So September 2 was going to be the next time my family was all going to be together for family dinner. I couldn't possibly be expected to wait that long, so on a whim, Dan and I decided we would tell my parents alone at dinner on Friday night. We were already planning to eat there before we drove back to our house after our week in Glendale. My mom had to leave for a while and that's when I went to work and pulled together a pseudo baby announcement. The plan was, I'd go out to my car saying I needed something and come back in saying "I found this on the door, Mom." She would open it thinking it was another party she had to attend until she read it. Well both my parents are basically blind apparently so it took them a few minutes (which felt like forever) and both of them looking at it, to realize what it was all about. We think they were just in shock because of their reaction. I'm sure my mom is now dying to share with her friends, but we told them we weren't telling anyone other than family just yet. (hence the reason why I still won't be posting this page) Until I'm more like 10-12 weeks along, hopefully I can hold out!
Next, we called my sister on speaker, and I got ahold of Erik via IM. So he called me later last night and got the news and then I called Scott this morning. I asked them what they were doing in April and would they be available to be an uncle/aunt!?!?? Scott started jumping ahead a little and asking us what names we were thinking of and already vetoing some of Dan's...hahaha! But it made me happy to be able to share with my family - the first Rogers' grandbaby!! And I look forward to Sunday when we get to tell Kent and Debbie they're going to have their 14th! Baby Mack already has one cousin on the way, due in October, so they'll be able to bond being so close in age! More to come on Announcement #2!
