It was a ’Kuchh Meetha Ho Jaaye’ (‘Let’s have Dessert’) night and I invited a few of our close friends over. I had made Bread pudding, Rice kheer/pudding and Banana Walnut Cake Pops. We had also planned to play Taboo in which we had added a wild card which read ‘Yummy Yummy, Baby in SU’s Tummy’ (In case you don’t know, Su is my nick name and yes, I am expecting!!!) and the person who gets the card will enact it and the rest (of course excluding myself and my husband) will guess it.
No one had an idea that we were gonna break the big news to them as I was just two and half months through. They all came and enjoyed the bread pudding (In the meantime, I was decorating the cake pops with something related to the news) and then we started playing taboo. I wanted one of the girls to get the wild card so that it is easy for them to enact. But to my surprise, she did not get the message. First of all, she couldn’t digest the fact that there is a wild card in Taboo and secondly, she went to Syracuse University (SU) and hence read the ‘SU’ part as Syracuse University (even she knows it didn’t make sense but she was in the mood to win the game). So she tried to enact it and everyone could guess everything other than my name. Finally, it clicked to one of my friends and she hugged me screaming "She is pregnant, guys!" It was then clear to everyone that we are expecting and they connected the dots like I am not drinking any more, I didn't go to play paintball, etc. Everyone was shocked to hear the news (I think they never thought we would want to have kids :)). Then everyone wished us and I introduced the cake pops with Jr. Su / Jr. Ram written on them. All the girls were asking me questions and a friend's mom had come as well and she was very impressed with the way we broke the news. It was a night to remember!!! (for us and for the friend who thought SU was Syracuse University and not SUJATA)
