Nov 22nd

Ryan my Godson is turning 5 on Monday the 24th so Sharon had his party the Sat before his b-day. My H and I still hadn't told anyone the knews and were debating on whether to tell Sharon and Amy O that day at the party.
My friend Sharon had recently had her second, Carly, on 10/28/08 and this would be the first time seeing her since she was born. Which I might add, Amy O and I got to spend time with her in the NICU for about a half hour the day she was born. It meant so much to me that the first time my best friend held her baby, we were there in the nursery with her! What a beautiful baby, weighing in at a whopping 10lb 1oz!
So, back to the party...Sharon made a couple references throughout the day that Carly needed a playmate!! So, at the end of the night after most of the guests had gone home, I decided to tell Sharon and Amy the good news. We were all sitting by the door and I told them that I had something to tell them. I then told them that Carly will have a playmate in July! They were both so happy and Sharon was crying! They had no idea I was about to announce the news and they were both excited for us:)


We still can't decide if we are telling our family on Thanksgiving (I will be 9 weeks, or wait until Christmas! Decisions, decisions.

Plus, I have ideas on how we want to tell the Grandparents to be.
For my parents, I want to get my mom a frame(and put the U/S pic it it) that says "Great Mom's are promoted to Grandmom's" from Hallmark. For my Dad, I saw a onsie on cafe press that said, "My Grandpop has more tools than you".

For C's parents I was thinking of doing the same, just a variation on the onsie for his dad. I think his mom would love the frame idea as well, so that is a great idea for both of our mom's.
