I was racking my brain of how to announce. There were so many ideas out there and none of them were really calling out to me! And I had tons of ideas that I had built up over the years but none of them felt right. One day I had the perfect idea though!
We had been talking about taking the kids to Disneyland this year but hadn't gotten to the point where we were committed, until the day I sent Kameron a text and told him I had the perfect idea to announce but we were going to have to commit to Disneyland for this idea! I kept having the phrase "dreams come true" referring to Disneyland come to mind and kept thinking well we can't do anything dealing with Disneyland because I want to announce NOW! haha and Disneyland, if we go, won't be for a couple months. But then I got the idea to announce that we were going to Disneyland AND HAVING A BABY! That way we could do it now and not have to wait until we actually went to Disneyland!
I had two pairs of ears, so we decided to order us all shirts and ears for Kam and the kids and then take a picture with us in them and me holding the second set of ears I had at my belly! At this point when we decided all this the kids didn't know we were going so on July 2nd when Kameron got home from a class we doorbell ditched some packages for the kids on the front porch. The day before I had written them little notes telling them how excited Mickey and Minnie were to see them and printed out little tickets to Disneyland with their names on them, and wrapped them up with their shirt, ears and some cotton candy! They were excited to get packages and excited about the things inside but we had to help them along a little bit for them to realize what it all meant! haha And then they were really excited!
After getting our pictures done (Thanks Kels!) I worked the rest of the night picking out the best ones and creating the perfect social media post...
And it was out!!
The world finally knew!!
The day we announced I was 13 weeks 3 days! My nausea has lightened up, I'm not nauseous all day every day, just at night around 5-6 it kicks in. It was about 2 days after I hit the 2nd trimester that this changed! Hoping it keeps up! I haven't really had any cravings per-say but the food I eat the most of or is my go to is fruit! Nothing really ever sounds good, but when I do think of something that sounds good, then that's all I want! Sweets are a total turn off! Which is so weird cuz I am normally such a sweet tooth! But really fruit is all I want sweet wise! I also have always been a gum chewer but can't stand it right now! haha I can chew 1/2 a piece, or even 1/4th of a piece for a few minutes- probably 10 tops and then have to spit it out! So most of the time I just go without, which is so weird!
Weird or not, I Love Every Second Of It! 💓
