So after a week long fabulous vacation with my family it was
time to go back to Alabama. This was made much easier by knowing that we still
had our good news to share with the other people we love! So the weekend after
vacation we made a trip back to Lexington to tell Jordan’s family. First we
told Jeremy and Sally because they were not able to come to dinner that night.
So Jordan went fishing with Jeremy and told him the way guys share news about a
baby I guess. Meanwhile I went to hang out with Sally and the kids. While Sally
was away for a moment I was able to tell Jack and Anna. They are both very
familiar with what having a baby in your belly means because they have two
other aunts that are pregnant as well. So luckily for me, no further explanation
was necessary. So when Sally returned the kids yelled “Shellain has a baby in
her belly”. Of course lots of hugs and smiles ensued.
We wanted to share the news with each individual family separately
so we had time to see each reaction and talk to them about it afterwards. So
when Jordan’s parents came home from work and before Justin and Nichole came
over, we wanted to tell them. Jeremy and Sally ended up coming over for a bit
so they could take pictures of Rick and Brenda’s reaction. When Brenda came in from work Ms. Anna was so
excited to not only see Grandma but she also had a secret to keep! Well that
secret was just too much for her to keep in because she was so excited about
it! So when She talked to Grandma for a minute she let the news slip! It was
just so cute, that she was so happy for her Aunt Shellain and Uncle Jordan.
Needless to say we didn’t get any pictures but it was still very memorable!
Next up to tell was Justin and Nichole! When they came over
with the kids we stuck to our original plan. While we were on vacation Steven
took fabulous pictures for us. So we stuck our announcement pictures in with
other vacation pictures. While they were flipping through other vacation
pictures they would stumble upon our announcement pictures. Of course there was
more excitement and hugs to come our way! I can’t explain how much fun it is to
share such wonderful news about our family with everyone who cares about us!
One thing I have noticed while telling little kids that
there is a baby in my belly is their eyes go directly to my stomach. Of course
it looks nowhere close to having a baby in it this early but it is so cute to
see the puzzlement on their faces.
I have attached the pictures that we used to share the news
with Jordan’s family. Steven did such an awesome job with these! He really
should consider changing careers.
