My parents moved to Malaysia some 18years ago now so we don't get to see them very often. This year however they wanted to come over for G 's first birthday however my brother got married in Jamaica a few weeks before this and was having a party when they got back and I managed to convince them they needed to come back for that not a birthday! We found out we were expecting about 6weeks before they were due to land so we decided to keep it to ourselves until then. They arrived the day before our 12wk scan and that evening we had both sets of parents round for dinner. Before the meal wet old them that G was being promoted to big brother! The father in law got his wires crossed and thought he was going to be on big brother! It took a while to explain!
We had organised a naming day/birthday party for G's first birthday while mum and dad were still here. So we celebrated a bit early but he was none the wiser! Surrounded by family and friends we celebrated G's life and welcomed him into the family then before we lit the candle on his cake we told everybody in the room. I had been concerned that certain people would be bothered they hadn't been told before or personally but there were plenty of squeals and everyone was genuinely pleased for us, and in the end it was lovely being able to share with all of them all at once rather than keep having to tell people.
