13-Year-Old Sobs Tears of Sheer Joy Over Her Mom's Pregnancy Announcement

Surprising The Kiddos!

"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."

Once the initial shock of finding out she was pregnant with her third child wore off, Alicia Tebbetts Capello and her husband couldn't wait to announce the news to her 13-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. At nine weeks pregnant, Alicia wrapped up t-shirts for her two kids, one that read "Biggest" for Lexi and a matching one for Nicky that said "Middlest." As soon as she read her little brother's shirt, Lexi didn't even need to see the matching "Littlest" onesie her mom was holding out to realize what the gifts meant.

In a video posted to Facebook, the teen immediately breaks down into tears while her brother stands off to the side, convinced the news is a total joke. "We gave each of the kids a little gift bag to open and their reactions were priceless!" Alicia shared with the Love What Matters. "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."

Although Alicia was convinced that after having Nicky she was done with babies, the mom could not be happier about baby number three being on the way. "Parenting is HARD," she wrote. "It is long nights, fevers, and skinned knees. It is sewing dance costumes at 11 p.m., 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."
