Announcing Baby Long!

We finally announced our pregnancy to our families and friends. It felt like we had to wait forever to share our news! We wanted to wait until we had the first ultrasound so we had to wait until I was almost 9 weeks. We went home over the weekend and shared the news first with our closest family. We told my mom and dad on Friday night. I tricked them by putting the u/s pictures in a picture album. We were flipping through the album looking at pictures of Jacob and I and when I turned the page they saw the ultrasound! It took them a second to figure out what the pictures were. They were as excited as we were!

We told my mamaw, papaw, and sissy on Saturday. It was a beautiful day so we spent the afternoon outside. ( I actually got to sit in the sun in a tank top!!) I put a baby bottle in their outside refriderator and when I got it out, I asked them what it was and who would need a bottle?!  It took them a while and some hints to figure out that our baby was who needed the bottle! 

We told Jacob's family Saturday evening. Our baby makes their 13th grandchild. They were very happy for us too! We learned that Jacob was his grandma's 13th grandchild and our baby will be his mom's 13th. How cool is that?!?

 Here are the videos of our announcement.

* Sorry Mom, the better video would not load! =(

 

As you can tell, everyone was overjoyed!!

A few days later we decided to announce on face book. These are the pictures we took. I was 9 weeks exactly when we took the photos!

Mommy and Daddy!

Is that a little bump I see?!

This one is my favorite.

  After we posted the pictures on face book we had hundreds of likes and thoughtful comments. We feel very blessed that so many awesome people are in our lives!
