The Big Revealing

We found out that we were pregnant at the end of July. We were very excited when we found out. We also had a lot of thoughts about how much our lives would change. We did not wait long to tell our immediate families because it was too exciting to wait. We thought long and hard about how we would tell them and finally came up with a little fun way to share our news. We found a small puzzle and wrote a message on the back, we then put the puzzle pieces in a sandwich bag and taped it on the outside of the puzzle box.

 When the family was done putting the puzzle together they found this message written on the back.

As you can tell we didn't give away our little secret right away. Inside the wrapped puzzle box was two little bibs that said " Grandma Loves Me" and "Grandpa's Sidekick".

I think that surprise is the best way to describe our families reaction to our news. We kind of hit them with that one out of the blue. We also made them promise that they would not say anything to anybody else until we were ready to share our news with other family members and friends. We were very impressed when everyone held true to their promise. We waited another 15 weeks to tell our extended family and friends. Everybody was extremely happy for us!
