We knew that we wanted to tell Kristen before we told a bunch of other people, so we pretty much kept the pregnancy to ourselves, minus our parents and siblings and a few close friends (a couple of whom guessed!) We knew that if we told more than that, the news would get back to Kristen, and we wanted it to come from us. We also knew that once we told her, we would have to be ready to tell everyone else. (She's not the best secret keeper!) We initially wanted to wait a little longer to tell her, but she was wondering why I kept eating Saltine crackers for dinner, and was tired all the time. My doctor wanted me to come in around 7 weeks for an ultrasound because of a previous miscarriage, and some fertility issues, so we decided that if everything went well at that appointment, we would tell her that night. It went great, and so here's how we told her:
1. We took her to our favorite restaurant (Mexican- yummy!) In hindsight, I probably should have moved the cup! haha:
2. We bought her gifts:
3. She said she is, "very happy." about being a big sister.
4. We asked her what babies need and she said, "A crate, a rattle, covers, and a pillow."
5. We asked her what big sisters do and she said, "Change diapers, and help mommy get the room ready."
