Announcing the Coming of Our Little Coffey Bean


Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos

Here is Aaron's family's reaction to telling them about our little baby! :) What a hoot! We were in Rocky Mount for a week of meetings and had to wait 3!! months to tell them in person. By their reactions, it was defintely worth the wait.

Unfortunately, i did not even think about videoing my parents when we made the BIG Announcement, so we just have pictures! :) This one captures my mom about 2.346 minutes after it really began to sink in that she was going to be a GRANDMA! :)

WOW!! And I thought my mom got excited when I told her that I was pregnant.
I liked your idea of getting the ultrasound framed (that's what it looked like anyway, is that what it was?)

Congrats again!!

So glad I could help you get the video up...definitely worth it. That reaction was priceless! You guys have such cute families anyways!! So, Rob and I are kind of in "suspense" though - what was in that bag?! Was it an ultrasound like Shannon said?! Love that!!! Rob said to Aaron, "Congrats, Big Dog! The world is not ready..."

That's so great! I don't know your husband's family, but by the looks of things, your little person is in for some Good Times with both sides of the extended family!

CONGRATULATIONS from the Fetterolf family. The video was hilarious; we were all laughing, especially Ben. Parenting is wonderful, but grandparenting is more wonderful. You're all in for a real treat.
