1, 2, 3....K's Pregnant!!

This past week was a whirlwind of travel and family and FINALLY getting to spill our big news to everyone. We'd been dying to tell our brothers and sisters so we were so excited when the time finally came. And they were beyond surprise.

Our plan of attack was to have A's dad hold the camera and line the siblings/significant others in front of the tree for our usual family pic. Once lined up, the camera holder said "Everyone say, Merry Christmas!" Only, our sibs weren't very enthusiastic and didn't repeat. Then A's dad said, "Alright, everyone say, "K's Pregnant!" This got A's younger brother and his gf's attention, but no one else's. He repeated it again, at which time people started looking at us like, "WHAT?!?!" To which I replied, "WE ARE PREGNANT!!"

Here's a picture of us all lined up, the baby missile about to deploy....

Shock. Pure shock...then joy ensued. It was priceless. No one was more excited than A's younger brother Mike who happens to also be our neighbor. Uncle Mike as he's calling himself now has already been talking to Baby B letting it know that he's it's uncle and how excited he is for Baby B to arrive.

Then it was off to A's whole family party. This year the big shindig was based around a talent show. A and I planned a few weeks prior to do a sort of Mad Gab bit, creating a nonsensical sentence to be said out loud to reveal its true meaning.

Our sentence was: "Hour fame lee his crow ring bye two feat his jewel I". Can you figure it out? It took a little bit- with some people guessing right away- "She's pregnant!" To which A's cousin Emily immediately replied, "She is NOT!!!". Once the sentence was finally figured out, everyone went crazy. It was a pretty neat experience to be able to tell his whole family at once. Here we are with our easel after the reveal.

Then it was off to MI to tell my siblings on Christmas day. We again deployed the plan of line the sibs up in front of the tree and once again shock the hell out of them. This time, it worked sort of like a charm. Only, when my dad said K's pregnant- my sibs didn't flinch because they thought he was joking. He kept repeating it, and then started crying. Thats when they knew something was amiss. Here's the video of that reveal.

Once again, shock. And tears. From all of us in my family. We're criers, what can I say? Any of you who attended the wedding can attest to that!

We are SO glad everyone is aware of our big news now and no more having to hide it. I'm most excited that I no longer have to fake drink!! Woo-hoo!! Its the small things in life these days.

Hope all of you had as fabulous holiday as we did!!
