I Thought You Should be One…AGAIN!

I was so excited that we found out that we were expecting our second baby when we did because my family was going to be coming into town soon! I didn’t get to tell them in person with Jase, so I couldn’t wait to get to see their faces when they found out this time around.

Chad and I thought it would be really cute to continue with the same little saying I used when I told him. So, we printed pictures of each family member with Jase and put them all in frames. I took some twine and a little gift tag and wrote on the tags, “You’re such a great ____, I thought you should be one again!” and tied it with twine around the frame. Then we wrapped the frames so they wouldn’t see it right away and could open it all together.

We told my family first because we just happened to be seeing them before anyone else. I really wanted to get some photos or take a video of it, but I didn’t know how to do that without them noticing something was going on. But I will never forget their reactions and the smiles on their faces! It’s always funny watching someone read something and take time for it to actually click in their brains the reality of what it said. My mom was the first to catch it, and her head popped right up with a huge smile on her face. They shouted from that moment that this was going to be a girl!

We brought the frames to Chad’s parents and had them open theirs together and they were both as equally excited! They love being grandparents that I know they can’t wait to have another little one to spoil. Chad’s brother lives out of town, so we edited a photo through text with the same saying and sent it to them. Funny story was that my sister-in-law was pregnant at the time she received the photo and was still holding on to her little secret! Our babies are only going to be three weeks apart!
