After our anniversary trip, we flew back to Chicago to share the baby news with family at long last. We'd been keeping it quiet for the requisite 3 months, plus the additional couple of weeks before our trip back home. We really wanted to share the news in person and it was well worth the wait!
To share the news, I made up these little cards that were birthday invitations. On the inside was a picture from the ultrasound and the "party details" included the due date as the party date, "Baby Duchek" as the person the party was for, and the location was the hospital. It was so much fun watching everyone react as they realized just what they were looking at! My cousin Amy's eyes just about bugged out of her head, and then we were jumping up and down while hugging like a couple of 14 years olds. 
My sisters were both shocked and excited all at once. And Brian's family is just thrilled. His dad immediately ran off and emailed all of his friends with the news. 
My mom is just plain relieved at no longer having to keep the secret!!
Here's a picture of the "reveal" to Brian's parents:
It was a whirlwind weekend of family and fun!!
