We were at your cousin, Maddox's birthday party and I was on the fence about stealing his thunder because it was his party after all, but Dad didn't feel guilty one bit and we spilt the beans.
I wanted to tell everyone in the cute traditional way where your little girls wear T-shirts that say, "big sister." Daddy again had other ideas.
He gave Aunt Titi, your ultra sound picture and told her to pretend it was hers. Titi just had her fourth baby, and had been very clear that she was done birthing children. Anyway, she played an academy award winning role to Momo and Grandpa John about how she was 15 weeks pregnant, etc. Momo and Grandpa were shocked and just sat there in awe.
I couldn't take it anymore because the charade kept going, and it kept getting more and more awkward because their reaction was not one of excitement for Titi, but more of worry and shock.
Finally the cat got out of the bag and we told them it was really our ultra sound. You would not believe the night and day reaction they had. They both jumped up and cheered and came and gave us hugs. I think they were extra excited because of the relief they felt.
We actually have it on film, so you should watch it!
Telling Grandma Tam and Grandpa Sid was a little anti-climatic. I think everyone just expected that we should be having a baby since Brooklyn is almost three. I did do the cute T-shirt idea with Avery and Brooklyn. They came up one morning in shirts that said, "Big sister." It seriously took Grandma Tam an hour to realize what was going on after Avery finally gave her a huge nudge about the shirt.
Oh well, I was just glad I could talk about being pregnant. It was really hard to not whine to my mom while I was sick!
