You see, I had showed up to their house a few days earlier dropping off Jhett on my way to work and without thinking said I was feeling nauseous. So my mom was quick to ask "are you pregnant?" I quickly said "no! don't you think I would have told you?!" My white lie worked and she didn't ask me again. So she was completely shocked when she read that card. My dad's parents and siblings were also all over so everyone got to hear the news. Congratulations and hugs were well given.
Jori & Dwight found out Christmas morning. They too were surprised and excited. My mom's parents were the next to find out. We left Dwight & Jori's to head over to my mom's since my grandparents were going to be there. My grandma Wood's reaction was also great. She literally screamed with excitement jumping off the couch to give me a hug. Then when she sat down she said that was the best present and got teary-eyed. Then we drove to Grandpa Porter's house to pay him a visit. His card was sent in the mail too and he congratulated us as we walked through the door.
As hard as it was to keep that a secret, and I know it was only 2 1/2 weeks, but still, it was so worth it!! Everybody's reactions made the wait great!
Paha! Everybody told me kids hate Santa when they are 1 years old. But this picture is just priceless!!
