**If you’re coming over from Kelly’s Korner, Welcome! This post was written shortly after announcing our pregnancy with #1! Welcome!
Pardon the picture B-L-A-R-I-N-G picture of Michael and me on my blog. LOL. I wanted to share a funny story, and to do so, needed you to see the picture as big as possible–It’s hard to make out the writing in the picture (though easier in person), and I wanted you to be able to visualize them as much as possible. 
When we shared our news with family members last weekend, Michael and I decided to break our news with a couple of decorated shirts. Michael wore a shirt that said “Coming Soon to a Family Near You…” Mine said “Little Boehmbino, May 2009. (switched in the picture–and to answer your question– yes, we wear the same shirt size, le sigh.) So, we wore the shirts to our family’s house and arrived at 6:30. We took off our coats and exposed the shirts. And waited. And waited. AND WAITED. AND WAITED. AT 10:30 (after dinner, sitting around the table chatting, playing games, etc.) Michael finally said something to the effect of “Do you like our shirts?” To which they read them BOTH and were excited for us.
Michael’s dad had noticed Michael’s, but thought that to stare and try to read mine would be impolite (Little Boehmbino, May 2009). Michael’s mom thought that they were church related and that we both had the same shirts. Talk about intense waiting.
We tried the same tactic the very next day and the shirts were noticed within minutes.
What I learned for future announcements:
#1 Bigger Fonts, Glow in the dark paint, lights, or arrows with a:READ THIS NOW message would be helpful.
3 days until Christmas! **Kelly’s Corner Friends, Thanks again for visiting! Click here to head to my home page!!
