so we told my parents this weekend!!
Sunday we drove out there to stay overnight, as they were having a Memorial Day BBQ on Monday. So we get there on Sunday afternoon and my Mom was putting together dinner. She was taking FOREVER...and I just wanted to TELL HER! My plan was this:
I am a scrapbooker/paper-crafter so I knew I had to involve that somehow! I created a scrapbook page that says "Waiting for Baby"...and pasted 2 photos on it. One is of my H & I holding the digitial pregnancy test, and the other is a closeup of the test, where the word says "Pregant". So I took this page and stuck it into a scrapbook album that has a bunch of other recent pages that I have made.
I took the album out after dinner & said "Mom I really want you to look at the recent scrapbook pages I've made". So she started to flip through. My H was secretly filming with my digital camera. I was able to get my Dad to look too. She was reading EVERY page and looking at all the details...it was KILLING me. I'm like "dear LORD just FLIP THE PAGE!!" haha!
So finally she flipped to the page with the HPT, and it took a good 5-7 seconds for her to look at it, take it in, and realize WHAT she was seeing. She was BLOWN AWAY. She gasped, looked at me and said "ARE YOU PREGNANT????"
I said Yes, through some tears. She started to cry, and immediately started yelling "YAYY!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!" ha! She was super happy. So was my Dad. They were both taken back by how much of a suprise this was.
The bad news is that I think they were a) miffed that they cannot tell anyone and b) annoyed that I did not share with her that we were actively TTC. I felt bad, but...what can ya do?
I have a video of this. I might post it - not sure though as I'm trying to be all anonymous on here for now...
I also told my brother & a close family friend (they are like sister/brother to me). So only immediate family knows on my side. No one else. We are "coming out" at the 4th of July. We now have to figure out when we will be telling his folks...
