Surprise!

For our second pregnancy I bought a plain white T-Shirt for our daughter then 1 1/2 and wrote on it with fabric paint. Surprise! I am going to be a big sister in September! We dressed her in her shirt and went to my parents house for dinner that night where the whole family was gathering for my mom's birthday. When we got there I asked mom to take off my daughters coat. But she didn't realize it at first until my daughter started running around the living room and you could see everyone's faces as they are reading her shirt. Someone then asked her if she saw her shirt so she looks at it and it takes her a minute and then she starts screaming oh my gosh! oh my gosh! and jumping up and down! After an announcement like that we had to be more creative for announcing we were pregnant again a year later! I designed a web page for baby #1 and added a paragraph to the end that says Surprise we are expecting again! Baby will be here in August! Then we e-mailed it to all of our friends and family!
