Making Grandparents

We decided to wait until Christmas to tell our families about the pregnancy.  Nate's parents we ended up seeing on the 15th for the weekend so we were able to tell them then, and then we told mine on Christmas Eve.

These are the onesies I got as gifts to tell each of our parents.

This will be grandchild #18 on Nate's side but #1 on my side!

We told Nate's parents while we were out at dinner with just them.  We wrapped it up as an early Christmas gift and they were definitely surprised!

For Christmas, we went to my house late Friday night but didn't tell my parents until Monday morning when we exchanged gifts as a family.  I wanted it to be a complete surprise, and it was!  They were a little upset I waited until we were leaving (we went to see Nate's family Monday afternoon) but I think we were forgiven ;).

I feel so much better now that our families know and it doesn't have to be a secret!  I know we waited longer than most people to tell their parents but I wanted to do it in person and Christmas was the first chance we had.  Now we can slowly start telling friends.
