Courtney
After Pa & Ma, we decided to tell Courtney that she was going to be a big sister. It was no easy task getting the chance to do that. Courtney has a crazy busy social life, and often misses her weekends with us due to parties, sleepovers and such.
Fortunately we managed to lure her over for the weekend with the promise of Breaking Dawn and Olive Garden. :)
At home, in the evening, we sat her down. Spencer started the process.
Spencer: Can you keep a secret?
Courtney: Immediately looks suspicious
Spencer: Well, can you?
Courtney: Erm. Yeah.
Spencer: Ok. Well... you're going to be a big sister. Grace is pregnant.
Courtney: Hands over mouth, turns bright red
Grace: Courtney, are you okay?
Courtney: Speechless
Anyway, I think that went pretty well hehe. We swore Courtney to secrecy until Thanksgiving lunch, which was when we planned to break the news to the Clarks. After recovering from her shock, Courtney quickly got down to helping us pick out baby names. :)
Popo and Kung Kung
The same weekend we had an appointment to meet Popo and Kung Kung on Skype. After a small technical glitch (ah technology), we got down to the business. Popo was happy to hear the news, cautioning me not to put on too much weight: "No wonder that day I noticed your face look fat". Yes Popo hehe.
The Clarks
A few days later at the Clark Thanksgiving Meal (which we hosted this year), Spencer executed our plan to break the news to them. The plan was, before the prayer for the meal, to go around the table and have everyone say what they were thankful for, ending with Spencer's announcement, which went something like this:
"I would like to thank all of you for coming and spending Thanksgiving here with Grace and I. And I am thankful for the baby that is growing inside Grace."
And that was that. :p
