We debated for a while about when we should tell our parents about their grandchild. We planned a trip to Delaware for Labor Day weekend and it worked out perfectly because we got to see the baby for the first time on the ultrasound the day we left. We got up there late Friday night and were just hanging out in the kitchen with my parents while my mom finished preparing some stuff for a barbecue the next day. I had printed some pictures off of our new patio and some of the cakes I had just decorated. The last picture in the stack was a picture of my parents at dinner that I had printed with a Congratulations! border. They were both confused about the picture and that is when I told them that there was supposed to be one more picture and I pulled out the ultrasound photo. Lots of tears and hugging ensued. We also told my sister while we were home that weekend in almost the same way. Apparently since we had planned this spontaneous trip to Delaware lots of people were suspicious!!
Next we had to tell Jordan's parents. We had wanted to tell them on our way back from Delaware on Monday, but the drive always wears us out, so we made plans for dinner the next night. Over at their house we enjoyed a nice dinner. After we finished Jordan told his parents that we were going to be painting the office and pulled out some paint samples to get their opinion. He laid out two pink and two blue sets of paint chips on the table. They figured out right away what we would be painting for! Again lots of tears, hugging, and happiness.
Now we had more people to keep the secret with us for the next 5 weeks! It felt good to be able to finally tell someone!!
