Telling my family we are expecting baby #2
To say my family was caught off guard by this announcement would be an understatement. When I was pregnant with Kinley (before announcing to my family) we celebrated my birthday, Fathers Day, Fourth of July, plus a few others, all while my family thought I was drinking during all of these occasions. They thought there was no way that we’d ever be able to pull that off a second time after them knowing what we did to keep it a secret the first time I was pregnant. About two weeks before Easter we went to lunch with my parents, one of my brothers, and a few others. My Mom was sitting across the table from me and as I was drinking my mocktail, she was laughing saying how she always watches out to see if I’m not drinking now. Little did she know that round 2 for us of having to pretend like I wasn’t pregnant had already begun. We decided Easter would be the perfect time to announce since the majority of the family would already be together.
Eric poked a hole in the eggs and got the yoke out of each of them and then I stuck a note in each egg that said, Kinley is a big sister to be - Egg-specting November 2019. I taped up the little hole and painted over it and placed each egg in its box.
Eric and I were the first ones to arrive for easter so we could talk to the server ahead of time and give her all of the boxes to hand out to my family. We knew if it was us handing them out, they would quickly catch on to what was going on. Since the server was the one to hand them out and because they thought I had already had a drink they were extremely confused at first to who was even pregnant. In the video you’ll see the initial confusion and the moment reality hits and they let it soak in for a moment haha.Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you enjoy watching!
Love, Paige.
