We finally got to share our wonderful news with our families over the Thanksgiving Holiday. We told my family on Wednesday night, right after we got home from the airport. Josh called everyone in for a group hug and told them he made 3rd class, Petty Officer. Then he said I have some even better news, "Were having a baby!" Lindsi and Nat started screaming and Mom got tears in her eyes. Dad was overwhelmed by the screaming girls but I do think he got a little teary eyed. It was a really neat way to share our news. Nat was the first to touch my tummy and say hi to the baby. Since the baby was the size of a blueberry everyone kept saying take care of your little Blueberry. :)
The next morning we got to tell Susie and Shawntelle!! Josh also pulled them in for a hug and told them he made rank. Then he said, "Were having a baby!!" Susie looked like she was going to faint, Josh even reached out to catch her. She said she felt weak in her knees. :) Shawntelle started crying. They both were very excited! :) We had to wait to share the news with Rich until Sunday because he was out of town. We were super excited to tell him and when we did he got teary eyed. Every one's reactions really made us feel so special and excited! We are truly blessed to be able to to have this special baby in our life.
We also shared the news with Melissa and Favian on Thursday night. It was fun to share with our best friends who just went through having a baby. Melissa said, "I knew it!" It was really neat to see how happy they are for us.
Since the Holidays are so busy for Kasie and I we didn't get to see each other until Sunday night. But when I saw her I could hardly wait to tell her she was going to be an Aunt! She was really excited. We both really wish we could live closer so we could be around for the upcoming events. Maybe one day!
All in all, it was an amazing weekend filled with joy! We feel so blessed to be pregnant. We really cant believe that it is happening to us!! Josh and I are so anxious to see what the baby is going to look like!! Only 32 weeks left!
