Mom reaction and telling the boys

For some reason, I can't post my video directly to my blog so you'll have to click on the link to watch.


 This one is when we told my side of the family. Ironically my mom and I had JUST been talking about the heartache of the past year or so. She gave me a huge hug and told me that things work out and that she thought I was a doing a great job with the boys. Love the mom pep talks. I almost spilled the beans right then!
I gave everyone a small gift wrapped in Thanksgiving paper. Inside was a frame with a picture of the positive pregnancy test and the words, "We're grateful for you and for your prayers......because miracles happen."
If you know my mom, her reaction won't surprise you one bit!!
Hold on to your hats!

After we told everyone we called the boys in and gave them a big puzzle to put together. They were more....confused then anything. Parker later asked, "Mom, are we adopting a baby?"
He remembered a day back in August where I was upset in my room. We sat the boys down and told them that we probably wouldn't have another brother or sister in our family.
Sorry, you'll have to watch it sideways as Nate switched over to recording it from the other angle in the beginning. Anyway, here is the link for it:


Enjoy!
