Spreading our Joy!!!

Sunday, December 30th

We told our families this weekend that the two of us will soon be three! Friday night we went over to my Mom and Dad's house and gave them a "New Year's Gift," a gift of a health food book about eating right for your blood type. The card attached read "Love, The Three of Us." Mom was reading it out-loud with Dad and said Love like three times, screamed "The Three of Us!!!" dropped the card and did a silly, squished-face crying, run over and hugged me thing. Dad looked at the card, it sank in, and he got teary eyed and smiled so big. They couldn't believe it! So fun!
Saturday morning we woke up at 4am to drive to Waco to see Dustin's parents. We got to his brother's, Lee and Kristy's, house and they called them to come over. While we waited, we gave Lee and Kristy the news with the New Years card from the Three of Us and told my nephew, Price, that he was going to be a cousin! Becky and Brian came over and we suprised them when Dustin answered the door. We gave them a News Years Card and they both read it. Becky jumped up and gave us giggly hugs Dustin and Brian gave us the biggest hugs ever! They're excited!
Sunday, after church, we went back to Mom and Dad's and gave J-Lynn a crossword puzzle I told her was for the Youth Meeting that night. Each word in the puzzle had one letter underlined and the letter had a numbered space on the line at the bottom of the page. Once she found the letter's the message spelled out "We're Pregnant" She finished it and her eyes lit up and she gave me a great big hug. She's excited and thinks it's weird to be an aunt in Jr.High.
We aren't sharing the big news with everyone until we have a confirmed heart beat at 9-12 weeks. We are planning to tell my brother and his wife, Adam and Elizabeth soon. They are expecting only 8 weeks ahead of us. We don't want to just call them and drop the news, so we're going to figure out how to tell them soon.
It has been amazing to see everyone's faces and share the joy. My sister-in-law, Kristy, has been amazing and so helpful already. This is going to be a fun pregnancy to share with those we love!
