Snapchat announcement

2/4/2018

We wanted to think of a fun way to tell Fred's nieces (ages 22, 19 and 14) that I am pregnant. We also wanted to tell them all together (two are in college). Since they were all home for a weekend, we were able to do this today.

We arranged with Fred's sister ahead of time that we would tell them. We FaceTimed one of them and spoke to everyone all at once.

We went through all of the normal catching up first and talking to each person. Then we said, hey we want to send you a funny Snapchat and see you open it together. 

We had taken the pics already so we sent them. There were three:
  1. Picture of us that said Frelaine
  2. Picture of us that said Is
  3. Picture of us holding the ultrasound picture and looking excited

They screamed in excitement. Right away one of them said “Frelaby!”. This was a nickname for our baby (since we go by Frelaine, it worked well).

We answered their questions and talked about it a bit more. One person asked the due date and I told them the reason I wouldn’t tell them. Then at least two of them admitted they would be asking me about when the baby was coming, which justified my decision not to tell them/anyone.
