Daddy of 2 and Big Sister News!

So, I just can't text or call Dustin at work to tell him I'm pregnant. I mean, I could, but it's just so not my style.  I wanted to tell him QUICK because I just couldn't wait, so I called and asked if we could come to his work and have lunch with him.  We do this fairly frequently, so it wasn't out of the ordinary.  I decided to make Lyla a "Big Sister" shirt, and to have her wear it when we went to see him.  We hopped back in the car and over to Hobby Lobby where I bought some Iron on letters, and then went home to get to work.  2 minutes later, I had this!
She loved her new outfit, though she had no idea what it said.  :)  We loaded back into the car, and drove to Yukon.  I wanted to tell Dustin in private, (so that I could take pictures, and because I wasn't sure exactly what his reaction would be.)  When we got to the hospital, I asked him to meet us in the chapel.  He didn't ask any questions, and he came in and talked to us for a bit before I asked him if he had seen Lyla's new shirt.  This is what happened next:


His expression turned quickly from confused, to surprised, to excited.  We had a great lunch, and then we went on our way.  We decided to tell Lyles when we had more time to talk at home.  I didn't know if she would "get it" or if she would have questions.  I also wanted to document her reaction, of course.  
Lyla has a pretty good understanding of pregnancy and babies because I teach childbirth classes out of our home.  She sees women coming in over the last 12 weeks of pregnancy.  She sees their tummies grow, and then, about two months later, she sees those families return with their babies for class reunions.  She gets the gist of it. :)  This is what happened when we sat her down...


I think she's going to be a GREAT big sister! <3

  1. Her reaction was priceless! I can't wait to hear what she thinks when she watches it again in about 5-10 years. ;)
