So much for secrets!
So much for keeping this a secret. Daddy and I couldn't wait any longer to share our excitement with the rest of our family. We planned a get together with the McCord side. We planned to tell your Grandma Lisa, Grandpa Dan and Great-Grandma June. We planned a nice day to the apple orchard. Your grandma thought that I had a remodeling gift for the Bahamas condos to give her. Little did she know that she was about to get a bigger gift than that! I wrapped up a book called, "I Loved you Before You Were Born" for grandma. I put a card on top that said, "for the grandma-to-be." For great grandma, I wrapped a book that she can record her voice in and read to you.
On our way to their house someone crashed into the back of our car! When the man from the other car ran out to see if we were ok he said, "I am so sorry, I hope you weren't on your way to something important!" Your dad and I had to hold back a little laugh.
When we finally, made it to grandma and grandpa's house, we gave the gifts. When your grandma opened the card she read the front (grandma-to-be) and she threw the card in the air and started crying happy tears. She hugged us both. Great Grandma yelled out, "I KNEW IT!" Grandpa Dan was in shock but was also very excited! He informed us that he would prefer to be called, "Pa Pa Dan." We gave him a book called, "I Already Know I Love You."
The day was beautiful and we spent the rest of the afternoon chatting about you as we spent the day outside at the apple orchard.
When we got home, grandma and grandpa told us that we should tell Uncle Nate and Aunt Rebecca. Uncle Nate just moved to South Carolina, so we video chatted with him on the computer. When we told them, they thought we were playing a trick on them. When they realized we were serious, they were so excited!
That night we went to a firework show and told Aunt Kathy and Uncle Curt. Then, at the end of the night we picked up Aunt Noelle and I told her by framing a silly photo of me with the pregnancy test. Aunt Noelle usually doesn't get emotional and she got teary eyed when she found out. She can't wait to be your aunt!
