Surprise!

Caleb is going to be a big brother!

We are excited to finally be able to share this news with everyone!

Mommy and Caleb went to the Doctor’s on December 23rd for just a normal “yearly” appointment.

While we were there we found out some pretty exciting news! It was Mommy, Caleb, Dr.R and her nurse Becky celebrating in the office! It’s kind of funny because all of the previous pregnancy tests that we have taken have been deliberate and done together. But not with baby #2! We had been trying but didn’t think anything would be positive just yet! Because we had no idea how far along we were, no dates to compare to, they did blood work as well to get an idea so we could schedule an ultrasound to get an official due date.

But we couldn’t just tell Daddy over the phone. So we avoided his calls all day and when he got home we had a early Christmas gift for him!

After he opened it, I got a “REALY!!!??”, a high five and a hug!

(Yes! We wore matching outfits to the doctor, don’t judge! I love it.) Smile

We had to make a decision quick! We were going to see all of his family the next day(for Christmas) and be spending the whole weekend with them. Do we break the news early early before we even know too much information or do we share? We decided to take them opportunity of face to face sharing(with his side!).

The reveal.

Picture #1 “Say cheese”.

Picture #2: “Say Caleb’s going to be a big brother!” WHAT!!!!?!? No one knew what to do, notice the big smiles! Of course GMaw knew exactly what that meant! Look at her and Caleb!

Next we had to tell immediate family we weren’t with.

Aunt Alison, Uncle Zach& Auntie Ashley got phone calls to share our exciting news.

We used Sykpe to tell Nana and Uncle John and Uncle Scott.

"SURPRISE!”
