This 13-Year-Old’s Reaction to Her Mum’s Pregnancy Announcement is Heartwarming to Watch
You will get a rush of emotions when you watch this video. (Well I did)
The video shows a sister and brother opening a white bag each. They are about to be told – or at least work out they are going to receive another sibling.
Alicia Tebbetts Capello and her husband were very eager to share the news of their pregnancy to their 13-year-old daughter Lexi and 5-year-old son, Nicky, they got them their own custom t-shirts.
Lexi opens her bag first which reveals a black t-shirt that reads ‘Biggest’. Nicky then opens his bag and finds a matching shirt that says ‘Middlest’. As soon as Lexi reads her brother’s t-shirt, it all makes sense and she immediately breaks down in tears at the news of her mum’s pregnancy.
The video was posted to the Love What Matters Facebook page and has received over 12k reactions.
Alicia had thought Nicky would be her last baby, but she and her husband are delighted to be pregnant with baby number three.
The video was accompanied with this post from Alicia,
“I was 17 and still in High School when our daughter was born. I wasn’t sure how I would do it but I was determined to be the best mom I could be. My now husband stepped in when she was very young and has been a wonderful Daddy to her ever since. She is 13 now and is a beautiful dancer with a kind heart. When she was 9, her spunky, sweet, and hilarious little brother was born. It felt like the first time all over again but our family felt complete. He’s 5 now and being a working mom with both kids involved in sports and a very busy life, I have always maintained that I was done having babies. 6 weeks ago we found out that I am pregnant. Once the initial shock wore off all we could think about was telling the kids. Last week, my husband picked up our daughter from a 2 week-long trip to visit family. When they came home, we gave each of the kids a little gift bag to open and their reactions were priceless! Our daughter sobbed in excitement and our son was in disbelief until he finally proclaimed YAY! I couldn’t have asked for a better reaction.
Parenting is HARD. It is long nights, fevers and skinned knees. It is sewing dance costumes at 11 PM, math problems you don’t understand and tears…so many tears. It is by far the hardest yet most rewarding thing I have ever done and I can’t wait to do it all over again. We are so blessed.”
Congratulations to the family. We have no doubt Lexi and Nicky will be the best older siblings to this little one on the way.
