouldn't tell anyone we were pregnant until at least the end of the first trimester or the beginning of the second trimester...however...when your parents come to see you at 9 weeks when you're not feeling good it's hard to keep it a secret. Also, we decided it would make Christmas more exciting this year if we told only our immediate family at that time.
I used this picture to tell everyone we were expecting..I modge podged a frame and put stickers spelling "arriving July 2012" on it. I wrapped it up like an early Christmas present that I wanted them to open before we got busy working on things, cooking, site seeing, etc.
I gave the gift to my mom to open and she ripped into it so fast I almost didn't pull off the picture-but I'd say I got a pretty good reaction shot!
I'd just like to say first of all my mom never cries...never. But I caught her off guard with this exciting news. Dad was making of list of things he could work on around the house to keep busy. He later told us at the end of the list he added....Nursery!
Telling my parents was a memory I will never forget...truly one of the best moments ever!
