Revealing our pregnancy to our family and friends has been one of the greatest moments next to finding out we were expecting. Each separate reveal was absolutely wonderful and I don't want to forget a minute.
Telling my family:
For months it was planned to meet my family in College Station. Since it was the Sunday before Spring Break, I felt it was a great time for a visit and perfect timing to reveal our sweet secret. Before our visit, we made this cute box for my mother to thank her for all of the scarves, hats, and crocheted goodies that she has made for me. Inside the box were two sweet yarn rolls of baby blanket, one boy inspired and one girl. The note read, "You are going to be SEW EXCITED!" Under the bundles of yarn was our 8 week sonogram. My family was very excited about our news!
After our delicious lunch and trip to Aggieland with my mom and brother, we decided to head home to Sugar Land to tell my dad as well. Sadly he wasn't feeling well and couldn't make the trip. So while in Aggieland we picked up a sweet Aggie Grandfather decal and included a picture of the sonogram for him. He was so sweet and so excited about our news. I know my parents are going to be such an amazing OMA and OPA as well as my brother, a fantastic uncle! I can't wait:)
Once we revealed the news to my father we were on our way out for the Zellner reveal. We had known that we were going to go home to tell his family; however, we sort of filled them in last minute. Our "story" was that since Ray took off and we were close to home for Spring Break, we just would come in town for the night.

The Zellner Reveal:
Since St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, we had these adorable Lucky Charm buckets made. It read, "Our lucky charm is due October 9, 2013."

All of Ray's family came over for dinner and a sweet dessert. Ray and I decided to pick up a cheesecake from Cheesecake factory. It was delicious. After a bit of conversation, Ray passed out the little buckets and said we had a fun little St. Patrick's gift for them. The reactions were priceless. From cheerleader jumps, to loud screams, and hugs all around, it was sure a sweet reveal.
We are so thankful for the amazing family and friends that God has given us. We know our sweet little one is already so loved!
