Whats up with the name??

Once i heard 'Upside Down Pickle in a Jar' as a metaphor for a baby in a womb, and thought it was pretty fitting for our blog. This is for all the family and friends that Ben and I unfortunately dont get to speak to often. You can feel like you are here in all the action!

Suprises!

So I thought I would do a post on the different ways we told people we were pregnant. After Ben and I found out at 9:40-ben remembers the time-we immediately went to tell my mom. We went to her house to "show her a hotel we found for our Atlanta trip",on the Internet. So she was in the living room while Ben and I were "pulling up the website". She came back and I pointed to the computer and said, "Ben and I kinda like this one".

Next I went to my friend Malina's house and just showed up with the test and gave it to her. She did a happy dance on her porch lol
The Next day at work I told my friend Amy. I told her that i had something for her in my makeup bag and I pretended to look for something in my purse. I was really getting my camera ready.


Then Amy and I went and told Ashley, who's threw her hands in the air and said "OMG. AAAND ITS HARRY POTTER WEEK TOO!!!"

Ben and I told my grandparents a few days later. Grandma didn't believe me, and Grandaddy was in shock and didn't say anything. Later grandma was skipping around the house lol

We told Ben's Brother and fiance, Lacey, a few hours before we told his parents. I was driving a rental truck at the time, and drove over at dinnertime to my In laws house and called Lacey and told her to come out to take a spin in the truck. when she got in, and we drove down the driveway and I told her the coolest part was the console. We opened it and the pregnancy test was in there. She flipped and I literally stayed home with her that night because I didn't know if she was gonna burst or not when Barry came home. haha So when Ben got off at 11, he came over to Barry and Lacey's house, and called Barry 'Uncle Barry'  and it took about 10 times before he got it. It was funny.

My dad owns a printing shop and they do vinyl work for cars. So I decided I was gonna ask him to make me a stick figure family to go on the back of my car. so I drew it out for him:
Well, he thought the baby was a peanut and it took him a good 15 feet of walking away so we could 'look at it inside' to get it:
The rest of our friends and family, we called. Everyone was happy and excited.
My friend Morgan is the first person to find out the sex of the baby in a few months, so we will be thinking of cool and creative ways to tell her and everyone else!
