Telling the Fam!

Telling the Fam!

We, or should I say I  decided to tell our families very early that we were pregnant.  I decided to do this for a few reasons.  One is that everyone I work with would soon be finding out because there are a few types of cases that you can not be a part of when you are pregnant due to fumes, excessive x-ray etc.  I didn't want all of the St. E hospital OR to find out before our families.  

We decided to tell my family over Easter weekend.  I devised this whole plan to tell them after an adult Easter Egg Hunt.  We assigned three teams to compete.  My parents were a team. My Aunt and Uncle were a  team, and my Cousin and her husband were a team.  My brother acted as the photographer of the event.  My grandparents watched out the window as the chaos began. Dave and I hid the eggs and the team that showed the overall highest enthusiasm as well as gathered the most eggs would win a giant surprise egg.  It was fun to watch all the adults run around looking for eggs, especially my Dad who insisted on looking in places we told him there were no eggs (he thought we were tricking him).  Ultimately the giant surprise egg was given to a non-participant,  my grandmother because she has been on bed rest due to a vertebral fracture.  Inside the Golden Egg held LOTS of confetti and a Onesie that said "Baby Kaiser Due Nov 21st."  Everyone was shocked!!!!  I think I threw them all off earlier that day when I ordered a glass of wine and just kinda carried it around with me for awhile.  It was such a relief to get the news out because I was feeling so lousy and nauseated.  I had spent the entire morning acting like I felt great when all I really wanted to do was puke.

More Pics from my brother to come, but here are a few that I took.....
