I just had to tell!!

March 21, 2009

So yesterday was the 80th birthday party for my great Grandma Curtis. And it was seriously killing me not to be able to tell anyone that we are having a baby! So Zach and I decided to tell our families only this weekend and WHOOO-HOOO it felt so good to be able to tell them. Of course I should have known not to tell my mom in a public place bacause I knew she would cry but I just couldn't hold it in any more. So there we were sitting at the table eating our dinner with about 50 people around and I decide to tell them! Hahahaha I know it wasn't very good timing but I just couldn't help it! I think that my dad was a little too shocked to let it set in...I mean it's his first daughter having a baby and the first grand baby at that. Of course my mom immediately went out and had to buy some baby clothes and a little toy lion (go Royals!!). We also told Zach's family who were just as excited. We were having a little outing with the girls to go shopping for Maria to get a new Sunday outfit for Garrett's blessing that is next week and the boys were staying home watching the NCAA tournament, so Zach told the boys and I told the girls. When we were shopping I didn't know how to tell them but it was made easy for me when we walked right by the Gymboree store and everybody was oohhing and aahhing over the little clothes and tennis shoes and I couldn't help but start to blush so I am sure that that gave it all a way right then. It really feels so nice to have told them though now I can ask all of the questions that I have or just talk to them whenever I need. :0)

I think that I enjoyed Bridger's reaction the best though...He was speachless, jaw dropped to the floor and starting to blush a little! Hahaha he was so cute, finally when he could say something he said "I am an uncle??" He was so suprised and so cute! I love our families so much and I am so thankful for their support!
