And now, everyone knows… October 2, 2007
Just over a week ago, we finally shouted our news from the rooftops – or email blasted the world! Over the next 24 hours, my email box was filled with congratulations and best wishes from friends and family. Just a couple of weeks prior, after my birthday, I told Bobby that I thought one of the best things about my birthday was the inbox full of birthday wishes. This was even better!
I saved every email, and while I don’t yet know exactly what I will do with them, I will definitely keep everyone! From predictions of whether we will have a boy or a girl, to pregnancy tips and lots of love!
And, of course, the cards in the mail. Aunt Jerry sent me a handwritten note on her stationary, and it is very special.
At the office, we told people very quickly, and then figured word would spread to the others. But I guess because we kept it secret for so long, people waited for us to tell everyone. By Thursday, I gave up trying to hide the little bit of a bump I am now sporting and wore a dress. About mid-day Mandy stopped me to tell me a story of Terrance and Adam calling to ask if I might be pregnant. Playing coy – Mandy wouldn’t say, and at her suggestion, I decided to play a little joke. I went in to see Terrance and told him that a little birdie told me that he thought I was getting fat… Poor Terrance stuttered and spurted even after I relieved him by telling him that I was indeed 13 weeks pregnant. hehehe – it was fun!
Finally, the last people we told were Deborah and Ronnie. We knew we were having dinner with them Saturday, and we had decided to wait to tell them in person. In preparation for dinner, we had a lengthy email discussion about where to eat. Even pickier than normal, it was a comical chain as restaurant after restaurant was vetoed. In the end, we ended up at Uno’s for dinner and watched the game after dinner at the house. It was a fun night! (There was a certain game incident that night, but we shan’t talk about that…)
So, now that everyone knows – it is so great! Now, if I can just get past this sickness junk…
Thanks for the love!!!
