Thank goodness for Easter! Holidays are the perfect time to surprise family with this kind of news...for the kids, we're going to hide an extra basket with very obvious clues that another baby is on the way. For my in-laws, we're still trying to figure out what exactly we'll do, maybe hide an egg with the news in it? For now, the news will be shared with family and closest friends, people we know support us and will celebrate in the new life. It's hard not to anticipate some judgement and negativity from people who think 5 kids is too much...so for now, we'll be keeping it off social media.

 | Comment from BrendaJohnson » Posted Apr. 1, 2018 8:10pm Hey there! I think that is a great idea. The easter surprise will be great. Also a very good decision to keep it off social media for now. People will judge you always. For one thing or the other. Let them be. Enjoy your life to its full. |
| Comment from babylove14 » Posted Mar. 29, 2018 8:12pm Aww. That's a cute idea. I am keeping mine off of social media for the same reason accept I'm on number 4. They'll know once she's born. During my pregnancy I only want positive vibes instead of the "time to the your tubes" comments that I got last time. Congratulations! |

| Comment from saramccartney123 » Posted Mar. 29, 2018 11:14am Hey. Congratulations. This is great news. I think your idea of hiding the news in easter eggs is great. They will be surprised for sure. Don't worry about what people might think. They don't have anything else to do with their lives. |
