Telling the family
Well we have a plan and it was going to start unfolding yesterday… but tomorrow is the day. We plan on getting Erin’s parents the phone at the same times (Erin’s is some how going to work this) and I am going to be listening in on the other line. I am not sure if she knows the words that she is going to use yet, but it will flow when the time is right. After we let her parents know we will be calling Marc to let him know as well.
My dad is arriving in three days to help reshingles the house. When we pick him up at the airport, we are going to have a balloon that says ‘Grandpa’ on it… I think he will catch on right away. Then we will give Belva a call and let her know the exciting news and that he arrived safely.
Next Lori, Joe, and Grayson will arrive on Thursday and we will let them in on the news as we give them a tour of the house and show them into the nursery.
And finally, we are going to tell my mom (sorry you are the last to find out this time) via a video chat. This one should be fun. First we plan on having her talk to her grandson (Grayson), then have her talk to her grandpuppy (Nuba), and then let her know that there is another grandchild that would like to say hi… but she has to wait until April to meet him or her.
By the time eveyone finds out we will be around day 48 to 50, depending on when we can get mom on the computer. We can’t wait to share the news w/ our family and then some more friends after that. There are currently a limited number of very close friends at church that know and have been praying for you Little E.
I am trying to make sure mommy gets all of the right sort of foods to keep her and you healthy and strong. The drinking a lot of water in a day has been the largest strugle so far, but it is becoming more natrual now.
I Love you little one. Your mommy and I are very excited that the Lord has blessed us w/ you. We pray that we will be great parents to you and that you are growing healthy and strong now. It is an amazing thing to realize that God knows all of the days of your life even now.
