This letter was written to our unborn child just after we told our immediate family about our news! Words cannot express how much fun a couple can have sharing their news and excitement with their loved ones! There are so many ways to share this news. We chose to use Skype and traditional phone calls (we were too excited to keep the news to ourselves any longer). How did you share your news?
Here is our letter to our little one:
10/4/12
My Little One,
"We find delight in the
beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the
body."

Mommy is now 8 weeks pregnant with you and we decided to
tell our immediate family. What a blessing it was to share our exciting news
with others. Daddy doesn’t normally do well with keeping secrets and Mommy was
so proud of him for keeping this secret for so long.
We asked Grandma and Grandpa on your Mommy’s side if they
would be able to Skype. Mommy, Daddy, Maggie, and Wes were all on the camera
while Mommy showed Grandma and Grandpa a pregnancy test and asked them if they
knew what it was. Both Grandparents were very excited. Feeding off of this
excitement, we then called Grandma and Grandpa on your Daddy’s side and all
your aunts and uncles. Guesses were already being made if you are a boy or
girl, with majority guessing girl.
Mommy’s birthday was on 10/1 and Mommy and Daddy decided to
tell Great Grandma and Grandpa when they
called to wish Mommy happy birthday. This threw all of these family members for
a loop, as no one expected it!
Celebrating the news about you has brought on many emotions
little one, from tears of joy to laughter to sheer happiness. Your family loves
you and can’t wait to meet you.
Love You Always,
Mommy and Daddy
