We had our first ultrasound on July 14th which confirmed that there was in fact a baby in my tummy. I was only 6.5 weeks along! After that, we couldn't help but start telling family.
That upcoming weekend, we made the trip down to both Ryan's grandparent's and parent's house. We gave each of them a framed ultrasound picture. Before unwrapping it, we told them that it was a souvenir from Italy. Our baby will be the first grandchild for Ryan's parents and the first great-grandchild for Ryan's grandparents. It felt so good to have the love and support from the both of them!
I bought a plane ticket to go visit my mom and the rest of my family in New Orleans. So, it was a week and a half later and I was so excited for my trip and couldn't stop thinking about how my mom would react. I knew that she has been waiting patently for a grandchild for years now. Here is where my "plan" fell apart. I had morning (all-day) sickness really bad. I knew that I wouldn't be able to make it to the airport and take the flight in the condition that I was in. To say that I was disappointed would be an understatement. Plan B: Call my mom and tell her. She was so happy! She was also disappointed that I couldn't make the trip, but didn't care, because she was going to be a grandma!
Now for how I told my sister and Kyle. Since they live 9 hours a way, I decided to mail her a package. Once she would open the package, she would know right away. She called me once she opened it and screamed louder than a toddler in Walmart. Here is what I sent her....
