Sharing our big news!

Its been hard to keep this baby a secret. But I think we've done pretty good! When we finally got around to sharing our news, here is how we did it.

Ray told his mom and dad over the phone. Unfortunately, neither of them live close to us. But it was fun to watch his face light up as he told them he was going to be a dad :)

When it came to telling my mom and sister, I wanted to do something special. We waited until we got to the 6 week mark to share. We had a few appointments that we were able to see our HcG numbers rising perfectly. So I felt comfortable to include them at that point. We invited them over for dinner. Chinese food :) After everyone had finished eating, we passed out fortune cookies. We put special fortunes in the cookies before hand. 

It was so fun to watch their faces as the read their fortunes!!!

 They were both very happy. I think it took a minute for my mom to grasp what she was reading..that it wasnt "just a fortune from her cookie" lol. I felt so much better telling them!

When it came time to share the news with "general population" we wanted to wait until we had our first appointment with the doctor. First official one at least. We were able to see the baby on the ultrasound, and see a perfect little heartbeat :) It wasnt too long after that, that we shared it with the rest of our friends!
