Well, this time it was much different. We didn't have any fun t-shirts or a production planned. We have been overly cautious with this pregnancy and just wanted to share the news casually. I really wanted to maybe wait until our 2nd ultrasound to make sure there was a heartbeat, but I knew that I wanted the support of our parents in the event that something went wrong. So, we were going to maybe spill the beans on Christmas Eve/Christmas if the opportunity arose, but all day at Dan and Kim's, it just never seemed like the right time.
We went to my parents' house all day and all evening on Christmas and again, it just never came out...until the VERY end of the night :). Mom was going to give me back the bottle of wine I had brought, but I just casually said that I wouldn't be able to drink it for awhile, so she could keep it. Both, Mom and Lindsay just kind of looked at me and then smiled. I think they both pretty much suspected it, but just needed the confirmation. Dad and Mom both gave me a huge hug and it felt so good to tell them!
As for Darin's family, Kim came over to hang out with Jameson the day after Christmas and we told her that day! It was nice to be able to tell her, as I had wanted to all day on Christmas. She was so happy for us and told us she would keep it a secret until we were ready to spill the beans. Darin ended up calling Derek and Nicole to tell them the news and now everyone knew! It felt great to share it with family, but that was it - we want to keep it quiet from everyone else for quite awhile! Hoping to make it to 14 weeks before announcing. We shall see.
