We told the Goberts on March 12 for Mom's birthday. It was over the phone, of course, but we still managed to get some good audio. (Video is of the ultrasound picture we sent. The talk bubble says "Hey Toots!," but Mom has since changed her grandma name to "Tootsie.")

(warning - this video is crazy long)
Then we were finally able to find all of the Cooleys in the same place on Easter. The plan was to tell Livia (our 3.5 year old niece) a "secret," thinking that of course she had no capacity to keep a secret for more than 10 seconds. It didn't work out so well. We have video of this as well:

Our backup plan was to put a copy of the ultrasound picture in a plastic easter egg and give it to Granddad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWaLnkaKQkc
Shortly thereafter, Bud took his copy of the ultrasound picture and taped it to the wall-o-family photos - you can see it on the right, between the framed photos and Livia's artwork (click to see a larger version).
So, good results all around. And now we can finally tell other people!
