Saturday was a big day for Scotty and me. After finding out that the baby is healthy, we felt it was safe to tell everyone. Since we were not successful in getting all of Scotty's family on Skype so that we could tell them in the best possible 'in person' way we can from 3 states away, Scotty just called them on the phone. They are all thrilled! About ten minutes after Scotty hung up with his mom, his best friend's mom, Barbie, called him. Oh yeah, the news is spreading like wildfire, just as we suspected it would.
Saturday morning Scotty and I drove to my aunt and uncle's house in Round Rock for a family weekend with my mom's side of the family. Scotty had a shirt made for me that said, "Bun in Oven" on the front and "Baking in Progress" on the back. I wore the shirt that day and that is how everyone would know that we are expecting. I had to tell a couple of people to look at my shirt that day, but for the most part they caught on quickly. Of course, everyone was excited!
I thought it was comical, yet so true, that my sister suspected that I was pregnant. She said that every time I talked to her on the phone I didn't have a lot to say and it seemed like I was keeping something from her. We are very close sisters and it doesn't surprise me that she felt this way, as I felt like I had to watch everything I said to her and at times it was easier to just avoid people than to watch what I say. Leah, my sister-in-law who is 7 months pregnant, said she kept having dreams of me, pregnant, in Alaska. How funny!
Many were shocked that I kept a HUGE secret for 2 months without telling anyone. Yep, I am too actually! I'm so glad that the secret is out and I don't have to keep watching what I say.
I will tell work soon. This morning sickness is getting tough and it's getting harder to hide it. In the meantime though, I'm so glad that our loved ones finally know!!! Thanks for all of your support!! This baby is already loved by so many people. We are incredibly blessed.
