Wearable Announcement

When I found out I was pregnant, I was a bit surprised. My husband and I had been planning on starting a family, but not for a couple of months. As soon as I found out, I started thinking of ways I could tell my husband. I remembered that I had just that day bought a black tank top that had a velcro panel on the chest and came with a bunch of velcro letters. I decided to arrange the letters on the top to say: Jim I am pregnant! When he got home from work I acted as if everything was just normal and waited until he noticed my new shirt and read the front. He read it...stuttering..."Jim...I am....what?...pregn....you are!...are you really?!" It was really neat.

A couple of days later, we told our best friends the same way. They are pregnant also, about a month further along. We made the shirt read: Pregnant Too! It was really cool when they saw it! There wasn't a dry eye for any of us.

We are waiting to tell our families until we are 3 months along...I want to tell them in person and I am going to visit in September...I got a lot of good ideas here on how to tell my mom and dad and sister. They will be soooo excited! I can't wait!
