We celebrated Jaxon's 2nd birthday on Sunday June 12th and we had immediate family over plus the grandparents. It was such a fun day - so to tell the family we decided we would give it to Jaxon in a present.... so we bought him a shirt that said "I'm the big brother". We gave him that gift last. My sister Whitney was helping him open it and she just pulled it out and held up the shirt - most people didn't really read it, but my mom did - she started reading it out loud and got to "I'm the big....." and then she gasped so that got peoples attention. Then they all looked, read, and started screaming, crying, asking if we were serious lol - and then they all came up and hugged and congratulated us.
It was a fun way to tell everyone - they were all really surprised and we did it after everything with Jax was over so we didn't really take away from him.
I don't know why I was so nervous to tell everyone haha - but after I felt so relieved. Since I am only 7ish weeks along - we are trying to decide weather or not to tell other people now - or maybe we should wait until after I have my first doctors appointment. Dan just wants to tell everyone now - he is soooooo bad at keeping secrets (even worse than me haha) so who knows what will happen. But everyone liked the way we told them and its nice to know that my family knows now and I don't have to try and hide it when I'm feeling sick since we are living with them and that has been the hardest part haha!
I'm so excited!!! And what a freaking adorable way to tell everyone! You're lucky that all your family is so close and you're able to do that. Sean and I wanted to do something fun, but since everyone lives so far, we just called. But we're planning a fun way to tell them what the sex is!! :)
