Beware: another long post!
We wanted to tell our families about our new addition in person, if possible. It worked our really well that my parents came into town for a quick visit and we had already planned our 4th of July weekend in Sanibel. My plan was to video tape all the reactions, but I only got a few...

Ashley & Greg
The day my parents went back to Columbus, Ashley went from Birmingham to their house. It worked out perfectly for me to send her gift with them, and we called on Skype for the big reveal. While we were chatting, Greg got online! David put on his shirt, and we revealed the big news to him that way. I couldn't record our Skype conversations, but I took screen shots to capture it.
"Aw. You've been a mom for 25 years, now you get to be one in real life."
"Are you excited to be fat?"

The Geyers & Johnsons
The Bogensbergers
We had planned to tell Greg and Jodi one night that we already had plans to eat dinner at their house. Little did we know, they were throwing us a "thank you party" for helping when Ella was born (which was the nicest thing anyone has ever done, and equally unnecessary because we didn't do much!). David broke the news by saying "we aren't going to be able to go on the Mediterranean cruise after all" (something we had been planning on doing in November) and responding to the "Why?"s by telling them "they won't let you cruise when you are 28 weeks pregnant!" Jodi flipped. It was so fun! We were able to make our party dual-purposed and celebrate baby Geyer too!
We had so much fun telling all of our close friends and family. We both spent hours on the phone to try and reach everyone we wanted to tell personally before they saw it on facebook, but we weren't entirely successful. Becca had one of the best reactions when she burst into tears, and Monty had the best response when he said "I didn't even know y'all were sleeping together!" (which will only be funny to you if you know Monty Hogewood :)).
Thank you, friends, for making this such a special time in our lives!
The Bryants
I didn't get these pictures (or a video) for the actual reaction, but we told the Bryants about our addition in a fun way. While were were all eating breakfast I put this bun in the oven and told Hayden to go get it out. She got it right away and shared the news with the fam.
