how we spread the pregnancy news

On Friday I posted about the different ways that I/we told people about this pregnancy.

With it being the holiday weekend… aka lack of people in blogland, I thought that I would share it again for anyone who may have missed it.
If this is a repeat for you, I'm sorry!

1 | how I told my farmer

First off, I didn't tell him.

My farmer has what is known as diarrhea of the mouth.

When I found out that I was pregnant this go around, we were about to head off on a trip with his family and I didn't really want everyone knowing that early.

So, no one knew.

Nearly two weeks I held this in.

And then, it was time.

I was emotional, and kind of crazy.

And he was going to call me out if I didn't tell him first.

So, I fancied up this little number:

I can't say he was surprised.

But he was definitely excited.

It was fun to do something a little special to tell him too,

since I've just told him the first moment I found out in the past.

2 | how we told friends and family

We waited a month before telling anyone.

And Ryan did surprisingly good at keeping his mouth shut.

I only threatened him a little bit.

And he only managed to tell our banker… and fertilizer salesman by default because he overheard him telling the banker.

Not bad.

I had big plans to tell all of our family and friends together.

It worked out very nicely that we had a big get together for Beckam's birthday.

It went down as follows:

I purchased two big brother shirts for the boys, and a big brother balloon.

The day of the party I packaged it all up in a big box, and taped a picture of the ultrasound onto the balloon string.

After everyone had arrived, and while we were doing a welcome, I said that we were going to let Beckam open just one present because he was so excited.

Everyone was gathered around and it was just perfect.

Here is a video of the actual moment…

3 | how we told the boys

The boys had no idea what was going on when they opened up the present {as you may have noticed}, so I had to pull them aside and tell them.

Brody has been wanting a baby in the family, so naturally he was very excited.

 Beckam could care less. Oreo's are far more interesting.

 Or maybe they both hate the idea?

No, definitely just Beckam. 

 I think he is coming around. 

He doesn't really understand what is going on honestly.

I love hearing about how people spread their pregnancy news…

Did you share in a fun way?

Or have you seen a different way to tell people?

Tell me about it!!
