Our little pumpkin

When Grant and I found out we were pregnant we were SO excited to tell our families! We chose to wait till I was a little closer to my second trimester to tell people for obvious reasons. We wanted to share the news in a fun way and realized we had so many holidays coming up that we could choose from.

Baby Butters apparently wanted everyone to know about him because I started showing pretty early on so we knew we couldn't hide it for too long. That is why we chose Halloween, I was about 11 weeks a long.

We first headed out to Sandy to tell the Bench side of our family. I knew that my parents were headed over to my sister Lindsay's house to see all of the grandkids in their Halloween costumes. We placed this little poster on my sister's door step and doorbell ditched them. My sister was the first to find out and she was really excited and shocked by the news. My favorite part is that my niece Hailey is beginning to read and she did not understand why my sister was excited..she thought it said Butler baby haha. Once my sister explained it the kids were all excited but at the same time not really understanding it. We left the sign inside of the front door for my parents to see when they walked in, and typical parents walked right over the sign. Eventually my dad saw it, looked up at me and said "Did your mother see this???" Both my parents were super excited and shocked. We had kept us "trying" a secret from everyone so no one really had any idea that this would be happening soon. 

Next we headed over to the Butters' side. We placed it on my in laws door step. Both of Grant's parents saw it and first thought that Ryan, Grant's little brother, was getting asked to the dance, then they thought it was Grant's older sister announcing she was pregnant. It took them a moment for the "Butters Baby" to click. Grant and I popped out and my father in law ran to me and picked me up in this giant hug! Needless to say, Brad and Karen were thrilled to hear we were expecting. It was just the expression and reaction we were hoping for.

We were so excited to tell our family and friends! There is nothing quite like sharing big news like this and to have everyone excited and supportive.
