After everything was confirmed and we had more info than we
could ever process it was time to decide how we were going to tell our parents
and siblings.
We decided that each of us would choose the way we wanted to
tell our respective parents.
Mr. G chose a “PREGO” spaghetti sauce jar and put a baby hat
on it. We were having dinner with his
parents and they arrived at the restaurant first, when the waitress asked what
we wanted to drink I told her I needed some additional time as to not spark
suspicion prior to Mr. G telling his parents.
He handed his father the gift bag and as he started to open the gift Mr.
G’s mother started to rummage through her purse. Mr. G had to get her attention so she would
pay attention. When Mr. G’s father
pulled out the PREGO jar he seemed a little confused as did his mother, it took
a little while and Mr. G finally had to say, “We are…prego” before either of
them understood.
Mr. G’s mother looked at me with this sweet sort of shocked
and excited look before hugging me and his dad was very excited and
congratulated both of us. We spent the
remainder of the evening talking about the baby and all that goes with prepping
for a baby.
I chose a slightly different option with my family, I
purchased pacifiers and note cards with cute ribbon and attached the pacifier
with the following note.
Dear Grandma & Grandpa,
Please hold onto this for me to have when I come to visit, I’m
sure my mom will forget one at home. See
you in July.
Love, Baby G
My parents were thrilled and of course my mother shed some
tears and told me she thought maybe this announcement was coming. Our evening with my parents was also spent
the evening talking about the baby and all that goes with prepping for a baby.
We told our siblings in a similar way that we told our
parents, everyone was and is over the moon excited for this new addition to the
family.
I wish I had taken pictures of each of the ways that we told
our family members but I completely forgot.
With love,
Mrs. G
With love,
Mrs. G
