Spreading the News!

On a normal Tuesday morning I awoke and decided to pee on a stick. I didn’t get excited because these little sticks had let me down many times before. I left the bathroom and let prissy out and went back to look at the test about 15 minutes later. I was not expecting to see POSITIVE but that indeed is what it read. I had it all planed out for months how I was going to tell Chris and our family and friends but on this Tuesday morning all of that escaped me. I wanted to tell Chris in person so that meant I had to wait all day and keep this exciting news to myself. We all know that I am not good at keeping secrets! But I did.


Chris worked late that night but when he did finally arrive home he was greeted with Prissy wearing a “Big Sis” t-shirt and two positive pregnancy test on his night stand. (His night stand is his first stop when he arrives home to empty his pockets. ) He looked at me and said that they were fake!!! Once he came to grips with the exciting news we were off to tell the family.

First stop was his parents house. It was 9:00 at night. They had to know something was up. They were both very excited! We were then off to my mom’s house. We handed her a burp cloth monogrammed with “Mimi” ( a grandmother name she has picked out many moons ago). Once the tears stops we loaded her up and headed to mamaw and papaw’s house. By this time it is nearly 10:00 pm . Mom handed Mamaw the burp cloth and once she put two and two together tears came flowing down. They are so excited to have their first great-grandchild.

The next day I picked Claire up from school with a poem telling her the news. I took her home and she told her mom and Cade. I had a burp cloth made for Michelle with “Nanny” monogrammed on it. (This is what I called her as a child) I am surprised that all of Tyler didn’t know the news from Michelle’s screams alone.

That day I also called my Dad and told him he was going to be a grandfather. I don’t think he was quite ready for the news of his baby having a baby. He was quite surprised to say the least.

That weekend I was off to the Dallas area to tell all of my girl friends and on Monday the facebook annoucement was made.
