My husband and i live 9 hours from our family (due to him being in the military). We moved in April of 2017, so we haven’t been gone long! Well, in October, we decided it was time to add to our little family (👫🐱🐱) so we began trying for a baby! 👶🏼 On December 22nd, i decided to take a pregnancy test because we were leaving that day to head home to visit our family for Christmas. IT WAS POSITIVE (very positive)!!! 😊 I had no plans on telling my family during Christmas, (I was going to wait till after my first ultrasound just to be sure). But i just HAD to tell somebody!!! I have a bigger family who I’m very close to, 3 sisters and a brother. My oldest sister just had a baby 2 1/2 years ago and thats the first and only baby out of my siblings (so far😉) so why not tell her!? I told her the day after Christmas. She was so excited, we cried a little and she was asking me when i was going to tell everyone and she insisted on me telling everyone now. A couple days before we left to go back home, we all went out for dinner and we were planning to announce it then. My sister had this cute idea of getting my niece to wear a shirt that said “baby cousin coming 2018” SO CUTE! EVERYONE WAS SO SURPRISED! The eyes kind of went around the table until everyone was looking at me and my other sister was BAWLING, my brother was hugging me and it was just a sweet moment 😊 I just wanted to share these pictures of my niece, sorry she is a messy eater and would not stay still for a picture, 😂😂💖
