Telling the students

Zeb and I decided to tell the girls basketball team first. These girls had worked hard all summer in the weight room, and much of that time was spent pestering Zeb about when we were going to have a baby. Little did they know, we were already pregnant:) Two days before school started we decided to have a BBQ to reward the girls for all their hard work in the gym, at least that's what we told them.

 

 I knew I wanted to find a cute way to tell them, so I spent much time agonizing over the perfect way. When I came up with an idea, Zeb's response was "You are such a teacher!" I decided to make them work for the information. I wrote each letter of "We are having a baby" on cupcakes and scrambled them up. I told the girls that they couldn't eat any until they figured out what it was supposed to say. Lucky for me, Zeb was videotaping them and started the video at exactly the right moment. He caught it on tape when they figured out what it said. Their reaction was better than I could have imaginedJ  The girls were genuinely excited for us.  Looks like we will have lots of babysitters available!
