Ahhhh the last day of a restful long weekend!! Our weekend was filled with camping, relaxing and spending time with great friends that came in from out of town. Friday night was definitely my highlight though! When we decided that we were going to find out the gender of our baby I knew I wanted to announce it in a fun way. Come on… it’s me! I can always find an excuse for a craft, a diy or a photo shoot. I wanted to reveal it in a unique way so after much thought I decided on Continue reading
I can’t hold it in anymore because I can’t hide it anymore! I’m pregnant! And five months of it!! I got asked by family and friends recently why I hadn’t shared my news on the blog yet. In all honesty…. I guess I have always felt like pregnancy is such an intimate time in a couple’s relationship.

Of course to each their own because some people are dying to tell everyone the second they see two lines! I even waited one day to tell my hubby that news because I wanted to make it extra special for him too. Then by a month and a half we told parents and siblings and by two and a half months all our extended family and close friends knew.
The age-old rule of waiting 3 months to share the news is to each their own. I personally felt that before the 3 month mark I wanted to tell close family and friends because those are the people I know would support me if anything happened. And life is to short to always worry about the “what-ifs” anyways. My advice… don’t listen to anyone’s advice….haha. Tell people when YOU want to tell people because it’s your pregnancy.
But now that the news it out in the open…. along with my growing baby bump, I thought I’d share how I broke the news to everyone…. Continue reading
