Rewind Part 1
Rewind Part 2

Even though we couldn't find a shirt anywhere in our neck of the woods that had anything remotely to do with Luke being a big brother, we went to plan B. When we were pregnant with Luke we had an excuse to come over and see our family because we found out the night before Valentine's Day and brought them all Valentine's Day cards. But this time was different. We had no special reason to just show up at their houses at like 7pm.

So, we called Brandon's parents and said we were dropping a kid off from Brandon's soccer practice at a house near by and thought we'd stop in to visit for a minute. (He coached soccer at that time). So they really didn't think anything of it. Well, we walked in and of course all their attention went straight to Luke, which always happens with all his grandparents. and Brandon, being his witty, funny self, decided to make hints the whole time to see how long it would take for them to pick up on it. So, as he was fixing Luke a drink he said something like, "Wow mom, your new fridge would hold a lot of BREAST milk in that door right there." To which his mom replied, "well, I guess it would if you needed it to." NOTHING. He acted like he was looking at their new microwave and opened the door and said, "wow, you could heat up a lot of bottles or baby food in their at one time," to which his mom replied, "well, yeah, you could." NOTHING. Luke kept their entire attention the whole time. Brandon's dad talked about his foot and how he needed to take it easy, and Brandon said something like, "yeah, Sarah might need to too." NOTHING.

That went on for literally 30 minutes before Brandon's mom said, "wait, why would you want to store breast milk in my fridge" (or something to that effect). Smiles ensued, and they knew. I couldn't help but laugh out loud the whole time because it was so obvious what Brandon was saying, they just never got it. It was hilarious.

After that, we headed over to my mom's and used the same excuse as we did with the inlaws, except this time it was closer to 8pm. So we showed up and my mom did the exact same thing with Luke. Scooped him up and it was all about him. So Brandon went to work on letting the cat out of the bag, saying pretty much all the same things he said to his mom and dad. It took my mom and sister about 20 minutes to get it. And then they didn't believe us! My sister ran upstairs, grabbed a pregnancy test, and made me take it. To which of course there were 2 big lines. It was so funny. Mom pulled out a book she had been saving for Luke about a big brother and how his parents brought home a new baby. And the big brother's name in the story was Luke. She dated it and wrote a little message in it. It was too cute.

So, needless to say, even though we didn't get to tell them exactly how we wanted too, it was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen watching and listening to my husband spill the beans and both sets of grandparents not get it for a loooooooonnnnnggggg time. heehee
