We had soooo much fun telling our families this week. Our Christmas cards have been arriving in mailboxes today, so our friends are now finding out as well. We got the best reactions.
We told both of our parents by giving them an ultrasound picture in a frame that said "miracle". When Matt's Mom opened it, she started crying & was so excited. She handed the frame to Matt's dad, who could not figure out what it was to save his life. We finally had to tell him. It was pretty funny.
When we gave the frame to my parents, they totally didn't get it at first. My sister just had a baby last month, & for some reason, my parents thought that it was her ultrasound. I mean, it's totally logical that I would wrap up a picture of my sister's 6 week ultrasound & give it to my parents for Christmas, right? Anyways, it was pretty hysterical watching their reactions. We got it on video--it's only about 40 seconds long. Excuse the mess in the house, & our missing t.v. on the wall. It's in the repair shop. Enjoy!

Re: Our secret is out (& video link)
Not sure why it won't let me make the video a link. Sorry!

OMG I love it!!
Are you out on Facebook or just to the family?
I'm trying to wait a little longer on FB. We are still waiting for some people to get their cards. I would like to wait until 12 weeks, but if someone posts something on my wall before then, I'm just going to come out.
LMAO, I love it!!!!! I love your mom's reaction, aw cute! so calm before she figured it out and you dad looks so happy.
BTW, your mom looks soooo young!
Very cute!
You mom IS so young!!! I was thinking she was your sister or something!
Everyone thinks this! She IS young. My parents got married really young, & had me 1 1/2 years later. She is only 48, & I am 28. But, she doesn't look 48 either!
