Spilling the beans

10kperyear

We are spilling the beans today to our families and I am both sooo excited to not have to keep a secret any longer and also terrified- but in an effort to over power the terror I’m going to ramble the plan:

I’ve sent an auntie/uncle hat set to my brother and his girlfriend, and I think once that arrives and we face time, then we’ll start calling my husband’s siblings. 

We’re doing a beer train event with our parents later tonight, where we plan to present them my beer tokens and an ultrasound picture as an early Christmas present they have to share 💕 and then once the initial excitement wears off, we are going to somehow spring the surprise of the baby’s gender (way to go NIPT testing coming in wicked early)- either sneaking pink confetti’s onto the tables (which will already have some confetti from the event decorations) and/or casually handing them ‘It’s a Girl!’ Napkins and see if they notice right away.

I sort of wish we were doing more but I have a feeling less will be more in this case.

Update: went exceedingly well 💕

This is so sweet! We’re almost ready to tell our families too and I’m excited to be bringing the first girl to both sides! Ours will be bittersweet though because this pregnancy means I can’t go to my brother in laws wedding (in Thailand!!) in the spring, which I’m very bummed about
