I found out the day before Bill's birthday and told him the news on his birthday. We decided to hold off on telling friends and family for a few weeks. We did so with this shirt. He has a white short-sleeved shirt too with the same wording. We had fun using this shirt to share the news with family and friends. Matthew - the messenger.
I was tempted to have him wear it about a month ago when we met up with Jack and Julie, Braska, Kinlee, and RK, and Henry and Heidi. But I didn't. During our fun playdate, I almost said something when Heidi said, "Henry is ready for a sibling. Do you think Matthew is ready for a sibling?" I was smiling on the inside and just nodded in agreement.
I wanted to wait until I was further along and had seen my doctor. I saw my doctor today and I'm going back for an ultrasound in a few days. I'm about 9 or 10 weeks along. Big brother Matthew doesn't realize what this means for him yet though. He will - in time.
In the photo, Matthew is in the red/white striped shirt, Henry is in the light blue shirt with the red stripe, Braska is the only one with the ponytail, Jack is in a white shirt right in the middle, and Kinlee, Braska's little sister, is in the light pink shirt.
