Announcing Your Pregnancy III


My husband created a website http://www.matierfamily.org and sent an email out to everyone with the news. We included pictures of ultrasounds and a program he wrote to tell people the news.

Our families loved it!

My husband and I found out we were expecting our first child a week before mothers day. I knew I had to tell my mother in a very special way. I went to the flower shop and purchased a pink and blue carnation and a mothers day card. In the card I wrote a short message from the baby that said "Dear Mamaw, I hope you have a wonderful mothers day, See you in January. Love Anna or Caleb Harris". I then took the carnations and card to my moms office and had one of her friends give it too her. I didn't stick around because I had to get to work but when I got to work I had a message to call my mom. My sister who works with me (its a family owned business and my dad runs it) said "mom called and insisted I put her right through to dad or else"! Needless to say my mom was pretty surprised but loved the flowers and will always have the card as a reminder of how she found out about her grandchild.

Well, it's Father's Day. A big day for me this year. I have the pleasure of spending the day with my husband, a newly expecting Dad - his first Father's Day, and my Dad. My Mom already knows about my pregnancy. It was just confirmed last week, my EDD is 2/24/00/. My Mom is a bit superstitous and did not tell my Dad feeling that we might want to wait until the end of my first trimester - but there is no way that I can keep the secret that long! I'm 38 years old, and a first time Mom, I want to scream my news to the WORLD! Today, we will be visiting my Mom and Dad for Father's Day Lunch, and I plan on giving my Dad a Grandpa's Father's Day card from the baby to let him know that the baby will be here for Father's Day next year!

I'll think he'll be thrilled, I'm an only girl of 4 children. I'll update you on how things go! Have a great Father's Day everyone!
