We decided that our big trip to France in July of 2015 would also be the kick-off for taking the steps to growing our family. Jeff and I talked early in our relationship about having kids and we were in agreement about waiting a little while after getting married — but not too long! On October 13, 2015, (one month before our 2nd wedding anniversary) we shared the news with our parents and that we were expecting. I was about 7 weeks pregnant and we had gone to the doctor for the appointment and ultrasound the day before. We texted our parents (Jeff’s mom and my mom and dad) to schedule a “hey, let’s all have dinner on this random Tuesday evening”. We were very nonchalant about it (or so we thought), but the moms said they both thought something was up. Moms always know.
I stopped by the grocery store on my way home from work to pick up a small cake for dessert. I had them write “Baby Makes 3” to make the announcement. After dinner, I brought out the cake. Our mothers squealed with excitement and there were hugs all around. We all then began texting the photo of Jeff and me and our little baby cake to share the wonderful news with our immediate family and close friends.
