I was originally going to tell my family on Saturday but those plans did not work out so I went over there on Friday after my appointment. My mom had surgery a few weeks ago and is still recovering so before I went over I went and bought her some flowers. Then in the flowers there was a big balloon that said "Get well Soon." And in the back of the flowers was a tiny balloon that was either pink or blue and said either "Baby Girl" or "Baby Boy"
When my mom received the basket she was thankful and thought the flowers were lovely but she was slightly confused on while we would wait until now to give her get well flowers. But then she spotted the balloon and was thrilled to receive the news.
On Sunday James' family came for dinner and I decided to wait and tell them then. So I made a cake and the frosting between the layers was either pink or blue making the announcement. ( I first saw this idea on pinterest but then I saw another friend do it and I though it looked fun.) I made James' mom close her eyes while I cut into the cake and served her a slice. When she opened her eyes this is what she saw:
So we have a whole new set of adventure in front of us and I am excited to embark or them (although I am also a little nervous.)
P.S the recipe for the cake I made is found here.
