so, true story…
i was lamenting the fact that #2 wasn’t going to be a huge surprise to anyone…
and i so loved the surprise of #1, that i really wanted SOMEONE to be surprised….
so, chris may or may not have known we were “trying”… {cough…}
in full disclosure, i only surprised him by a few months of what we had discussed,
but it nevertheless made for a fun surprise, and a fun secret to keep for a few months…
{slash a hint frustrating, if you know what i mean. ha!}
i knew within days that i was in fact pregnant.
i could sense it in my gut,
i was feeling the familiar pang of a sore chest,
and actually noted a change in my appetite pretty early.
{or lack thereof}
so, i took a test a day early, cause i was having a hard time with patience.
no point in checking twice, or waiting a day, i was sure.
and i was also sure i couldn’t hold this news longer than 6 hours!
so, when cc came home, i admitted that i had no dinner ready
{all in my evil plan for an instant dinner date…}
and that i needed some cute photos for a blog post…
{which is technically true…cause they’re here and all.
and i am so glad i caught his face.}
so, i left some books carefully placed on the couch and he
sat right down to read to boss his favorite book, that he had fished out of a large pile…
my heart suddenly raced behind the camera as i realized this could be a shock in a bad way… i had to take deep breaths to avoid letting on my nervous excitement…
Oh my gosh! This is so sweet and fun. What a great way to tell your husband. And you captured the moments on camera is going to be forever priceless. Congrats, Meg!
That is beyond sweet. I knew about #2 before my husband too (when you are screaming at your toddler for NO reason, you might be pregnant . . . ). I wasn't as clever as you though, I just bombarded him with a pregnancy test the second he walked in the door 🙂
Brilliant!! Completely brilliant. I love it. Copying this. Someday.
I love how you captured it all with your camera…how special! And the note in the book is so sweet (I love the use of washi tape too!) Congrats to all of you!
That's so cute and special! I love the reaction =)
So stinkin' cute! Very original, too!
That was the cutest thing ever!!!! 🙂 This is Lori, by the way.
Oh my heck I am crying Meg!! I feel like I can always sense being preggo but then again it is probably because I want to be so bad! Lol What a fun way of telling him! I already know how I want to tell my hubby but it is food related.. go figure! Haha
So exciting! Congrats! Seeing #1 as a big brother is the best!
I love that. Having it on camera is so precious. Although I'm glad my husband wasn't on camera when I told him we were having #5 … that kind of panic and shock shouldn't be captured. 🙂
AGHHH! Adorable! 🙂
What a great way to reveal to him! It's nice when husbands are predictable 🙂 Congratulations!
What a cute idea! I love that you have pictures of his reaction – your next baby will love those pics when he/she is older. I may steal this idea when it comes time!
This is SUCH a great idea! I might have to steal this one day! You are so creative! Those pictures are PRICELESS!!
So cute! His reactions are awesome, and having them on "film" is priceless!
That is such an adorable idea! And congrats! That is one of my favorite books to read to my son!! Maybe I'll have to steal your idea someday…. 😉
AWE!! That's so special you caught his reaction. What a great idea!!!
CONGRATULATIONS! It was such a cute idea and the pictures are priceless.
Oh Meg, that made me cry!! Such a sweet way to share the news xxoo
That is adorable. I'm totally teary-eyed over here in Tucson. I'll have to remember this one for our next baby. Maybe I can surprise my man, too. 🙂
