Well!! We did officially cave and tell our families this past week! It was so much fun surprising them with gifts and seeing the shock on their faces! We told our parents and our sisters but my BIL will have to wait until his package arrives in the mail later this week... I'm sure he's very curious about what is in this mysterious package!
Our dads got t shirts that said "Great Dads Get Promoted to Grandpa". Our moms got a picture frame with a First Grandchild Poem. We gave our sisters calendars and told them we wrote all the important dates (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) on them and suggested they check it out to make sure they saw what was written on July 27! For my BIL we got a bottle open made out of bike parts and put a note on it saying "To open a celebratory beer..." then inside an envelope is a picture of a little t-shirt we bought that says "I'm a Hawkeye just like my uncle". His reaction will be interesting... Mostly because he's not a Hawkeye but rather a diehard Cyclone, but of course our kid will not be wearing red and yellow! I can't wait until his package arrives and then all of our family members will know! For now it's our little family secret... We don't want to start spreading the word to everyone else until Christmas/New Years time when I'm about 10 weeks.
It's definitely starting to feel a little bit more real!
