Breaking THE News...

Erik arrived home from work yesterday morning around 7:25 (a lot earlier than usual) and I was ready and waiting on him. We had a lot of stops to make starting out at my mom's for the delivery of good news. Each of our parents received a box with "baby things" in it. We were just hoping that they would "get it." If you know what I mean! After Mom's, we headed to Erik's parents. They were SUPPOSED to be cooking breakfast for Mama B and Daddy B, but when we pulled up and got out of the car, their house was dark as a dungeon with no one in sight. It was the oddest thing. I turned to Erik and he immediately called them on the house phone. Finally, they answered and Erik ordered them to the door! Come to find out, Mama B and Daddy B never showed! Its nothing like being made to get out of the bed on Christmas morning huh? I am quite sure they didn't mind!! After leaving there, we headed to Dad's for our usual Christmas morning breakfast and Santa, where we dropped the bomb and then back to Mom's. This year we had dessert over at my Uncle Byron and Aunt Judy's, and then we went to Mama B and Daddy B's for supper. Lets just say that there were A LOT of tears shed throughout the day yesterday. It was the best Christmas!

So sweet! Mrs. Susan called me today to tell me her pastor announced from the pulpit today that your mother was looking especially "grandmotherly!" I can only imagine she is beside herself. Judging from the reactions, my guess is you'll have people knocking on your door to babysit...awesome!
