so we told some family tonight!
after dinner matt and i stopped by my parents house. i knew they would be home cause i had tried one last time to get natalie to come over but she insisted on studying and eating dinner at home with mom and dad. we got there and had some small talk, told them we just stopped by on the way home. once natalie came downstairs and everyone was in the kitchen i pulled out their gift! i handed it to mom and said "here, this is an early anniversary gift for you and dad". she did not seem to think much of it and went about opening it. natalie was standing by with a sly look on her face. once she read the card she handed it to dad to read and began opening the book. after about 3 seconds of reading the title she looked up, surprised, and said "what does this mean?"
a few seconds later dad caught on and blurted out, "are you pregnant? thats what i'm talking about!"
there were many congratulations and hugs!
natalie then tells me she "knew it all along! why else would you try so hard to get me to come over today then just "drop in" un announced??" she is a clever one!
whew! finally we told someone! what a hard secret to keep!
next, to tell susan!
matt had texted his mom earlier in the day to see if she would be around the house tonight cause we may "stop in". i suppose susan thought this was odd and had a conversation about it at work with some ladies then on the way home via phone with nicole.
after some more small talk i brought out the wrapped book to hand her. i told susan that mom and i had been out shopping and came across something she may like..and that mom bought her one too!
matt snuck out his phone and caught her reaction on video!! funny!
she too was surprised and very excited for us!
we called nicole and jeff while there and shared the good news with them! we are so grateful to have loving and supportive family around us and with this new blessing!
i have to work tomorrow and wednesday, boo! and then we plan on telling matt's dad, david on thursday! after that we can share the news with everyone!
march 27th with be an exciting time for the simpson/brooks family!!
