We found out about our pregnancy on March 18, 2010 and were excited and nervous all at the same time. After confirming the pregnancy with our doctor, we debated on telling family right away or waiting a bit to make sure things started out smoothly. We decided to reveal the pregnancy during our Easter lunch at Gammy's house. It turned out perfect, Nate's family was there as well as mine. Nate and I tossed around ideas of what we could do to be creative and surprise everyone, and Nate came up with the perfect plan.
Each year at Easter we do an Easter egg hunt for a plastic egg with our name on it. No matter the age, all of Gammy's grandchildren participate. The adults hide the eggs and the "kids" go look for them. Inside the eggs is money and candy! This year, with the help of Aunt Wilma, we added a fun game. Wilma stuffed all of the eggs with a notecard (which I made). On one side of the notecard was a letter and the other side had a number. So, Wilma pulled out a big sign which had numbers on it and explained the game (as if it was one she created). Once everyone had found their eggs, we began adding our letters to the board. Whoever had number 1, went and placed their letter on the board in the right spot, and so on down the line. It took awhile for the words to begin to develop...the board read.... "Mathews chick hatching Nov 2010" Gigi kept thinking it was going to say something about Cashew chicken. Eventually everyone caught on and the celebrating began!
