"Big Sis" tshirt was nearly a bust!

dnagal · July 2009

Went to my parents last weekend with DD wearing a "Big Sis" Tshirt! My mother noticed, but was afraid to say anything (for like an HOUR!) (in case I'd just bought it on sale or it was a hand me down or something!) My father had absolutely no clue!! After waiting FOREVER for someone to say something, I gave my mom a mini photo album that I'd written "brand new brag book" in the cover insert and had the ultrasound pic inside!

Finally! We have a reaction! But my DAD, when shown the book STILL didn't get it, thinking that it was an old ultrasound picture of NORA-UGH!

Fortunately, Mom explained through her happy tears. Moral-if you're going for the t-shirt plan to announce the 2nd baby, have a backup plan!

The next night was my brother's birthday, we pasted a copy of the ultrasound pic in his card and signed it from the three of us and his "brand new niece or nephew" ! This one got the appropriate response-hooray!

That stinks it didn't go as planned but at least you have a funny story to tell!

Oh, wow. ?That's funny. ?We're doing the "Big Brother" t-shirt to tell friends and extended family (a picture by email/blog). ?Hopefully they're quicker than your parents were! ?;)

I am going to do the same thing. I wonder too if anybody will say anything because they just are sure if they should/are supposed to! Guess we will find out!
