To Tell or Not To Tell?

Christmas is such a happy time of year, and the only way to make it more exciting would be to tell everyone about the pregnancy. We went back and forth about whether to tell them or not. I'd had a miscarriage already so we were still a little worried that it could happen again, but ultimately we decided that with my HcG levels rising like they should it was probably okay to tell our family about our good news!


I toyed with different ways to tell them, but finally settled on giving them a picture frame with a picture of my pregnancy test in it. On the picture I wrote, "And Baby Makes Three! Baby H's Due Date 8/18/07! Oh I couldn't wait for everyone to know our little secret!




I sat there with my camera ready so that when they opened it I could catch their initial expression! My mom squeeled with excitement. J's mom looked at us in disbelief and then talked about how excited she was. Our grandmothers were so excited to be great-grandmothers again. And our siblings couldn't wait to be aunts and uncles. And we were bursting at the seams!
