Announcing Your Pregnancy Collection - Stories of Telling People You're Pregnant

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.
