Pregnancy Announcement
Collection #36

My husband and I were very excited about our pregnancy just as most everyone else. We told our immediate family in fun ways but the most fun was when we told our friends that we get together with once a month for a meal at one of the restaurants in town.

We decided that we would create a special menu to insert into the real menu. We arrived early to make sure the hostesses could handle the request. The menu simply indicated "today's specials" and we listed several of the typical specials, then at the bottom we put, "Baby available in June, tiny fingers and tiny toes, courtesy of James and Valerie.......Priceless"

When we were finally seated James and I just sat back and watched the reactions of our friends as they were making their dinner selection. The two women were talking on a subject that just kept them going and going and they hadn't even picked up the menu! One of the husbands looked at the "specials" and said, "oh I don't need to look at this, I know what I want" then the other husband was reading the specials and started reading the "surprise" quietly but out loud in a confused tone. He elbows his buddy and gets louder and louder..."hey, does this say what I think it says???" They both read it again and start whooping and hugs began as the wives were so very confused as to what in the world was going on...it didn't take them long to figure it out. It was really fun to see their reactions.
