NinjaMan and I live about 6 hours from my family and about 12 hours from his family, but we felt the big news was too exciting and important to tell our families over the phone. So, NinjaMan and I called our parents and told them we were coming to visit;this was the same weekend of finding out we were pregnant. The arrangement to get everyone together went on without a hitch and nobody suspected us of having news of pregnancy. My parents,sisters and grandparents came, NinjaMan's Mom,sisters and grandparents came and we all sat down in a private room at a local steakhouse. After everyone ordered their meals, NinjaMan gave a gift bag to everyone and I told them they all had to open their gift at the same time. My mother (who wants to be called Hot Mama instead of Grandmama) jokingly told me that she thought I was about to tell everyone I was pregnant. I could not look at her when I said "Just wait and open your gift!" for fear of giving the surprise away! When everyone looked in their bag they saw a plastic baby bottle, after having everyone pull out the bottles, I told them to open the bottle and pull out the paper. The paper was two of the sonogram pictures we were given when we found out we were pregnant.
Of course, NinjaMan's Mom and my Mom were the first to realize what these pictures meant. I looked at my parents and NinjaMan's Mom and saw them smiling from ear to ear with expressions of absolute joy on their faces.
