Announcing Baby Anderson

We are happy to announce that we are pregnant!!! Baby #2 is 11 weeks and a few days old. It was a difficult task this time around to hold the news in! Especially since I started showing at around 7 weeks! Thank goodness for the winter and baggy clothes.

The announcing started with Jammer's Mom, she was going to be in Hawaii with us so right then we knew we'd have to say something since I would be in a bathing suit and my being so thin normally would've been quite obvious something was going on. Hehe. It was a little earlier than I was ready to announce, wanted to try and wait a little bit longer, but it all worked out great. We had Tre give her a "Valentine's card". She flew into Hawaii the day after us so when Tre woke up from his nap and she arrived at the house after her flight we brought the card and Tre upstairs and Tre handed her the card. Here is the video...

Then the Sunday after we got home from Hawaii (Sunday, February 21st) we had planned to go up to OC to my parent's house to celebrate my Mom and nephew's birthdays with a family dinner. On Jammer's way home from work he called his Dad to announce the news, then on our way up to my parent's house we called Jammer's sister and brothers. We got a hold of his sister, Malia and she was very excited! We couldn't get a hold of his brothers, Justin & John so that was a bummer.

As soon as we got to my parent's house I was anxious to get the presents part going because I was feeling so uncomfortable having to hold something in front of my stomach and just felt awkward and wanted everyone to know already, so I asked if we could open presents before dinner. Luckily they agreed and my nephew started with his presents, I anxiously awaited my Mom's turn to open her gift from us (plus my sister Ashley had to work till like 6:30ish so I was hoping that she would get there in time). Here is a video of the pre-announcement, you can see the anxiety on my face as I ask Jammer if he is videotaping. I was so nervous. Then she opened her actual gifts from us first and then I told her to open the card last. Finally it was time for her to open the card and I had covered the pics with the ultrasound with a Tessa May Postcard and I think she was a little confused, like what does this mean because I didn't actually write anything on the card (I actually forgot to, whoops). Then she flipped to the next picture which was a collage of Tre, Noa and the ultrasound, she still almost didn't get it, but then the ultrasound caught her eye and she knew!!! Here is the video...

We then got a hold of Justin and John tonight and are happy to say that all of our immediate family is in the loop.

I have been keeping track of things in posts that were waiting to be posted for after we told our families, so I will be posting some of those over the next day if interested in reading and seeing ultrasound pics!

Here is a pic of what I gave to our Mom's, when they opened their cards...
