We told our families the news yesterday
We told my mom first on the phone since they got too much snow to travel down, she cried and cried. We told my grandparents over dinner and they thought we were joking since I was always "anti-having kids" (I came around as I got older). We told DH's family (like 15 people) next, DH got elected to say grace (yes we ate dinner again) and at the end he said "we ask the Lord to bless the baby we're expecting in July", well his family just gasped, it was great, he did it so well. Last but not least was my Dad, I gave him an ornament with a couple that has the woman weraing a shirt that says BABY with an arrow pointing down, with our names and date. He just looked up at me and said "what?" and I said "Congratulations Grandpa" and his eyes welled-up and everyone else just jumped up in excitement. The best was my younger brother, I looked over at him and he was crying! I just teared up thinking about it.
What a relief to have our familiy know, it was so hard keeping it a secret. Did anyone else tell yesterday?

Re: We told our families the news yesterday
We broke the news on Thanksgiving. We bought each of is brothers a small baby gift, pacifier, bottle and a bib and they each opened it and put two and two together. We broke it to the rest of the family on a cake. We wrote our names and said that we are having a baby. So fun!
