My parents were coming down to our place for the weekend to help with Anna's baby shower and visit the relatives that would be in town that weekend. I wanted to tell them in person so badly but I also didn't want our news to take anything away from Anna and Nate's Baby festivities. It was a very tricky situation!
The shower was going to be at our house so I was able to persuade my mom and dad to come over to help get things ready the night before and just hang out. We cleaned up the house and ordered pizza from Nick's (delicious, and a family tradition). Jason and I decided to tell them that night. I had made a video and sometimes share funny YouTube videos with my family so I told them that I had found a video I thought would be funny to show Nate and Anna at the shower. They were sitting next to each other on the couch and were watching it as Jason and I watched them... After a couple minutes, the words on the screen started to click and the pictures were making more sense. At the end, my mom and dad were a little puzzled.
"Really?" "Did I see that right?"
-Watch it again, Mom.
The second time around, they put the pieces together.
We got a big smile out of my dad and a "Good work! Congratulations!"
My mom put down the computer and was in a happy state of shock! She wanted to tell everyone! I had to remind her... that we didn't want everyone to know until we made it through to Thanksgiving which would be about 3 weeks away.
We told them the story of how we told Deb and Jerry a few days before and my mom said that she couldn't wait to do a happy dance with Deb! She started dancing around saying, "I'm gonna be a Grandma!"
I have a feeling that they called Deb and Jerry the next day. They had to talk about it with someone!
