How We Broke The News

I knew that I wanted to do something unique to tell Brian that we were having a baby, so on the day that I found out I emailed Brian at work and told him that I would be making a new dessert after dinner that evening, one that my boss had recommended (big lie). So after dinner that evening I prepared the 'scrumptious' dessert and put the positive pregnancy test next to it, along with a baby bib that said "I Love Daddy". I had the video camera ready and then called to Brian in the living room to come in and help me carry the dessert to the living room. Well needless to say, the dessert never was carried to the living room and definitely wasn't eaten! Below are a couple of pictures...


Yummy dessert - Pickles & Ice Cream


Happy Daddy


We called all our closest family members who lived out of town to give them the good news, which included Brian's Mom and 2 of my sisters and my brother. If any of you read the blog around Christmas time and the prank that my sister Lisa pulled on Brian by giving him a calendar as a Christmas gift, then you will understand why we used a calendar to tell Lisa that she was going to be an Aunt. We told Brian's Dad and Mary by giving them a picture frame that had a picture of a baby carriage and said "Baby Young, September 2009". We told his sister and brother-in-law the day that they came over for Brittany's Mary Kay makeover by giving them a printed out email 'from the baby'.
