Telling My Parents

Nick and I went back and fourth several times on deciding who and when to tell. We talked about waiting to tell anyone until 3 months, but we were way to excited and decided we would just tell our parents. Here's how it went.

October 12, 2009 (the day we took our test)
In the midst of test number two I was so shocked I wanted to call my mom right away. Nick stopped me, and told me to wait. So immediately after we get confirm #2 we head to my moms.
We show her the tests and tell her guess what?! She is just as shocked as we are, and I am almost positive that at some point she was trying to figure out who I got to pee on these things. She smiled that entire night! Well then Malinda walks in the room shortly after and goes, "what's going on?" "are you pregnant?" Well I guess we are telling siblings too:) She then follows up with "you are going to get so fat!" What a nice 14 year old sister!
My dad was out of town at the time, so we were thinking we would wait for him to get back to tell him in person. Well then he calls shortly after and is talking to my mom. She then hands me the phone and says "Moni, I can't do this, you need to tell him." So I tell him and he says "nice":0) and mentions how he is too old to be a grandpa. He then asked when he can tell his mom, and we make him promise to wait! We were planning on telling her at Thanksgiving, they leave the day after, so that way we would have already gone to the doctor and we could tell them in person.
So we head home and I then call my brother. He is so excited and says "I am going to be an uncle!" He then told Nick about how it's soooo going to be a boy and the joke around a bit. Next I call his girlfriend Amanda, she was my first screamer! And then she kept saying no way! Once I finally convinced her I was serious she was even MORE excited. We then talked a little about how much fun it would be for her to buy cute little girl outfits:)
After that I read for a little from my What to Expect Before You are Expecting book and went to bed. What a great first day of pregnancy!
