So, Dave and I have been keeping a secret for quite a while now.
WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!
We've known for many weeks but decided to keep it quiet until after I was able to get an appointment and confirm everything. Well, on Monday afternoon we were given the confirmation that I am in fact pregnant! At the time they believe I was a little over 9 weeks along. Everything checked out fine and we even got to hear the heartbeat!!! The midwife*, Alice, said we may not hear it since it's normally not heard until about another week later. It took a while but we were eventually able to hear that beautiful sound!
This was the day after mother's day and after Grace and I went to see my Grandma's with my parents, she went home to spend the night with them. It was because Dave and I "had some running around and work and stuff to do". haha It was so hard to cover it all up and I was so worried someone was going to ask what work we were doing or where we were going to be, or just SOMETHING was going to make them suspicious.
Dave called his mom right away as we were leaving the appointment. (Let me tell ya, we considered not telling her and the family and just let them find out when the baby was born or we showed up to visit sometime after the birth. Dave's family (mom, dad, and two sisters) live in Florida and especially his mom isn't very happy about not seeing her grandbaby more often. I offered to call her for him but he did it and he survived. haha (Pam - don't worry, we wouldn't have not told you guys! :) We just joked about lots of ways of telling people about...
