Once we found out we were pregnant, we knew we wanted to wait a little while before sharing the news...we were still getting used to it ourselves; and being in the medical field, we wanted to make sure that everything progressed ok.
One of our favorite pics of our Nugget :) Every ultrasound he is sucking on one hand and holding the other by his face. Still does that daily now too!
We knew we were going to go to Huntsville for Easter weekend, so thought that we would take advantage of that and tell them then!
We thought it would be fun to do an Easter basket for each side. We put candy and goodies in little eggs and then put one big egg in the middle with the first ultrasound in it. I would say that they were pretty shocked. When my parents opened the egg, my mom seemed pretty surprised and I think she thought we were kidding, haha. Dad smiled and chuckled, as expected ;). She just kept asking if we were serious. The video of it was too funny!
(Basket we got from Derek's parents, we were lazy and didn't take a pic of theirs we gave them)
Then we did Derek's parents, Seth, and Jess at their house. His parents went straight for the big egg, everyone looked very surprised. Derek's mom and sis were sweet and cried and everyone was very happy for us. I'm so glad we got their reactions on video :) Both sides have pestered (sweetly;)) us for 5 years to have them grandkids, so it was fun to be able to share the news!
We skyped my sister and brother and they were pumped too! Cait and Josh were excited that Eli would be a big cousin!
**Picture from today, 10days old!! We did a lot of lounging this morning while Derek had conference :) That little face keeps getting plumper!**
