So Much for Waiting...

Being the impatient person that I am, I couldn't wait until Christmas to tell our families.

I bought/made these cute frames for them. :) And we wrapped them like Christmas presents. When we went to my parents' house for Thanksgiving yesterday, we intended on just giving it to them right when we got there, to get it over with. But, unfortunately, they were napping when we got there. So we decided to wait until after dinner. I was going to do it before dinner, but J said he "wanted to eat!", so we waited until we ate first. haha. My parents were sitting in the living room, so I handed it to my mom and told her we got them a present. She immediately goes "Oh, this feels like chocolate!" and J and I were both thinking "We sure wish it was chocolate right now.......!" Once she opened it, her words were "Oh! Congratulations! Tim we're grandparents!" Totally not expected from her. We were expecting a lecture or some side-eyes. My dad, on the other hand, kinda sat there in disbelief. haha. But he said he was happy for us. He's just not sure he's ready to be a grandfather. SO happy to have that over with!!! I also told my 13-year-old twin brothers. Who's only responses were "Well that's weird."

Then we went to J's parents' house to tell them. They've been asking us about grandkids since before we got married, so we knew they would be happy! We gave his parents the "present", and his dad said "you guys didn't have to get us a present..." and tried to give it back! I told him this is not something they can give back. ha! :) His mom just got the top part of the frame unwrapped, and screams across the room "YOU'RE PREGNANT???!!!" It was hilarious :) She jumped up off the couch to hug both of us, and everyone couldn't help but laugh. She walked around with that frame all night long, hugging it and staring at it :)

So the families know. Can't WAIT to get to the doctor Tuesday to see what's going on in my belly. I've been in extreme pain today...my legs, back, stomach, and chest. Not sure if it's from the football we played yesterday, or from the baby, but I have not been a happy camper! Hopefully this will wear off by the time I have to go to work tonight...
