Only Child Club - Membership expires....

 
We wanted to tell family in person this time around. Being in Austin and both sides in either Houston or Dallas... one family would've found out before the other if we traveled - didn't feel fair and it was just too hard to not let them know early on.
 
THIS YEAR - We stayed with my parents for Thanksgiving and just so happened that Kathy and Evan (Ry's mom and brother) were in Dallas for Thanksgiving with her mom, brother and sister. PERFECT opportunity to share the news.
 
You can see pics below of Landon's shirt. Ordered it of Etsy at The Pecking Order.
Silly pink snack cup...
 When we got to my parents house only my mom was home. We thought FOR SURE she'd see the shirt on him... but nope didn't noticed. She had lunch ready for him and as she got him in the high chair I said, "Hey isn't his new shirt cute?" She said "Oh yeah that's cute." Clearly didn't see it/read it. Ry and I start laughing and she goes "What? Ok lemme read it again.."
 
"I don't get it... oh wait....YOU ARE?!?! AHHHH!!!!"
So so excited... hugs all around.
 
Dad came home... gave Landon a big hug. "Hey like his shirt?!"
 
Read it real quick and his eyes got SO BIG. "Really?!?!? CONGRATS!!! That's wonderful!"
 
Then we let Auntie Jenn know when she got home from work and then Skyped with Uncle AJ with the news. They both were so excited. It's been fun seeing them as an Aunt and Uncle.
Sweet boy in his adorable shirt!
 When we went to see Kathy and the rest of the family at her brother's house she was the first to hug and hold Landon. Ryan prompted her to read the shirt. "Wait what does that mean?" (It really is a confusing shirt to figure out unless you're really thinking about it...)
 
Ry: "He's not going to be an only child for much longer..."
 
"NO WAY!!!! AHHHH!!! Yay! Congrats"
 
She ran in and told the family. Everyone was so sweet and excited for us. I had my first appointment the next week so I was almost 8 wks along. Definitely having those not-so-fun but reassuring symptoms so we felt good about telling.
 
Dancing??
We later tried to skype with Ryan's dad and Linda, howeverrrr, Landon wasn't cooperating and neither was technology. We ended up emailing them pictures and they were SO thrilled.

Such a fun time!
 
It's a wonderful life!
