Breaking the News to our Family

November 22nd was Thanksgiving this year and that was the day we got to tell our families the secret we had been keeping for over a month!
As soon as I woke up on Thanksgiving morning I jumped out of bed and got ready for the day! I was so excited to let the cat out of the bag. First stop was Josh's parents house. We got there about 11:15 and Josh and I decided to tell them as soon as we got there. We waited until everyone was in the living room (Josh's mom, dad, grandma and sister) and then I handed them all a grape and told them that was the size of baby Stevenson. I LOVE Brenda's reaction! She was so excited! Everyone cried and hugged me and they didn't even know that Josh was sitting in the other room secretely taking a video.

Next stop was my mom's house in Olathe so we hit the road. I knew my dad was out of town so we called him and told him on the phone on our way to my mom's. At first he asked "How did that happen?" Which was a typical response from my dad and then he got serious and was very sweet and told me how happy he was for us and how proud he is.

We made it to my mom's house and my mom was busy finishing dinner in the kitchen while Erica, Abel, Charlene and JR were all hanging out in the living room. So I grabbed up my sweet new nephew, Cruz, and then from the living room I yelled "MOM! Hey Mom!!!" When she finally said "What?" I said "I'm pregnant!!" No one believed me at first but then I showed them the sonogram picture and pictures of the positive pregnancy test and then they started to believe me! My sister Barbie finally made it to mom's house around 9:00 and I was laying on the couch with Cruz she came over to take him from me and my mom told her not to because I was practicing. Barbie looked confused and said "Are you pregnant?" I told her I was and she didn't believe me either!

Well, it was a successful Thanksgiving and now it's no longer a secret!! YAY!!
