How did we tell family?

We went to New England for a family reunion on Lindsay's side. We arrived to Lindsay's grandparents house on Thursday night. So did her parents. It was so late in the evening, that we decided we should wait until Friday to share the news. So we waited... and waited. Amy and Aaron were to arrive on Friday so we thought, we'll just wait for them, then tell everyone at once. Well, they didn't come until about 11:00 am. After everyone arrived, the chatter was high and there was a lot going on. People were in and out of the house, so we weren't sure when to break the news. Finally, we decided to just do it. Lindsay went upstairs and put on a shirt that read, "It's a girl... or a boy." She came downstairs and sat in the chair. Amy was the first to read it. She and Lindsay ran into a room to celebrate because no one else had seen it, but when they ran in, Lindsay fell and they began to laugh loudly. Everyone came in, wondering what all the noise was about. One by one they read the shirt and learned of the wonderful news!

We drove to Ben's parent's house in New Hampshire a few days later. Once again, Lindsay wore the shirt. Linda read the shirt right away and said, "Are you pregnant?!"

We were so fortunate that the pregnancy happened right around the time we were expected to see our family. It would not have been the same sharing the news with everyone over the phone.
