Breaking news!

We were planning to wait to reveal our BIG news to my mom until next weekend, but she called earlier in the week to tell me that she was planning to come in town this weekend, causing us to need to speed things up a bit. 

My not drinking any wine during her visit would have been a dead give-away, plus I'd been dying to tell her anyway.... so I had to create yet another reveal surprise. 

Luckily, this one wasn't too hard to think up. My mom had text me on Monday morning to tell me that Kate Middleton was pregnant again! I knew that meant that my US Weekly would likely have tons of Royal Baby pregnancy coverage, and my mom always loves to catch up on her celeb gossip while visiting our house.  So... Friday after school I got a little crafty and doctored a few mags with our own "Shocking News"!

It's not my best work, but I was so afraid of fellow teachers walking into my classroom and busting me, that I was a little rushed!

Anyway, the plan was for Mason and I to be watching tv and hanging out in the living room and have these articles casually open on the coffee table while waiting for my mom to join us and notice them. 

Unfortunately, she did not sit in her "usual" chair so I had to shift my eye gaze to the magazines to get her to look at them. Luckily, she took the bait! I was able to sneakily capture her reaction on film: 
We were thrilled to finally be able to start sharing the news with family!

Next up: we are looking forward to sharing our baby secret with Mason's parent's in a couple of weeks when we go down to Houston for a visit! :) 

Pregnancy isn't the most fun thing in the world - but this part of it has been the best!
