We have started to tell close family and friends, but we did something special for our parents since it’s my parents’ first grandchild and my in-laws first grandchild in like 15 years (DH was a huge, late surprise for them, him and his oldest sister are 17 years apart). We gave my parents a thank-you present for helping us with our new house and I wrote a sentimental card. I learned brush-lettering for my wedding and I busted out my old pens (but my technique needs some work). Anyway they opened the presents and they were all overjoyed! We drove to Montreal for one day to tell my in-laws since that is where DH is from 🤗
Our big announcement this weekend was amazing! We celebrated my son's 2nd birthday Saturday. His last gift was a shirt that said "Big Bro," and the "I am a Big Brother" book. Everyone was shocked... especially my mom! Then we went to the backyard and shot off blue confetti cannons to announce that March baby is another boy! It was a blast to celebrate with everyone! I had previously told my boss at work, and this morning I told my team. No special announcement there, but now I feel relieved to be able to talk about it openly.
We shared our news on social media last weekend when I was 12 weeks..my MIL had gotten that book for us when we did our IUI cycle in June, and I bawled my eyes out reading it (and that was before pregnancy hormones!) so we knew we had to use it in our announcement, especially because we’re both readers!
We did our social media announcement today (I will be 12 weeks on Wed). We found out we were pregnant the day before our previously scheduled summer pictures so I threw this shirt on DD and she did the rest!
