Now F_'s parents were with the programme it was time to go live with my folks. We had chosen Sunday dinner as an opportunity to tell my parents and sisters all at once. Our cunning plan was to present them with an ordinary photo wallet and ask who wanted to see some cute baby photos. This worked like a charm and everyone gathered round expecting to see new photos of Olivia. The scan photos were met with squeals of delight. Both my sisters claimed that they had suspected for sometime that I was pregola but strangely neither of them had mentioned it to each other or Mum - hmmmm me thinks a bit of hindsight at work there :) Congratulations were offered all round and everyone was very excited by the news.
So with the family over it was time to move to the rest of our nearest and dearest, our closest friends. This was a bit tricker because as we have previously mentioned one of the people on the email list we use to keep in touch with mates recently suffered a miscarriage. Considerate of her feelings we decided to take the initial announcement and subsequent congratulatory email offlist and approach her individually. An email to our chums and one to the couple who lost their own baby was met with many kind congratulations.
Now there was just work to tell...
