Hellobee Boards

My announcements were not exciting.... lol!

With my mom on Facetime...

Mom-Are you sleeping at all? Why do you look so tired?
Me- I'm pregnant!
Mom- What? Congrats, I'm so happy! Was it planned?

I just told my inlaws at Christmas dinner and they were pretty excited but made a few comments about how it HAS TO BE A BOY.

@youboots: we have two girls!

My announcement wasn't planned because I didn't get a positive test until Christmas morning! We were in my hometown and staying at my parents. I woke up and went straight to the bathroom and got my positive! I was in shock and needed a little time to process so I didn't tell anyone. After a while I was able to pull my husband aside and told him I had a present for him even though we decided not to exchange gifts bc we are buying a house. He got frustrated and told me I needed to take the gift back. I said I don't think that's really possible and handed him the bag with the test in it. It was pretty great!!

I'm a bit father along than most people announcing now, but we've been dragging our feet. All family and close friends knew, but we took this picture and put on social media to share "publicly". Caption "full of joy..and a baby boy!" It was fun to see people's reactions that I see everyday at work but hadn't told yet.

@Mrs. Lovejoy: Love it!

@youboots: Agree! We should have our little one at the beginning of September. My first doctors appt isn't until Jan. 12th

@Mrs. Lovejoy: such a great announcement!

@Mrs. Lovejoy: love it!

@autumnlove: I missed your announcement as well! Congrats! When are you due?

We announced on our Christmas card. You'll see it on the thread. The response has been wonderful. My parents' next door neighbor is thrilled for us when we saw her while LO was playing with her kids.
