The One with How I Told My Family

I feel like I go through phases of blogging - three days of scrapbook stuff here, three days of nothing much there, three days of pregnancy stuff now... It's how I roll aight!

So I wasn't planning on telling my family at all. I was just going to have them read the blog post on April 2nd and be surprised like everyone else. But the stars aligned differently. Eric, my brother, who I hardly ever hear from, let alone get emails from, sent me, my sister, my mom, and my dad (so my entire family) an email, or rather, just a link:

The link was to this:

Why Eric thought a LOST maternity shirt was worthy of emailing to all of us, the world may never know. It's not like he's pregnant or finds pregnancy interesting or anything. But as soon as I clicked on the link my hands started shaking and I pressed "reply to all" with this message:

Not 30 seconds later my mom replied back with:

And the beans were spilled:

It's actually been so much better having my mom and family know right from the get-go. I've been able to talk to her about my problems and worries and she gets me through the tough days. So that's how my family found out. And I'm sorry cousin Ashley for straight up lying to you about it when I accidentally forwarded you the email :)
