Telling the Family

Today was Pop Pop's 80th birthday and I couldn't think of a better time to share the news of our pregnancy with the family. Todd and I thought it would be a GREAT idea to surprise everyone with the news and capture the moment in a picture. We decided to get all the women of the family around Pop. Todd's job was to take the picture and instead of "say cheese" he would say "say Dina is pregnant" and take the picture.

I told mom about this plan and she thought it would be a great idea. When Todd and I arrived, you could tell how stressed mom looked. I could tell she was dying to tell someone. She kept asking "when are you going to do it!!!!". I started to get a little hot flash and nervous about the picture for some reason. When I told her when it was a good time to do it, she nearly picked Nanny up over her shoulder to get her in to the kitchen for the picture. So here we go.....

As you can see...it hasn't really registered yet. Aunt Doreen got it! Nicole did too..I think. Here is the second picture taken right after. I think they got it now!

We are so excited that we were able to surprise everyone on such a special day. Happy Birthday Pop. Great grandchild number one million...coming right up!
