jacobson juice: Surprise!

Well it's not a surprise anymore, but about a month weeks ago we had a few of our NB friends over to tell them that we are going to have a BABY!!! Crazy!! (It was pretty last minute and only called those we knew were home an in town. I was super big on keeping this on the DOWN LOW! So, if you didn't get a call it was because I was super sneaky and knew you weren't home, haha! I also wanted to tell everyone myself ;)!

We told our parents, siblings, and dearest friends first but didn't tell our community and the rest of the world (aka facebook) until after 12 weeks. I really wanted to keep it quite so that I could have the chance to tell my work friends and most importantly the families of my new students. I wanted to be extra sensitive to all of the mommies who were entrusting their babes to me as the new teacher. Well, everyone knows now and everyone is sooo happy! It was the hardest not to tell our community of friends that we see all the time.

The funny thing about this last minute party is that we simply decorated with a few baby things and my ULTRASOUND on the food table. Of course all of the women were making sure the food was set and attending to kiddos. The men started pigging out and Brent and I just sat back and smiled. Finally, someone saw the children's books and asked me if I was trying to get them to donate money to my classroom. Haha...not the sharpest bunch I guess! Just kidding! They all eventually noticed, freaked out, hugged us, rubbed my flat belly, and drank the wine that I so badly wanted!!! Good times all around! Here are just a few random pictures from the evening.
