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

The week before Christmas we found out that we were expecting our second & last baby. We decided to wait until Christmas Day to share our secret. We were standing in line at the grocery store when I came up with the perfect way to let everyone know. I spotted a pocket size book of baby names & added it to our order. I took it home & stuffed it into the middle of my mother's stocking. On Christmas morning everyone gathered at Mom's to decorate the tree & house. We also exchanged gifts & shared breakfast . I made everyone watch Mom checking her stocking without telling them why. Dave (my hubby) had the camcorder rolling to catch the reactions. Mom seemed to take forever to find that book. I thought I would bust. she finally pulled out the book & said "oooo I got a book of baby names." Then all of a sudden she was saying "oh my G*d,oh my G*d " over & over. My sister just looked at me disbelievingly & said "No,no, no. Are you having another one? You're crazy." All I could do was nod & laugh & cry. It was wonderful & I can't wait to show it to our son when he's older. Maybe my sister was right. Maybe I am a little crazy since our daughter will only be 15 months when our son is born. Anyway I thought it was a wonderful way to share the news.
